I'll go with bee-on-tek.

It appears to be by-on-tek.

I'll go with bee-on-tek.

I've heard both pronunciations on UK news broadcasts.

Amigos notwithstanding, it would surprise me to hear an American say "bee-on-tek".

It's not worth disagreeing about. Let bygones be bygones and BioNs be BioNs.

Let’s hear directly from the CEO of BioNTech.

The "bee" pronunciation is natural for a German-speaker. It wouldn't come naturally to most Americans.

It reminds me of the story about Yehudi Menuhin. When asked by a New York reporter what was the correct pronunciation of his surname he replied with something like "I don't know. It doesn't matter to me. Pronounce it any way you like."
