spring in our chief political correspondent linda crane here melinda there was a massive pressure on german political leaders at this vaccine summit to deliver more than just words did they. show you know one german newspaper is calling this the placebo summit but i think that's rather a placebo has no effective ingredient and at this summit a very effective ingredient was produced and exchanged namely more facts and more information it was clear from what we heard in the press conference that the politicians at both federal and state level had not fully understood the complexities of the supply chains of the pharmaceutical firms some of which took part in the summit it was also clear that the federal government hadn't fully understood and the states need for more reliable information for a planning purposes even if that information includes the fact that vaccine quantities in this part of the year until the 2nd quarter will be lower than many politicians had hoped so what we saw at the end was the politicians coming together to say that they understand now what the supply situation
