  • CureVac crashes after crucial COVID-19 vaccine trial disappoints

    CureVac shares fell by as much as 52% on Thursday after the German biotech's COVID-19 vaccine proved only 47% effective in an initial trial, denting investor confidence in its ability to take on established rivals. The disappointing efficacy of the shot known as CVnCoV emerged from an interim analysis in a study of about 40,000 volunteers in Europe and Latin America, with CureVac saying on Wednesday that new variants had proved a headwind. Late-stage trials of BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which like CureVac's are based on mRNA technology, had efficacy rates of well above 90% but took place when the original version of the coronavirus was dominant.

    U.S. cattle ranchers and investors are sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into new beef plants after temporary closures of massive slaughterhouses at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic left farmers with nowhere to send animals destined to be turned into meat. A cyberattack against the U.S. unit of Brazilian meatpacking giant JBS SA that idled nearly a quarter of America's beef production earlier this month again highlighted vulnerabilities in the country's meat supply chain and caused more headaches for farmers. Ranchers, as well as the U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA), say the sector is too consolidated and therefore reliant on a handful of large processors and their industrial meatpacking plants.
