The higher the bar/level of RAISING STANDARDS, WARNINGS, INCREASING PROTECTION AND AVOIDING DANGEROUS HEALTH/DISEASE PROBLEMS amongst consumers BY PROTECTING THEM from unhealthy food substances, the better for the collective health, weight, positive economic wealth, lower taxes to support unhealthy eating/drinking habits, lower insurance and health care costs, of which unhealthy causes most diseases and lowering of the potential for cardiac, cancer, and other auto-immune diseases, THE BETTER. Hop Schweiz! There are too many hidden contents/weights/percentages/definitions,and clear nomenclature of dangerous contents with their proven or potential defects, challenges and disease-causing affects on human lives, that are consumed every day by unsuspecting, innocent, naive and inarticulate children, adults and pensioners, every day.

Comment on 18 percent of Long Covid patients in Switzerland still sick after two years by Le News

In reply to anon.

The patients in the study were infected with Covid before effective vaccines were available and so were not vaccinated before infection. Whether they were vaccinated after infection is not mentioned in the study. In any case vaccines are aimed at triggering the immune system ahead of infection rather than as a follow up treatment (although there may be therapeutic effects), and there is evidence that vaccines reduce the incidence of Long Covid if taken before infection. See here for example: https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000385 Here’s another study that suggests vaccines reduce the incidence and severity of Long Covid: https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000470

Comment on Swiss fact: 44 Swiss municipalities have changed their official language since 1950 by James Grogan

I hate to read about those people preferring French over German. I think that’s a big mistake because Germany is a much more important country than France.

Comment on Switzerland needs to be able to recharge 2.8 million vehicles by Mark W.

Switzerland will need an extra 7.1 TWh of clean carbon-free electricity to power electric vehicles. This could easily be provided by a 1000 MW nuclear power plant (the size of NPP Gösgen).

Comment on FILM: BEAU IS AFRAID – I have never seen a film so sick and despicable by Neptune

In reply to Mona.

Dear Reader(s),

No need to doubt my honesty about the films I see. (I view one to two films every morning at the press screenings). I was honest with you in my review about BEAU – that I had to leave it at a certain point to save my own sanity. You might very well get a thrill out of it, for we each go to a film with our own personal baggage, our own taste.
And I did not tell you to stay away – I simply suggested other films that have quality and depth, without destructive effects. I do believe films have the power to influence the viewer, both negatively and positively. I have tremendous respect for the art of cinema – the scenario, direction, acting, cinematography, theme, etc. I give my opinion on them, it is up to you to choose.

Couldn’t agree more!

Also, great art has always pushed boundaries and challenged common sensibilities. So I reject the proposition that depiction of depravity on screen means the director is depraved.
It’s possible that the film is truly abysmal, but to judge that a critic should watch the whole film.
And a critic should have a stronger stomach than what seems to be the case here.

So you watched less than 25% of the film but think you can write a review on it and tell others to stay away from it? What a disservice to your readers.

Now I have to wonder if you’ve actually watched most of the films you review.
