IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 17 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 17 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 18 hours ago

“If we see that omicron cases [in Western countries] are generally mild, we need to remember that those are countries where most older people are vaccinated. I certainly wouldn't assume that everything will pass as easily here.”

“We must never lose sight of the fact that most of the problems we have today are because there are non-vaccinated people. For the umpteenth time, I invite all those Italians who are not yet vaccinated to do so, and to get the third shot.”

“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.”

“All of us have a date with omicron. If you're going to interact with society, if you're going to have any type of life, omicron will be something you encounter, and the best way you can encounter this is to be fully vaccinated.”

“A booster jab will pump up your protection to 70-75% and it will also reduce your risk of a severe infection but that could also lend you a false sense of security. While it is important to get the unvaccinated vaccinated, first jabs would not be enough to fight off omicron. It takes many weeks for the immune system to develop a defense. The virus moves faster than that.”

“Besides the toll of suffering and death which will inevitably go up if in fact we have that convergence in the winter months of flu and omicron and delta, we could get our hospital systems overwhelmed. With omicron breathing down our back, things could get really bad, particularly for the unvaccinated. The vaccinated and those who are boosted I believe will be relatively well protected, at least against severe disease.”

“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.”

“This variant is a cause for concern, not a cause for panic. If you are vaccinated, but still worried about the new variant, get your booster. If you aren't vaccinated, get that shot. Go get that first shot. We'll fight this variant with scientific and knowledgeable actions and speed, not chaos and confusion. The point of the [travel] restriction is to give us time to get people vaccinated.”

“In the absence of mass vaccination, Covid is not only spreading uninhibited among unprotected people but is mutating, with new variants emerging out of the poorest countries and now threatening to unleash themselves on even fully vaccinated people in the richest countries of the world.”

“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.”

“By the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany ... will have been vaccinated, recovered or died. With the highly contagious delta variant this is very, very likely and that's why we are recommending vaccination so urgently.”

“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.”

“The majority of ICU patients in grave condition are unvaccinated. These illnesses could have been very easily avoided if a person had been vaccinated. Those statistics [record 1,015 fatalities reported Tuesday October 19th 2021] are directly linked to vaccinations. The countries with a high share of those vaccinated don't have such bad mortality numbers.”

“Out of 400,000 drivers, we estimate that 30% do not have the green pass. On top of that, we fear for the foreign workers, many of whom have been vaccinated with Sputnik or other vaccines not approved by the European or Italian medicines agencies. We therefore foresee a risk of severe blockage in the sector.”

“If you haven't gotten your shots yet but want to travel this winter, let's be clear: there will only be a few, extremely narrow exceptions, like a valid medical condition. For the vast, vast majority of people, the rules are very simple: to travel, you've got to be vaccinated. When it comes to keeping you and your family safe, when it comes to avoiding lockdowns for everyone, this is no time for half measures.”

“Oh, absolutely not. That's such a false narrative that someone says, 'Well now you have a drug.' Remember, the easiest way to stay out of the hospital, and not die, is don't get infected. I mean this idea about 'We have a drug, don't get vaccinated,' just doesn't make any sense.”
