Germany fears attacks on vaccination centers +++ COVID
restrictions spark riots in the Netherlands
--- Quote ---
> The German government has warned of suspected attempts to
disrupt the coronavirus vaccination campaign by foreign
intelligence groups as well as conspiracy theorists, according
to a media report. "Several suspected attempts to spy on German
vaccine manufacturers have already become known," newspapers of
the Funke media group quoted the Interior Ministry as saying.
The statement was in response to a Green party inquiry. The
ministry added that the danger of cyberattacks was "classified
as high." The report said facilities for research, production,
and approval of vaccines are considered potential targets for
espionage and sabotage by foreign intelligence services. The
ministry also warned of possible disruptive action by conspiracy
ideologues. Former TV chef turned conspiracy theorist Attila
Hildmann, for instance, wrote on his Telegram channel: "the
syringes in vaccination centers resemble the bombs of the
Dresden bombing," and told his followers that protests are
pointless and that they must instead take targeted action
"against injustice."
>
> Clashes broke out on Sunday in Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Stein,
a small city near the Dutch-Belgium border, over the
introduction of a nationwide curfew to curtail the spread of the
coronavirus. The violence came hours after a group of young
people torched a viral testing center overnight in Urk, a
fishing industry city northeast of the Dutch capital. Security
forces in both cities used water cannon as well as batons,
horses and dogs — and in Eindhoven tear gas — to quell the
protests. Vehicles were also set ablaze and shops plundered near
Eindhoven's main railway station, reported regional broadcaster
Omroep Brabant.
>
> Brazil began distributing the 2 million ready-to-use
AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines a day after they arrived from
India following a major diplomatic effort. Until now, Brazil's
widely criticized vaccine rollout has depended on a shot
developed by China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd in partnership with Sao
Paulo's Butantan Institute. The government also has a deal with
AstraZeneca to locally produce up to 100 million doses, but the
delivery of the active ingredient needed to manufacture them has
been plagued by delays from China. Meanwhile, support for
President Jair Bolsonaro has fallen sharply, a Datafolha poll
shows, amid a brutal second wave and a lack of vaccines. With
more than 216,000 fatalities, Brazil has the world's
second-deadliest coronavirus outbreak.

Did AstraZeneca mislead the European Union?
--- Quote ---
> The European Union's heath commissioner has said AstraZeneca's
delay in delivering COVID-19 vaccines is "not acceptable." The
EU paid €336 million for guaranteed orders and is angry the
company is delivering elsewhere.
>
> EU officials have claimed the contractual right to access
company accounts to verify production and delivery numbers.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is reported
to have spoken with AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot before
Monday's meeting to remind him of his company's commitments. A
spokesperson for the company said Soriot assured von der Leyen
that AstraZeneca was doing all it could to deliver the vaccine.
>
> Last August, the EU made an upfront payment of €336 million
($409 million) to the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company — the
bloc's first COVID-19 vaccine deal — in order to expand
production and secure 300 million doses of the drug developed by
AstraZeneca and Oxford University. EU officials speaking with
Reuters news agency last week said the bloc could expect a 61%
cut to its order, meaning it may only receive as few as 31
million doses. AstraZeneca has said "initial volumes will be
lower than originally anticipated due to reduced yields at a
manufacturing site within our EU supply chain."

Bill Gates Warns The "Next Pandemic" Is Coming After Covid-19 -
And How To Stop It
--- Quote ---
> Bill Gates famously warned about the risk of a pandemic in
2015, and in 2021 he offers ideas on vaccines and preparing for
the next pandemic. Gates stresses that spending in advance is
actually quite a “bargain” compared to the cost of reacting to a
pandemic once it ravages the world and cripples the economy.
Gates also discusses tech regulations, attacks on him and Dr.
Fauci, systemic racism, tax policy and his reaction to being
cited in so many rap songs, in this debut of The Summit Series,
a collection of in-depth interviews with leaders at the summit
of their fields by MSNBC’s Ari Melber.
