Celebrate progress. Maybe parades and fireworks are outdated now, but where, for instance, is the acclaim given to the BioNTech founders? Why aren’t they cultural heroes on the level of Jonas Salk?
You do have German mainstream newspapers writing stories like “In zehn Monaten zum Superhelden” (In ten months to superhero) with a picture of Ugur Sahin who funded BioNTech
Great! Merkel made a good statement also. But the praise should be coming from world leaders everywhere.
I would expect US leaders to focus more praise US scientists and German leaders putting more praise on German scientists.
It’s not random that all the schools that are named after Jonas Salk are in the US (and I wouldn’t have recognized the name).
