Commission head reassures leaders she will ban vaccines leaving EU if suppliers fail to deliver again Ursula von der Leyen has reassured EU leaders she will ban coronavirus vaccines from leaving the EU if suppliers such as AstraZeneca fail to deliver again, as she faced questions over her handling of shortages. 

The European commission president’s pledge at a virtual summit came as leaders issued a statement promising to “accelerate the provision of vaccines”, with just 8% of the adult population having received a jab compared with 27% in the UK. 


WNU Editor: She is feeling the heat .... EU leaders feel the pressure over handling of coronavirus pandemic (Politico).

She has to fail. She is a failed politician of a failed system built upon failed systems. If you believe that a failed politician can fail up or fail up in a failed system, then you can believe a failed system could spawn a supra failed system. All very much Alice in Wonderland or Catch 22. Or maybe is makes as much sense as a sabertooth.

Ursula von der Leyen went from Minister Women and Children to Minister Defense to her current gig.

By what metric did she succeed as defense minister? Operational Availability of key platforms (panes, helicopters, ships)?

By what metric did she succeed as minister of women and children? Is is safer for women and children to leave home alone than before she was minister? Putting a roof over people's head and feeding them corn starch is not the end all be all. Pigs and other livestock get that.

"The activities of the Ministry were highlighted in media coverage in 2007 when the contents of one of the leaflets it distributed was claimed to encourage sexual massage between parents and their children"

Does the ministry of Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth strike you as weird?

Maybe there was a big imbalance between men and women. Perhaps it was due to a war. Perhaps The Bavarian Corporal should have read up on Paraguay. Maybe Hari would know. Paraguay is the sickman of Latin America. It lost a lot of men.

"After the war, an 1871 census recorded 221,079 inhabitants, of which 106,254 were women, 28,746 were men ..."

Germany lost a lot of men during WW2. Now look at it. Germany did not get autonomy until the 1950's and that is when that new ministry was made. And there was a need for something.
There were a lot of households without men.

Now they are not warmongers, they are just fvcked up in a different way now.

The ministry is similar to and overlaps HHS in the US. The emphasis on women is pathetic given the governance of corporate boards in Germany. Almost like they will never take off the training wheels becuase they can't or they do not want to give up unearned power.

They constantly have to rebrand and come up with a new schtick.

Maybe they should tryout for the Liberal Olympics and go for a double back salto tucked with two full twists (720°) ending with an ankle grab and a smile.

From

Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth

Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, Youth, Jihadists and Refugees.

Typical government failures, then they compound the problems with more government failures and go more authoritarian by deciding to confiscate something that doesn't belong to them because they suck at governing. Typical socialism.

I too hate socialism and that is why I will not take any money from the govt for what happened in my city in Texas.
