  • Connor Fiddler
    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 2 hours ago
  • Chen Jining
    Chen Jining “Whether China and the U.S. choose cooperation or confrontation, it affects the well-being of both peoples, of both nations, and also the future of humanity.” 5 hours ago
  • Xi Jinping
    Xi Jinping “I proposed mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation to be the three overarching principles. They are both lessons learned from the past and a guide for the future.” 5 hours ago
  • Xie Tao
    Xie Tao “China knows that it likely has little room to sway the United States on trade. The Chinese government seems to be putting its focus on people-to-people exchanges. The Chinese government is really investing a lot of energy in shaping the future generation of Americans' view of China.” 5 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “The United States has adopted an endless stream of measures to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology. This is not fair competition but containment, and is not removing risks but creating risks.” 5 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China alone is producing more than 100 percent of global demand for products like solar panels and electric vehicles, and was responsible for one-third of global production but only one-tenth of global demand. This is a movie that we've seen before, and we know how it ends. With American businesses shuttered and American jobs lost.” 5 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Russia would struggle to sustain its assault on Ukraine without China's support. I made clear that if China does not address this problem, we will.” 5 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “No, Mr Netanyahu. It is not anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 - 70 percent of whom are women and children.” 6 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 23 hours ago

“The question is: is this going to be like influenza - against which an annual vaccine is recommended - or is it going to be like measles? - which requires only two doses for life-long protection. That's where many of us disagree.”

“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.”

“Getting vaccines to those who need them most must be a priority for every single government - not just some. If we don't, we will continue to see the virus change and threaten us in ways that will bring us closer to the beginning rather than closer to the end.”

“We're now at a point of having more than a billion doses a month of vaccines being produced, but it's a slow trickle still to get to low-income countries and lower middle-income countries. So we have not solved the supply challenge by any means, but we are closer to solving it than we ever have been. Looking forward to 2022 I think the entire game is really going to be about vaccination. So how do we get from airports to arms? How do we convert vaccines to vaccinations? I think we are woefully under-resourced and under-prepared for that … There's good progress to build from but much, much more work to do and financing gaps in the billions if not tens of billions of dollars.”

“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.”

“If you're asking me what my personal position is, two or three years ago, I would never have thought to witness what we see right now that we have this horrible pandemic. We have the vaccines, the life-saving vaccines, but they are not being used adequately everywhere. And this costs … This is an enormous health cost coming along. If you look at the numbers, we have now 77% of the adults in the European Union vaccinated or if you take the whole population, it's 66%. And this means one-third of the European population is not vaccinated. These are 150 million people. This is a lot, and not each and every one can be vaccinated - children, for example, or people with special medical conditions - but the vast majority could and therefore, I think it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union, this needs discussion. This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be met.”

“The efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines for the elderly has been reduced due to the emergence of the more virulent and aggressive Delta variant. Neither the government nor medical experts expected critical cases to increase so quickly.”

“In many countries and communities, we are concerned about a false sense of security that vaccines have ended the pandemic, and that people who are vaccinated do not need to take any other precautions. Vaccines save lives, but they do not fully prevent transmission.”

“It's hard to know what's coming next with this virus. We thought we knew, but delta really surprised us. We thought the vaccine would help end this, but things are still dragging on. It's hard to know what's going to happen next.”

“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.”

“The main objective of the Covid vaccine is to prevent severe disease and death, and they are still doing a good job at that. With true declines in vaccine effectiveness, we'll likely see more cases overall.”

“I think about sleepless nights when we get a huge number of patients who didn't even bother to use banal protective means. Patients who have gotten the vaccine usually don't have serious symptoms while the unvaccinated come to regret it. Patients who survive after a grave course of illness tell us when they are discharged, 'Doctor, you were right and I will tell everyone that it's necessary to get the vaccine'.”

“Vaccines can reduce the transmission of the virus, its severe complications, and its death rate, though it will continue to mutate and linger. However it could pose less danger over time and become something more akin to a seasonal flu. Humans must eventually learn to live with the COVID-19 virus.”

“Mandates do work. I want to emphasise here that nobody's talking about forced vaccinations. It's that if you want to be a healthcare provider, you need to get a vaccine. If you want to work in a classroom full of unvaccinated children, you need to get the vaccine. The point isn't to be punitive. It's about keeping society safe.”

“There is a very clear connection between human rights and mandatory vaccinations. It is 100 percent a human rights issue related to the right to privacy and the right to bodily integrity. Human rights protect our bodies and our ability to be the masters of our bodies. The consequence of this is our ability to determine our medical treatments. But this right is not absolute. Governments can interfere with it if they can justify such interference as necessary for and proportionate to the achievement of another valuable goal.”

“The United States is buying another half a billion doses of Pfizer to donate to low- and middle-income countries around the world. We're not going to solve this crisis with half measures or middle-of-the-road ambitions. We need to go big. And we need to do our part - governments, the private sector, civil society leaders, philanthropists.”
