human being every animal has messenger r.n.a. in the cells so messenger on a is an intermediate molecules or so many many people know the aid which has the stable genetic information and messenger r.n.a. is produced in se and after being put use it serves as a template to make proteins but what is important is not a stable molecule it's active only for a few days and is degraded by the cellular machinery within a few days and our messenger r.n.a. which we use which we use for making the b n t 162 b. 2 vaccine this is mimics the national natural m. on a moloch molecule and it has no no no and the components and then the naturally valid known molecules it is constantly active like any other natural messenger
12:46 pm
r.n.a. it encodes the spike put in and it's down there after that they created within a few days. so why is message messenger on such a powerful solution for this pandemic so it is it is a molecule which was which is studied by research more than 50 years. including basically at the applications as well as clinical research messenger r.n.a. molecules attested in clinical clinical studies for more than 20 years. and hold for them for this pandemic is is based on the. simple simple simply use of this technology to make a vaccine actually what we do is the take a piece of the genetic information off disaster to a virus and. to encode this this information using on messenger
12:47 pm
on a platform then this messenger r.n.a. is formulated this little bit to make a little nano particle and this little nano particle put text a messenger on it so that it is not the created and it allows also to deliver the messenger on a to specialist sas in the body which have to mount a strong immune response and after delivery the delivery is done by income leaving a press conference of by an act with coming back to the studio here listening to this just to sum it up for us what have we learned at the press conference itself from the 2 co-founders of bio on tech dr. and his wife who we had from 1st dr islam to reggie and they were just taught as they gave us a kind of one through of her they basically got to this point which was hold it project light speed i found out because nothing was faster than the speed of light
12:48 pm
and we got there we had about that kind of mass global effort to reach this point which studies face clear. trials in argentina brazil in china on the us and in here in germany and we had a bit more about the effects you know this is the 95 percent fact of cross old age group so it is even for normal vaccine that's incredibly high not to mention one this devastated the global economies last year and the other thing that we had there was the you know it's a tuesday vaccine that will. provide immunity after 4 weeks roughly i got some the technical details there from from. the m.r.i. r. and r m r n a magazine itself which it was explaining that that it's the 1st time it's used on humans. and it's kind of a experimental technology so they're really hugely relieved that it's worked i'm sure. they've won at least among western companies they've won the race how
12:49 pm
we haven't won the race i mean it's partly because of project light speed in the success of a but it's also something interesting because it's not the only vaccination candidate that uses m.r.i. any technology but apparently were dead in the dead and they had to review their their face to be trials because it wasn't because the the the samples that it was the reason than have enough ethnic minorities not delayed then significantly so it's partly only because they you know that. taken pfizer saw regular rest that they that they managed when i said thank you let's go now to barbara vessel who is standing by outside pfizer's belgian plant where the vaccine is being manufactured. the sight behind you will be very busy in the next few months won't it. oh absolutely and the question of course is being put is
12:50 pm
this factory in this very tiny industrial town near and who are going to save the world because this is the main production home of of this new vaccine for all of europe as they can produce throughout the next year they say within 202-1400 1000000 doses right here behind us and this is what will mostly supply the european market this is also where next week as the. pfizer representative told us this morning and next week early probably on monday and to say the 1st larger shipment of doses off the vaccine will go to the united kingdom because that's the place where 1st approval was being given so it is absolutely a crucial place and this is an area where there is along the historic traditional from a super cool production belgium and that is an interesting fact maybe is the 3rd
12:51 pm
biggest producer in europe and so also another factor of course is this is right in the middle of europe and it has incredible sort of transport links so this is ideal in a way a place nobody ever heard of before poor is near unto are always discussed with. the how well do you know anymore how will the vaccines manufactured there then make their way across europe and the world what's the plan that. all that is perfectly organized ready because they've been months in preparation here we've seen the 1st track roll in and out of the gates here behind us the u.k. refrigerated transports and that is very important here they also developed a part special highly refrigerated containers that have dry ice with inside them and the vaccine will also already put into refrigerated vials so that
12:52 pm
shana for different needs to be kept throughout and then and this is what makes this site so ideal probably you can hear this raging highway which is right on the other side of where we're standing you are within a minute a truck can go from here to the highway can be at the airports having to. within 20 minutes go into a car go there and piece it of up and away within maybe an hour an hour and a half so this is really credible just exchange and all the aspects of that have been worked on and sort of refined throughout month so pfizer says they're quite confident that they can have a really fast and really safe rollout from here but what about safety concerns considering the speed of the whole operation. safety concerns are for the regulators and now we have seen that written is the 1st country to sort of give
12:53 pm
this emergency also rise ation that is a special thing usually you do that when people are sort of mortally ill and there is a new drug and you say ok let's give it to them let's try it out it also means that the risk of the sole operation will not be on fire is about will be on the british state because they have given this emergency also rise ation and the the next weeks short the next weeks the european medicines agency which is now after breaks it based in amsterdam is to check and recheck and cross check all the data that have been given by pfizer throughout the last 2 weeks and they say they will give authorization probably right after christmas maybe some experts say they can be a big quicker and do it before christmas but the difference here is do you trust buy on tech and pfizer enough to say ok we just look at your data and we say go or
12:54 pm
do you say ok we put our experts to it and we just recheck everything before we say go we know that they are those conspiracy theorists and vets in deniers throughout europe and if you sort of give this very quick also rise ation they might just be jumping on it and say look the authorities are not doing their best so the european union is determined to sort of go the regular way and just give it a couple more weeks until the huge production rollout here can begin for the whole european union which probably is also fines isabelle's in science where the vaccine will be produced and then ships to the well thank you barbara. and i think we're coming back to the studio. i'm having some technical issues barbara sorry we have seem to have some technical
12:55 pm
issues here in the studio in your opinion of a company like fines a huge. giant drug making a giant rating why does a company like faiza need a small company though it's a german german company by own take to come up with a vaccine so i think that's why i come into it by itself. this sure really is on the other folks here we have this german start of all this charm in biotech company ah it has been a had a very good reputation for some years now everybody in the field knew that their way of being very innovative now when they felt and they received money to support them from the german government from the european union everybody sort of threw money into the pot to support the very fast and incredible scientific work that had been done at biotech and when this was underway they saw that this was going to be
12:56 pm
so big that they needed a big company who was capable to produce huge amounts of debt this is in very short time and that's why they sort of wonder that was pfizer so that's the story behind that bob is all thank you very much so also thank you very much massimo i think that's all we have time for.
12:57 pm
turning trash into treasure is a massive challenge even if we should know better the amount of electronic waste produced worldwide is greater than ever before what could the solutions look like so we now almost always assume it's a good climate change that's come here pick the householder client also gets 56 points in africa. 30. w.
