[Highlights in this issue]Skin care products with “one rub for results” are effective, is it true? The physiological metabolic cycle of the epidermis is generally about 28 days, which means that it takes at least one month to evaluate the effect of using regular skin care products. However, products with added hormones may have strong immediate effects. It can produce rapid whitening and skin rejuvenation effects in a short time, but long-term use will cause skin dark spots, atrophy and thinning. In severe cases, it will cause hormone-dependent dermatitis.

Corona vaccine CVnCoV Bad Intermediate result for CureVac

As of: 06/17/2021 6:42 a.m.

Setback for CureVac: The corona vaccine CVnCoV only showed an effectiveness of 47 percent in the second interim analysis, said the Tübingen-based company. The study is to be continued. CureVac’s corona vaccine candidate CVnCoV missed the statistical targets in a second interim analysis. The Tübingen-based company announced this in a mandatory notification. There it says: “In a previously unprecedented environment with at least 13 variants within the subset of study participants examined in this interim analysis, CVnCoV achieved a preliminary effectiveness of 47 percent against COVID-19 disease of any severity and thus did not meet the specified statistical success criteria.” Initial analyzes have shown that the effectiveness depends on the age group examined and the virus strains, the company continues. The vaccine candidate is in the final stage of clinical development. CEO Franz-Werner Haas announced that one had hoped for stronger results in the interim analysis. But continue the current study until the final analysis.

Actually soon approval is planned

Until the beginning of June it had been said that the company expected – depending on the clinical trial data – the approval of its vaccine candidate in the EU at least for the second quarter. But shortly afterwards it became known that the proceedings would be further delayed.

CureVac, which works with Bayer, had long been considered one of the hopes in the competitive race for approval of the first corona vaccines. But while vaccines have been administered by numerous competitors worldwide for months, the Tübingen-based company is still collecting data – and recently had repeatedly put off shareholders and observers.

Manufacturers deliver less Vaccination campaign could stall

Status: 16.06.2021 2:47 p.m. In Germany there will be fewer BioNTech cans available next month. Johnson & Johnson is also delivering less than planned. The German vaccination campaign could suffer a setback as a result. The vaccine manufacturer BioNTech will deliver significantly less vaccine to Germany in July than in June. Instead of 5.7 million cans for the last week of June, only 3.2 million cans are planned for the first week of July (KW 27). But there could be no question of a surprising cut, said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health. Rather, BioNTech preferred deliveries in June that were actually intended for later. It was always clear that the delivery volume of the Mainz manufacturer in the third quarter would be around 40.2 million vaccination doses lower than the around 50 million in the second quarter. So far there has only been a clear delivery promise for the first week of July with 3.235 million cans. After that, around 3.3 million doses per week can be expected. That was also communicated to the federal states. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach therefore warns of a setback for the vaccination campaign: “If the BioNTech deliveries fall so sharply, it will be difficult to demonstrate herd immunity before mid-September,” he told the “Spiegel”. At the same time, it is shown that the delta variant is highly infectious and sometimes causes severe disease. “That’s scary,” said Lauterbach.

6.5 million fewer doses from Johnson & Johnson

The US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (J&J) will also deliver significantly fewer vaccine doses than planned. The European Commission expects that J&J will not be able to meet its delivery targets to the EU for the second quarter. The reason for this is a decision by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to which 17 million doses of the vaccine cannot be used in the EU for safety reasons after cases of contamination have occurred in a US plant. The group will therefore probably not reach its delivery target of 55 million cans by the end of June, says a commission spokesman. So far, only around twelve million cans have been delivered. The Federal Ministry of Health estimates that J&J will be able to deliver around 6.5 million fewer doses to Germany than planned by the end of June because of the breakdown. “That is unfortunate, because every vaccine counts,” said a spokeswoman. The ministry expects the missing quantity to be replenished in July.

