All vaccines aim to stimulate the bodies immune system to generate antibodies and T cells that will kill any corona virus that gets into the body. This one is unusual as it uses part of the genetic RNA to do that, usually you can be given a live virus that has been made less virulent, or a killed virus. It’s trial and error to see what works.
This one poses logistic issues as it has to be stored in a deep freeze at -80 deg C so that will be a challenge for transportation and distribution to those injecting it.
I heard that the 90% success related to around 90 patients. So it needs more work.
I think the brains behind this is in BioNtech the German company with Pfizer having the manufacturing and testing capacity. It was a deliberate action not serendipitous.
interesting reading Colner....thanks for the info - saves me looking at the latest Gov updates !

....am sure you'll be first in line for the jab...or did you apply to be a guinea pig ?.....must say, I will be a little concerned for you, with those billions paid out by big pharma for all those Serious side effects...and then those nasty reactions of mixing the chemical cocktails, already on something ?....but haven't the big pharma's been given indemnity ?....thats' good for "them" - imagine that bill if things go pear shaped, - and when you think, is thought necessary that clinical trials should run to about 5+ years, and if it passed muster... you'd need that again before it could be properly distributed - clinical trial after clinical trial after clinical trial...Slowly increasing the strength - then If successful, there's the registration, then the licensing - pre-clincical to launch etc....takes Years of work...but, even then, can all amount to nothing - as we know, vaccine success is only around the 20% mark.... .
Thankfully, we have the Govs own Chris Whitty to settle the fear... that other than a very small minority, this bug is much ado about nothing, so doubt the large majority will need a jab, though as we know, folk regularly take more than they...need.
