BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin, Vaccine Priority, Productivity Concerns

BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin stated in an interview that he and his wife had not yet taken the COVID-19 vaccine, citing legal restrictions and priority lists. Sahin explained that company employees were legally barred from participating in their own clinical trials. He emphasized the need to maintain the "functionality" of his team to meet production goals of 1.3 billion doses, which the hosts interpret as a desire to avoid potential side effects that could hinder productivity.
