Any idea why was it removed? I saw many comments criticizing US being downvoted. It is not an baseless story now. There has been statements from German side.
The rate of rule breaking comments was high. The other threads may give an impression, if you show dead comments.
Some are spreading the conspiracy theory that either the broadcasters and news outlets conspired to produced incorrect but matching reports, or that the German government intentionally spreads the lie that the Trump administration tried to secure exclusive access to the vaccine. It seems to me that Trump supporters want to shield his administration from reports that make it look bad.
