shifting patterns / signals in Hungary?

Das Heartland Institute betreibt seit Dezember eine Niederlassung in London, u.a. mit Unterstäützung von Nigel Farage. Das Institut arbeitet eng mit radikalen Rechtsparteien zusammen. Es sieht den aktuellen Rollback in der Klimapolitik auch als eigenen Erfolg. Zu seinen Wegbereitern in Europa gehörten die FPÖ-Politiker Harald Vilimsky und Roman Haider.

ce disinformation campaigns around vaccines?

In an article published on March 7, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) accused the Russian intelligence services of trying to undermine faith in the efficacy of Pfizer-BioNTech and other Western vaccines with false information, such as that the US government had pressured the licenser authority - do you know the accusation? – that vaccines are not sufficiently effective and have too many side effects. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the accusations:

If we were to attribute all criticism of the Sputnik V vaccine to the American secret services, we would be crazy, since such criticisms appear in all Anglo-Saxon media at all hours of the day.

According to a US State Department official, articles disguised as science target countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and the publications are under the influence of the SSR, Russia's foreign intelligence service. The publication New Eastern Outlook has been accused of calling the mRNA editing used by Pfizer a "radical experimental technique" that is not precise enough and claiming that the regulatory approval process was controlled by Bill Gates and the president's chief adviser , Anthony Fauci urged and pushed through. According to them, only hymns should be sung about the mRNA technology, which has never been used for vaccine production before, otherwise one will become a Russian agent. While Trump was president, the American papers were full of him being politicallicensing authorities are under pressure . Under Biden, this should no longer be raised.

According to the WSJ, one of the publications, News Front, is the tool of the FSZB, the successor of the KGB. In January, for example, an article was published stating that people vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine can develop Bell's paresis - facial nerve paralysis - and in February they wrote about a Californian man who became infected with the coronavirus after being vaccinated with Pfizer. I did a bit of research: a combined search for Bell's palsy and Moderna gives two hundred and fifty-five thousand results on the Internet, including the prestigious medical journal The Lancet or the announcements of the American epidemiological authority. It occurs very rarely, seven times out of forty thousand vaccinated, which is exactly seven times that of the control group. The case in California also happened .In these examples, coverage was simply classified as intelligence disinformation.

On March 12, however, the Russians came forward with the claim that the Americans were organizing a disinformation campaign against Sputnik V. Perhaps this is related to the fact that Free Europe, which operates with American money, already called the Russian vaccine controversial on March 11 .

Many are concerned that the Russian development program was not transparent enough. Additional concerns are that the European Medicines Agency has not yet approved the vaccine, possible production disruptions, and the fact that the Russians themselves are quite distrustful of Sputnik V.

Der ungarische Präsident Orbán und der serbische Präsident Vučić arbeiten gemeinsam mit dem bosnischen Serbenführer Dodić aktiv daran, die Abhängigkeit ihrer Gebiete und weiterer Teile Südosteuropas von russischen Gaslieferungen zu vergrößern. Mit dieser aktiven Anti-EU-Politik festigen sie ihre autoritären Regime. Analyse von Adelheid Wölffl im Standard.

Are they really the ones pushing the progress and innovating, or are they benefiting from filtering out only the highest level potential producers and simply supporting them?

Would we get more overall benefit from raising the level of the ocean so that all boats rise instead of a select few?

Another example, how was Hungary able to produce so many Nobel Prize winners?
