Yeah, so there is an unsubstantiated german government source and then the very next sentence the company denies it themselves:
>CureVac issued a statement on Sunday, in which it said: “The company rejects current rumors of an acquisition”.
Finally they give a quote from a US rep:
> The U.S. government has spoken with many (more than 25) companies that claim they can help with a vaccine. Most of these companies already received seed funding from U.S. investors... any solution found would be shared with the world
The company CureVac only denied rumours that it will be bought, it did nor deny claims that the Trump administration approached them and tried to buy exclusive access to the vaccine.
