  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 5 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 5 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 5 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 5 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 5 hours ago

“A week into the fourth dose we know to a higher degree of certainty that the fourth dose is safe. The second piece of news: We know that a week after administration of a fourth dose, we see a five-fold increase in the number of antibodies in the vaccinated person. This most likely means a significant increase against infection and …hospitalization and (severe) symptoms.”

“What we know now of course is that the patients, people who are becoming seriously ill, who are being hospitalised, are those who have not been vaccinated and those who have not had their boosters.”

“Everybody wants to know about the boosters, when it's needed, how often it's going to be needed and so on. There are many factors that can influence this. One is the type of vaccine. We know that each vaccine has a slightly different performance and longer follow up is telling us the efficacy of the vaccines, particularly in preventing severe disease but also in preventing infection. The other big variable of course is, the variants of the virus that we are seeing. And we've seen that different variants have different abilities to be neutralized by the antibodies, or be able to overcome the immune response, like Omicron seems to be doing because of the mutations it has it seems to be pretty good at evading immune responses. The third factor of course is the biology of the individual, the age of the person, how strong the immune system is, whether there are other underlying illnesses which impact the immune system. And therefore when we make recommendations for a course of vaccination, we have to take into consideration all of these factors. There is some data now to show that there is a slippage in the protection due to the different vaccines at about six months or so, particularly for protection from infection, less so for protection from disease; they are still performing at 80%. But with Omicron again, the initial data coming in obviously showing that Omicron is very successfully able to evade immune responses and therefore needs higher levels of antibodies. For now we believe that boosters may be needed for people who have weaker immune systems, the older individuals, the more vulnerable people and whether a third dose of the vaccine is going to be it, or whether they are going to be need for additional vaccines like influenza every year, every couple of years, it's too early to say and we need to really follow the science on that.”

“For those over 65, getting a booster helps cover your bases to make sure you are extra-, extra-protected, because the consequences are higher. It's easy with all the discussion about boosters to lose that really important message that the vaccines are still working. Going from an unvaccinated to a vaccinated person is still the critical step.”
