  • Rina Shah
    Rina Shah “Protests in US universities are a display of democracy in action, a welcome sight in an election year marked by concerns of voter apathy chiefly due to Israel's war on Gaza. So when I see a movement like this of students taking peaceful, non-violent action and expressing their concern about the US government backing of Israel, of where our tax money is going, I think that's extremely healthy. These students are out there concerned about America's role in backing Benjamin Netanyahu. On the one hand, we are supplying weapons and funds to do what he wants to do in Gaza, while on the other we are sending humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is the hypocrisy these students are concerned about.” 3 hours ago
  • Thomas Friedman
    Thomas Friedman “But revenge is not a strategy. It is pure insanity that Israel is now more than six months into this war and the Israeli military leadership - and virtually the entire political class - has allowed Netanyahu to continue to pursue a 'total victory' there, including probably soon plunging deep into Rafah, without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to step in once the war ends. If Israel ends up with an indefinite occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank, it would be a toxic military, economic and moral overstretch that would delight Israel's most dangerous foe, Iran, and repel all its allies in the West and the Arab world.” 4 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Of course, I'm grateful to all of our partners who have helped us with air defence: each air defence system and each air defence missile is literally saving lives. It's important that everything works out as quickly as possible: every new agreement with our partners to strengthen our air defence, every initiative from Ukraine's friends to help us, particularly with finding and supplying Patriot [anti-aircraft missile systems]. Ukraine needs at least seven [Patriot] systems. Our partners have these Patriots. Russian terrorists can see that unfortunately our partners aren't as determined to protect Europe from terror as they are to do so in the Middle East. But [our partners] can give us the air defence systems that we need. We mustn't waste time: we need to signal determination.” 8 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “I saw that Huawei just put out a new laptop that it boasted was AI capable, that uses an Intel chip. I think it demonstrates that what we're focused on is only the most sensitive technology that could pose a threat to our security. We're not focused on cutting off trade, or for that matter containing or holding back China.” 12 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“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.”

“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.”

“It'll be over my dead body that I'll have to get a shot. I will not do that. I won't do it, and they better not touch my kids either. I think if enough of us rise up and say, 'no, enough is enough,' there are more of us than there are of them. There is an empowerment in a group like this where we can kind of feed off each other and really be strong.”

“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.”

“Although two doses of the vaccine may still offer protection against severe disease caused by the Omicron strain, it's clear from these preliminary data that protection is maximised with a third dose of our vaccine. Ensuring as many people as possible are fully vaccinated with the first two dose series and a booster remains the best course of action to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

“Some of my outpatients ask why they should receive the vaccine when it is not 100 percent effective at preventing infections, while some refuse inoculation due to concerns over adverse effects. The government should come up with a plan to alleviate public concern. Rapid administration of booster shots is important in preventing a possible increase in infections that could arise from the period when end-of-year gatherings are numerous.”

“It does not seem appropriate to go onto the next step at this point when the country is facing multiple risks: cold winter weather, the increasing threat of the Delta variant and waning vaccine effectiveness among fully vaccinated people. Due to the drastic relaxation of the social distancing rules, everything seems to have almost completely returned to what it was like before the pandemic already. Though the Living with COVID-19 policies aim to focus more on critically ill patients, the authorities should not undermine the importance of curbing new infections.”

“Quite frankly, some countries are in such a difficult situation now that they're going to find it hard not to put in place restrictive measures at least for a short period of time to reduce the intensity of transmission. Other countries can re-engage with communities around masks, around avoiding crowded spaces, around limiting their contact with others, work from home and many other initiatives and very importantly increasing vaccine coverage in high-risk populations.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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'.”

“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.”

“Mandatory schemes during a crisis will be counterproductive. When people have what we call conspiracy theories or they have misbeliefs or misunderstandings, [such schemes] will only strengthen their opinions.”

“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 WHO [World Health Organization] has said that it needs more data [related to Sputnik V vaccine], and it needs to go back and inspect some production lines where it saw issues early on. Those re-inspections are a multiweek process, with good reason. It's not something that they just gloss over lightly.”

“This long-awaited malaria vaccine [Mosquirix] is a breakthrough for science. This is a vaccine developed in Africa by African scientists and we're very proud. Using this vaccine in addition to existing tools to prevent malaria could save tens of thousands of young lives each year.”

“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.”

“The pandemic has caused a lot of anger and a lot of anxiety. Certain segments of the population are frustrated. But the jury's out on the degree to which the People's Party of Canada eats into the Conservative base. A lot of them [supporters of the People's Party of Canada] are non-voters that are alienated from the political system. Maybe the People's Party is eating into the Conservative vote a little bit now, but whether that continues to be the case as election day approaches really remains to be seen. I thought the Liberals would have been able to kind of ride a vaccine wave, take credit for our mass vaccination and be in better shape than they are now. But we're dealing with a situation where the Canadian public is pretty highly fractured, so the prospects of any party winning a commanding majority, with the electorate as it is today, is unlikely.”
