This is getting really old. If I were single, I would have departed at least a year ago.
To answer your question, I think they know. I think that have known for a long time. They are fanatical about masking because it is the “rule’. Or so they say. It is or at least has been the “rule” that we are not to cross prefectural lines to enter or depart Tokyo. Yet the same yahoos who throw a fit about me not following the masking rule in Tokyo do not care a damn that I, and they for that matter, crossed a border to enter Tokyo in the first place. They only care about the rules that are easy to see who is and is not following.
For the clot shot, with various employers, event organizers and hotels and tours either requiring proof of vaccination or test results to participate or offering discounts to those who can provide such proofs, many are getting them. I think that many get the shot just to be able to continue with as normal of a life as possible and not really caring what the shot may actually accomplish.
But then again, many do believe in them. 2 out of a class of 7 got covid during the summer despite being vaccinated. Including myself, 2 out of 8 people. That is 25% of just this small group, the majority of whom are young women aged 18 to 21. When I ask if they still believe the vaccine works, they start laughing. “There goes our crazy teacher saying that vaccines don’t work.”
As with every population, you have the believers and the nonbelievers. Another student is a 29n year old Japanese female. She caught covid twice. The first time was before there were any vaccines available anywhere in the world. She said it was not as bad as the flu as while Ashe did I have a high fever and bad headache for 3 days, the last 7 of her isolation were great. She got caught up on her Netflicks shows without interruption. Said she wanted to catch covid again! Her wish can true earlier this year. Despite have covid in 2020 and being double vaxxed, she caught it again. She very enthusiastically claims that the shots, masks, hand sanitizer, spraying and wiping all surfaces with sanitizer, temperature checks, social distancing and plastic barriers are meaningless. Incidentally, she just returned from a week long business trip to the US. She was amazed that no one was wearing masks nor doing anything other than sanitizing their hands there. She was also shocked that prices in the US were now 4 to 5v times higher than in Tokyo.
Like you, I'd love to leave this country, but I have a wife and two kids... I guess I will have to battle against depression for at least one more year (good thing I went back to the gym !).
I am very tired of this country and its people... very tired...
I am still working on a project to leave this place, but for that too work the US has to lift its jabs mandate for foreign entries...
Will see what happens.
For now, I am no longer talking about covid with anyone here : it's just like talking to robots... too much brainwashing.
My window for leaving has closed. I no longer earn enough to contribute financially to my family here and have earned less than my bills long enough that I can no longer award a ticket back “home”.
It has been a long while since I have talked with most anyone about anything. Can’t understand them through their mask and too many are afraid of me as I am unmasked.
Wife works for the PF, so you guess how conversations go at home.
Thanks, Guy. For a long time, Japan's connectivity to the New World Order coup was a mystery to me. Then I read Patrick M. Wood's, 'Technology: The Hard Road to World Order' and came to understand that the nexus has been cultivated for close to 50 years via the Trilateral Commission, of which Japan is a cornerstone member, along with the United States and most of Europe. For me, this explained a lot.
Have you considered that they are deliberately whacking older people, not just the Japs? That mens rea has a bonus of prolonging the scams.
The Brits did that at the start of the scamdemic by whacking the elderly with that med which begins with "Midza..." Note the same aim with the blue States in USA by sending c19 infected people to do the job.

I am similarly situated. Have a wife and one kid.

Oh, the irony of the Japs being leery of gaijins! Who is more of a gangster gaijin than that horny nerd, Bill??!
Do the Japs know that China DOESN'T use mRNA vaccines?!
Nope. The population is totally misinformed about the rest of the world.
"Misinformed" - ahso....
The hive minds of the Japs; and Asians generally.
Who are the lesser informed: the Japs or the Yanks?
33% of Americans got a booster compared with 65% of Japanese. I think that answers your question.
We are even better than the Japs!

There are some old Aussies who had FIVE! I saw that via the death stats.
Elite Japanese and their family are not touching the jabs.
Ditto everywhere.
The Japanese - most of them - don't know anything...
"The XXXX - most of them - don't know anything..".
