After three booster campaigns in 2022, the Japanese are now in a league of their own among mRNA consuming countries, administering far more boosters than countries that had far more coercive vax campaigns. Japanese over 65 have done their best to reduce Japan’s
A friend contracted the dreaded Kraken variant (what's next, Godzilla?) at New Year's. Symptoms were mild (but he still tested) and he was prescribed Paxlovid, resulting in stomach discomfort far worse than the Cthylla head cold. People would rather risk injury from new drugs than suffer the annoyance of a cold with a scary name.
I am not surprised. It is not the coof that is killing these people. I think we all know what it is. I did my best to persuade people not to get the hokey pokey and I was successful with some. Perhaps I could have done more.
The problem is "educated" people methinks. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the neuroscientist, once claimed that "brilliant" people can be a problem because they don't think they have to work hard (my paraphrase). Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an example of this. Recently, he has become painful to listen to. Not as painful as listening to these coof stories.
We are own our own. Looks like I have to become my own medical adviser.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm certain that Japan has many World class scientists & engineers. For all I know, doctors as well.
But odd to see a country so enthused by experimental gene therapy "vaccines" produced by Big Pharma outfits (like Pfizer, with their record of being fined $2.3 Billion for mis-marketing Bextra in 2009), that the old are on their 5th jab and 6 month babies now jabbed; but the same country that rigorously bans Vicks Inhalers as potential defiler of Youth? Seriously?
Of course, Japanese doctors and academics are likely no more heroic, no more careless of getting fined or ostracised or fired, that their counterparts in the West. And Japanese culture doesn't encourage routinely challenging authority.
But someone will sooner or later have to answer for this Global monumental policy failure. OK, I doubt it will be the people really responsible (Fauci, Collins, Ferguson, Farrar, Shi Zhengli, [add your favourite "expert" here]) will get away, smelling of roses, but someone must be found as a scapegoat.
It is no good insisting, as our Genius Politicians routinely say: - "Follow The Science™.
As the great scientist & communicator Richard P. Feynman pointed out: “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. When someone says 'science teaches such and such', he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn't teach it; experience teaches it” (The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, p. 187).
Slightly off topic (well, very off topic) but if masks work to some reasonable degree and the Chinese are still wearing masks all the time how come everyone there is catching Covid?
You can see the gravy train in action where I am. In the last month two new PCR clinics have opened up advertising 'free' tests. Why are they needed now?
Experts can be extremely thick when their jobs depend on it. But it's pretty simple - Japan has the highest ratio of oldies on the planet and they are susceptible to dying from anything, including overvaccination. Anyway, all very convenient for the completely broke Japanese government.
Perhaps the experts are wearing their masks over their eyes as well! We've discussed the compliance before; tragically, a scrupulous cohort very often needs no coercion...
Another ex-pat in Japan here. This country has lost the plot. I finally caught the dreaded plague on Boxing Day while out shopping for a new mobile phone, having dropped my previous one into an open fire a few days before. I was the only person in the mall unmasked as usual. I thought people wore masks to protect everyone else around them? Nope, that doesn't work either.
As a lunatic prepper I have a huge stash of medical supplies, shipped in direct from pharmacies in India. Ivermectin has been in the stash for over a year and was given to my wife and son last summer when my wife caught it and I was back in Blighty. My son didn't catch it and my wife had one bad day (the first day) with a 40C fever. I took a dose in the morning and again in the evening. My fever was 40.5C. Next morning was 38C and I felt fine. Back to normal by lunch.
It's all anecdotal and maybe we would have had the same results without IVM. I take it as a win though.
My sister-in-law, 4 jabs in and about to go in for number 5 had a massive brain hemorrhage end of November. She had a miraculous recovery and was discharged a few days before Christmas. I had my wife talk to her and she says she isn't going to get anymore shots. Luckily all 3 of kids are unpoked. My wife got the first one in March 2021 before we knew how deadly they were. I talked to her and we were in agreement that she wasn't going to get anymore. Then her hospital (she's a nurse) asked her to get a 2nd. Just asked. No mandates here. And she did. SMFH. I was not happy and words were said. She hasn't had #3, #4 or #5 so it's just a matter of crossing fingers, I guess.
I live in a small town where 95% of people are vaxxed to the maxx. I'm suprised I haven't heard about many deaths or injuries. Maybe people down here in southern Kyushu got some good lots or saline. Time will tell.

It’s so painful to read this stuff like in a horror movie when want to tell them to turn around!

What a tragic loss of this older generation and the cultural knowledge that they carry. Irreplacable in the world.

Never ask a covid ICU bed seller if you have covid.
If only they had taken a 7th jab...

All these "experts" are same, same but different the world over.

Anecdotally among neighbors & friends of Japanese family these past few years:
* Handful of covid cases, all mild. No hospitalizations or fatalities
* Neighbor with arm rashes after each 2 doses, died of stroke in middle of night after 3rd.
* Next block neighbor hospitalized with heart attack immediately after flu shot. Bivalent taken 2-3 weeks prior
* Relative unable to use injected arm for two weeks following 2nd shot (soreness and zero strength)
* Different relative needing surgery after sudden appearance of cataracts in both eyes (by then 2x injected)
* Neighborhood senior walking group reduced to about half (i.e. 2 dozen down to dozen) due to dementia, frailty, difficulty walking, 2 no contact
I remember in 2021 Japan started using ivermectin and all their cases went down- so what changed?!
