Paul Brandenburg wrote that lung plague is a bacterial infectious disease known for a long time and is now well treatable and curable with antibiotics.

Chicago Boy recalled that at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, France found itself without masks and that the Macronist government had subsequently promised to replenish the state’s stocks. Relying on information he claimed to have received from an industry executive, he stated that the state had given up on renewing these stocks to save money and was leaving hospitals to fend for themselves. He estimated that the country would thus remain without sufficient reserves in case of a new pandemic and blamed the state for saving money at the expense of what is essential. #Covid19 #Santé #État (translated)

David Lisnard believes that the SCAF and MGCS programs, launched in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel to develop the future combat aircraft and tank, are strategic and industrial dead ends. He criticized French leaders for prioritizing Franco-German cooperation without first verifying the convergence of military interests, technological mastery, and the distribution of industrial responsibilities. According to him, a high-level Franco-German seminar held on October 7 would have revealed a different method: starting from the needs of the armed forces and industrial interests, then allowing companies to build viable cooperations before giving them, if necessary, a political translation. Lisnard stated that during the negotiations on the MGCS, Germany was preparing for the succession of the Leopard 2, notably with the Leopard 3 project, and that the delay created a military vulnerability. He called for a break with a conception of European defense that, according to him, confuses cooperation with the dilution of sovereignties. He advocated for a distribution of roles in which the political power sets ambitions and means, the armed forces define their needs, and the industries develop solutions and partnerships. Lisnard also urged for the immediate preparation of the renewal of French ground combat capabilities, beyond the simple replacement of the Leclerc, notably by integrating armored vehicles, drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, and data management. He estimated that this required investments in industry, a recovery of public finances, and a more efficient use of military credits. Finally, he accused the current government of having caused France to lose valuable years and argued that the issue concerned its ability to prepare for future conflicts, ensure the security of the French people, and defend the nation. #Défense #Souveraineté #Coopération (translated)

Plain text from Muc wrote that the AfD and the BSW had agreed to establish an investigative committee on Corona policy in the new state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt. This committee is intended to investigate political decision-making processes, interventions in fundamental rights, as well as the consequences of lockdowns, school closures, 2G rules, and vaccination policy. The author referred to a campaign promise of the AfD to hold accountable those responsible for what they see as wrongdoing. Unlike the expert commission set up by the current state government in 2025, an investigative committee can request files, hear witnesses, and examine governmental decisions in a parliamentary manner, he wrote. In his view, the topic should serve as a model for state parliaments in Germany; he also mentioned illegal migration as another possible topic. At the same time, he wrote that the political system was alarmed due to the plans and expressed disdain for Pistorius. He mentioned Klöckner in a hashtag. https://t.co/pGuYPq99Xe #Demokratie #SachsenAnhalt #Kotzen #Rausch #Klöckner #Demokratie #SachsenAnhalt #CoronaUntersuchungsausschuss (translated)

"China hasn't said much, and Russia isn't saying much either. But they say they have the situation well under control." When asked if he currently has the same impression of Russia as he did at the beginning of the Corona pandemic from China, Trump said: "China hasn't said much, and Russia isn't saying much either. But they say they have the situation well under control." #Lungenpest #Russland #WHO (translated)

"No one can remain indifferent to their fears. They were children or at the beginning of their youth during the Corona pandemic, we demanded significant efforts from them, and since then they have seen wars, climate change, and sometimes their loved ones in distress." In the evening, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu promised the protesting students better learning conditions but did not foresee any additional financial aid in the education sector. #Schülerproteste #Bildung #Frankreich (translated)