Waiting for Sputnik and Curevac

The Germans will probably have to wait even longer for the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, because, according to government circles, approval will be postponed “probably to September, maybe even to the end of the year”. The reason is that the Russian manufacturer has not yet submitted the necessary clinical trial data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the news agency Reuters learned from government circles. The clinical dossier was supposed to be available by June 10th. The Russian state fund RDIF, which sells Sputnik V, described the information as incorrect. All the necessary data on the clinical studies have been submitted and received positive comments. Initially, no comments were received from the EMA. The vaccine from Curevac is also not yet available. The vaccine from the Tübingen company, once praised as a bearer of hope, is still not approved. The Federal Ministry of Health has therefore canceled the delivery of 1.4 million vaccine doses originally planned for the current second quarter. According to health expert Lauterbach, the delay in approval could indicate that the effectiveness of the Curevac vaccine is not looking good.

Moderna delivers a little more

Meanwhile, there are increasing complaints about the shortage of vaccines – from company doctors, general practitioners and some vaccination centers. The calls from some prime ministers for more vaccine also persist – while millions of Germans are still waiting for an initial vaccination. There is positive news from Moderna: The US manufacturer will increase its delivery volume compared to June, from 622,000 to 733,000 cans per week. In addition, Schleswig-Holstein is giving part of the AstraZeneca vaccine provided by Denmark to Hamburg. Thanks to the delivery, at least 8,000 new appointments can be made in the vaccination center in the megacity since today. The neighboring state does not manage to use the cans from Danish stock in time before the expiry date at the end of June.

Digital consumer protection Vulnerabilities in health apps

As of: 16.06.2021 1:53 p.m.

In the corona pandemic, health apps have gained many users. For some, however, there is a lack of data protection. This was the result of a study by the Federal Office for Information Security. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) found numerous security gaps in an investigation of health apps. According to a BSI report, six out of seven thoroughly tested apps transmitted passwords in clear text to authentication services. None of the apps fully met the security requirements of the BSI guidelines for health apps. The BSI did not provide the names of the apps examined.

Exclusive 03/10/2021

Personal data is not adequately protected

“From the point of view of technical IT security, this result must at least be rated as critical, especially in view of the fact that a significant proportion of the apps process sensitive and particularly sensitive data”, criticized the office for taking care of the data security of the federal government. “Because, according to the findings of the study, this does not adequately protect user data against attacks.” The BSI checked the health apps as part of the first report on digital consumer protection 2020, which, due to the corona pandemic, focused on digital health offers.

background 07/11/2019

damage “first of all manageable”

The BSI expert Nicolas Stöcker described the danger for users of the criticized apps when exploiting the identified loopholes as “first of all manageable”. If an attack took place, it would initially only affect a single person. “It would be worse if the backend, where the data is kept, were also insecure.” The authority has a corresponding further investigation for the future “on the screen”, says Stocker. However, BSI President Arne Schönbohm warned that the deficiencies found were also dangerous: “Every gap that is there, every weak point that is there has somehow been exploited at some point.” They are currently working with the app providers to close the gaps. “If we see that this is not fixed, then we reserve the right to issue a corresponding product warning”said Schönbohm.

Tariff round 2021 The fight for the collective agreement

Status: 15.06.2021 12:43 p.m.

The economy in Germany will recover in 2021 after the slump as a result of the pandemic. The unions are now calling for some significant wage increases. Your goals and the collective bargaining agreements for 2021 at a glance. Falling numbers of new corona infections and the progress made in vaccination will lead to an economic recovery in Germany in 2021. The growing global economy supports the demand for goods “Made in Germany”. At the same time, inflation is rising significantly. With their sometimes high demands, the unions want all the more to ensure that the collective bargaining agreements in 2021 do not result in any real wage losses for employees.

background 06/18/2021

The trade unions and employers naturally assess the scope for wage increases differently in this situation. Collective bargaining is therefore programmed. You can find an overview of the major collective bargaining rounds in 2021 here:

We have not listed special regulations such as one-off payments, profit sharing, wage increases by fixed sums (for all employees regardless of the respective income), vacation, etc. in order to keep the table clearer and comparable.

