We had a meeting last week where they were surveying how many people would get the new booster. In my mind, they were gauging if they could mandate it or would it cause a backlash at the university.

what's the verdict?

The Kool-Aid won but just barely. Their enthusiasm has waned, but it is hard for them to let go. I suspect management is hoping for a miracle from above that reimposes a mandate. My wife says she will NEVER go back to mask (she’s a flight attendant). She’d rather go on unpaid leave.

and this is supposed to be the best and brightest...

Nope. Those are at my university, a medical/nursing school. Took a pic a week or two ago of the partitions between seats in a lounge with every other chair missing. Masks and social distancing are still the rule and followed by all except myself. A med school. I thought MDs were supposed to be able to at least think.

The benefits are fewer "useless eaters", the risk is killing some useful eaters in the process of elimination of the former. Then everything makes sense.

Today's "Science" requires, first and foremost, a firm grasp of the political target to aim for.

Once you get firmly focussed on the "fact" that Big Pharma's products are "safe and effective", it doesn't matter how many non-sequitors you use, what intellectual somersaults you perform, how many barefaced lies you tell.

Similarly, deciding that weather dependent Ruinable Energy is cheap and will save the Planet is all you need to justify the "Climate Crisis" lunacy.

Today we have the CCP waving their hands in horror about infinitesimal discharges of Tritium into the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, trivially radioactive since forever.

Of course, the CCP has a proud history of caring a toss about the health risks to their lowliest citizens. Baby milk, anyone?

I'll spare you the next 100 paged of other examples.

covid injections are NOT VACCINES, injection of a synthetic FOREIGN GENETIC MATERIAL in form of mod mRNA is called GENE MODIFICATION of a HUMAN BEING, who after the shot, once enough stem cells are RE-PROGRAMMED, and each additional shot just enhances that probability(!!!), is NO MORE THE OLD HUMAN, with the genes from mother and father. The new HUMAN being is PATENTED entity now, carrying the genes from the UNIVERSAL SPIKE toxin, designed for example in case of MOD-E-RNA by a SILICON VALLEY CORPORATION with the name DNA2.0. That's in their patent for their covid concoction.

INDIGENOUS JAPANESE WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING with your heritage???????????????

Mejbecart, I should know by now but other than straight poisoning people and there are many ways of doing that without mRNA why mRNA? What is the purpose of modifying genes? What kind of new human are they trying to create? Weak, strong, or weak and then rebuild? Basically what is the purpose of gene therapy. Asking for my South Was Asian metropolis who believes in "safe & effective".

I'm deeply sorry, that the scientists/MD's/politicians totally BETRAYED the humanity and didn't tell the simple uneducated people that they will get genetically MODIFIED when taking the synthetic covid Spike genetic material from Pfizer/Mod-E-RNA into their muscles, veins, blood. It is shocking for many, but in order to avoid total human ANNIHILATION it needs to be said. The genetically modifying genes from the SARS-CoV-2 Spike contain lot of venom sequences, from snakes and other crawling creatures. We humans DO NOT CRAWL on the ground, we are NOT snakes!!! In those sequences are pieces of many other very old viruses and also lethal viruses/bacteria, ;iterally bioweapons like anthrax, cholera, Marburg, etc, part of it all was applied already in the OLD style vaccines, the real vaccines in the past, covid products are totally different. Covid injection materials are pure synthetic GENES embedded into a HUMAN READING FRAME components, so that your human body thinks the injected toxic Spike is YOUR GENE, which it isn't, it is part of crawlig creatures. That biggest LIE across the entire world NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED NOW, so that NOBODY WILL FALL FOR the next round of KILLINGS.

If you read some of my posts, you will grasp the background and proof of this all.

PLEASE, tell everyone never ever to get any covid injections.

My friends in Nikko, Kanagawa, Kobe and Tokyo only took the shots in order to travel. Half of them are not boosted. The boosted ones experienced chest pain shortly after the shot and they deeply regret it.

Do you think it's safe for me to go to Japan again in December this year or can we expect testing regime, masks etc. This would totally ruin their Christmas.

To bring back mask requests and test/vax entry requirements, the govt would need to return Covid to its old category. So I’ll think you’ll be fine to come here. I assume the govt/media will use the fact that fewer people are masking and more foreigners are visiting as reasons for elderly Japanese to get their 7th shots.

What are you picking up on masks. With the summer vacation, I hearing nothing on Covid.

Expand full comment

Covid numbers are now reported weekly mainly on local news, so it ain’t a topic of conversation much anymore. Most service workers are still masked, however. Most middle-school kids I see on my way to work are still masked too.

I’ll find out soon if my kids are still have to Mokushoku. They were right up to to summer vacation. They are un masked but all but one of their classmates wore masks until summer vacation. Mask mandates are coming back in the States and I fear will be here too?

The Japanese can't reintroduce mask requests in schools unless they put Covid back to its old category of "Novel-type influenza". I imagine once the new booster becomes available, TV will be telling the elderly to rush out and get it because fewer people are masking, so they'll need to be extra cautious.

No, but they are not telling kids, factuality or staff that they can not wear them. In my 4th grader’s class, there are only two students who were unmasked up until Summer vacation. I’ll find out in a couple of hours how many were for the first day back.

Then we have med schools and nursing schools. Mine still require them.
