  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 13 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 14 hours ago

“With so few cases in Hong Kong, seniors showed a rational hesitancy to the vaccine. When there was no COVID in the community and no expectation there would be COVID, and seniors worried about side effects, you can see why they'd be hesitant. It's basically risky to pursue Zero COVID if you can't be confident that you can deliver Zero COVID.”

“How exactly did the richest country in the world get here? There are a number of reasons, but the primary one is that the United States does not have a free, universal health care system. The lack of a national health insurance program affects everything from vaccine hesitancy to the ability to get a test to how we manage the virus going forward.”

“Fake news has a huge influence on our population, and in Eastern Europe in general. Something we all have in common in this part of Europe is our political history of communism. Under leaders like Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's longtime dictator, who was overthrown and executed in 1989, nobody trusted their neighbors, nobody trusted the authorities, nobody trusted anybody.”

“This wave is far worse than the others - it is like a war. We go into our wards but don't know when we will come out. What makes the surge particularly difficult is that it could have been easily avoided. A few who got shots fell seriously ill but this was because their immune systems had been compromised by treatment for cancer or other illnesses. The only real reason anyone is here is because they did not get vaccinated.”

“Vaccine rejection doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's easier to dismiss hesitancy and conspiracies as unhinged behaviour; it makes us feel less unnerved by displays of unreason from those who we think are, or should be, rational people. Sure, among vaccine-hesitant people are those who are simply stubborn, misanthropic or selfish. But, just as the pandemic exploited the weaknesses of our economic and public health systems, vaccine hesitancy has exposed the weaknesses of states' bond with their citizens. There are no easy answers for how to deal with those who repeat conspiracy theories and falsehoods, but scrutinising the systems that lost their trust is perhaps a good place to start.”