Transparency International Germans concerned about economic influence

Status: 15.06.2021 09:26 a.m.

Many EU citizens perceive corruption as a major problem – this is evident from the current corruption barometer from Transparency International. Germany too has to do significantly more. From Philipp Eckstein, ARD capital studio Corruption: a problem across the European Union. The perception of the citizens is correspondingly critical. This is how the statements of the corruption barometer from Transparency International can be summarized. Between October and December 2020, more than 40,000 people were interviewed by telephone for the representative survey in the EU. Around a third of them said that they believe that corruption has increased in their country in the past year. The increase in Cyprus was particularly strong at 65 percent.

Corruption scandal in Cyprus

Last year, journalists there discovered that politicians had sold passports to criminals from abroad – probably for a fee. That is one reason why the perception of corruption in Cyprus has deteriorated so significantly, according to Transparency International. Almost two thirds of the EU citizens questioned said in the survey that corruption was a major problem in their government. There are clear differences within the EU.

Big differences between countries

While in Denmark and Finland only twelve and 16 percent perceive a corruption problem in their government, in Bulgaria it is 90 percent and in Croatia even 92 percent. Of the 4800 or so respondents in Germany, 34 percent said corruption was a problem in the federal government. Overall, according to the study, trust in government and politics in Germany is relatively high compared to many other European countries.

03/11/2021

Nevertheless: “We still have a problem with corruption,” says Hartmut Bäumer, Chairman of Transparency Germany. 62 percent of those questioned would say: “The government is essentially controlled in its decisions by large financial interests.” So it follows financially strong interest groups and not the interests of the general public. In addition, more than 38 percent have the perception that the federal government is doing too little against corruption. Taken together, “these are numbers that are really worrying,” said Bäumer, “because they feed those who are critical of the state and our liberal democracy anyway. And that is, so to speak, the breeding ground for everything that changes from lateral thinkers or right or left radicalism developed from. ”

Stricter requirements for lobby registers

The federal government urgently needs to do more to combat corruption and, above all, to ensure more transparency, according to Transparency International, for example through stricter rules for the lobby register. The anti-corruption organization is also calling for corporate criminal law to be introduced. Such measures can regain lost trust.

01/28/2021

This seems to be urgently needed, especially in the business sector. According to the survey, one in three respondents in Germany believe that all or most of the business leaders are involved in corruption. More than half believe companies use money or relationships to get public contracts.

The bricks are carefully tiled and square, but the characters printed on the bricks are not in the correct position as planned. After finishing the tile, the girl’s lower body is printed on the tile in the right position, but the head, neck and middle body are completely deviated. Many netizens fell in love with this unattractive brick grafting method of the workers. When the owner complained, he received the answer: “Well, I’ll do it for you for free, not for any money. Ok yet..” After listening to the workers, the homeowner did not know what to do with this wall. According to the majority of comments, only know how to remove the tiles to re-tile. But this type of tile with a human figure is sometimes “scareful” especially at midnight. “Doing this, but also dare to hire, the landlord certainly does not know the skill of the worker. This worker does it because of passion, no experience” , one person commented. Another said: “This type of brick wall is so scary, waking up at night to see the wall is definitely scary.” Not long ago, netizens shared a picture of a house that was almost completed, but if you look closely, the photo can’t help but be funny. On the front of the house, there are pictures of phoenix and dragon. However, if it is not said that it is a dragon and phoenix, it is difficult for anyone to recognize it. The reason may be that the person who put it on is not technical and inexperienced, so the dragon and phoenix images are not beautiful and distorted. Even netizens “checked” and discovered that the main door of the house was completely deviated. Many people question the construction ability of the mason team. Because usually the door is carefully designed to ensure balance, no one will make such a clear deviation
