You know how they refer to the Pfizer vaccine as the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine because the later actually developed it?

Well, your mind is going to be totally blown when you find out where they're based.

The trend in pharma has been to HQ in the USA for tax reasons and access to capital, but a lot of the research still happens in the EU

I have many friends who work in biotech and tech, most of the research is done in USA. Only minor research is done in EU. Same with tech.
