Compare this what Pfizer stated when the US "pre-ordered" the vaccine:
That's how it normally sounds, but now Pfizer claims it was never part of Operation Warp Speed. The only reasonable explanation is that they don't want to be associated with Trump.“Expanding Operation Warp Speed’s diverse portfolio by adding a vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech increases the odds that we will have a safe, effective vaccine as soon as the end of this year,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “Depending on success in clinical trials, today’s agreement will enable the delivery of approximately 100 million doses of this vaccine to the American people.”

So the German govt gave them money to expand the plants in Puurs, Belgium and in Kalamazoo, Michigan?
(There are also additional plants in the US mainly for "parts" and possibly in Europe, and those sites are not just speculation but also what their CEO says.)
So, do you have any evidence for the German govt funding that? (They might have funded something for BioNTech Societas Europaea.)
