1st Minister of Health Lauterbach speaks at the Doctors' Day
The 126th German Doctors’ Day, which begins this Tuesday, will be about, among other things, the well-being of adolescents during the corona pandemic. On the side, Karl Lauterbach wants to comment on monkeypox.
Consequences of the pandemic:
Doctors from all over Germany gather in Bremen for four days to discuss health policy issues.
The speeches at the opening event in the morning will be held by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) and Doctors President Klaus Reinhardt.
One of the main topics of the conference will be how the corona pandemic is affecting children and young people physically and mentally and how negative psychosocial consequences can be cushioned.
In the FAZ, Reinhardt criticized the federal government in advance.
Her corona policy is no better than that of the previous government.
He spoke of "a lurching course" and "confusion".
He called Lauterbach's communication "sometimes quite strange".
Vaccine:
As Pfizer and Biontech announced on Monday, their corona vaccine is also effective and well tolerated for small children.
This is the result of an extensive phase 2/3 study.
It evaluated safety, immunogenicity and efficacy in children aged six months to five years.
"The study data indicate that our vaccine, with the carefully selected, low dosage of three micrograms, is effective enough to offer a high level of protection against the latest Covid 19 variants, even in the youngest," said Biontech boss Ugur Sahin .
Monkeypox:
On the fringes of the Doctors' Day, Lauterbach wants to comment on the procedure after the occurrence of monkeypox in Germany and present concrete recommendations - for example on possible quarantine measures "The worldwide outbreak of monkeypox infections is so unusual that we have to worry whether it will like previous monkeypox outbreaks," he said Monday.
You have to react quickly and hard now to contain a global outbreak.

2. Biden at the Indo-Pacific Summit in Japan
At the end of his trip to Asia, the American President met with the so-called Quad group. It should also be about China.
Working together:
The Quad Group – the leaders of Japan, India, Australia and America – are deliberating on a free and open Indo-Pacific.
The meetings are for closer cooperation.
Even if China is not officially an issue, the Quad group is understood as part of the effort to counter China's claim to power in the region.
"Framework for prosperity":
On Monday, Joe Biden and twelve other countries launched a new economic pact for the Indo-Pacific region, which is also intended to counteract the increasing Chinese influence in the region.
Among other things, it is intended to set standards for fair trade and environmental protection.
Founding members include Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and a number of Southeast Asian countries.
Taiwan is not included because America did not want to irritate China too much.
