An opinion piece by Lene Rachel Andersen OK, so the EU did not order enough vaccines or were not willing to pay the full price, the Danish and the Austrian PMs travelled to Israel to strike a deal outside the EU, the British are getting “our” EU vaccines, the US does not want to share with the EU, and none of the Western and most resourceful countries have started donating vaccines to developing countries so that they can protect their medical and other essential staff.

An analysis by Lene Rachel Andersen After years of the United States dissolving into various political clans and tribes, it seems that President Biden is now trying to pull the country together and to make a coherent nation out of it. The New York Times has a wonderful analysis here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/17/opinion/biden-stimulus-culture-war.html In our model Circles of Belonging, we operate with 10 circles, of which: the first circle is the individual herself, Circle 2 is the family we are born into, Circle 3: peer groups, Circle 4: the familiy we establish ourselves Circle 5: local communities (workplace, house of worship, local

Well, first of all, he would have said it in German, and since I don’t write German well, what Schiller would have said exactly will not appear here. Second, I do not know, of course, what he would have said, but here is a qualified guess: NO! No-no-no-no-no-NOOOO!!!! (OK, I could have written that in German: Nein!
