One other inflection point, Shinzo Abe was Prime Minister until Sept 2020 and he promoted ivermectin as a treatment.

After they got him out of office, that stopped and within a couple months, they escaped normal for the first time. He was staging a comeback in 2022 when they killed him.

Ive always held the Japanese in such high esteem. Absolutely blows my mind that they were hoodwinked like the rest of the world. Amazing.

My Taiwanese friend has gone from blaming Covid for excess deaths to it’s old age.

Yes people just aged 30 years in 2022 🤣

New Zealand is starting pfifth shot from April’s fool day, you might be interested to keep an eye on how our zealots get on

I agree - they also export 'dumb' overseas - my local Japanese School (mostly attended by mixed Japanese-British kids, so this is being enforced largely by people married to local Brits) - was masked up until this Autumn, months and months after local government stopped 'recommending' it and locals stopped wearing it. Apparently the argument being put forward was, they cannot be the source of contagion, since they are only renting the school space (it's only run on Saturdays in a local high school). Someone asked, how would anyone know where the 'source of the contagion' is when it's everywhere? And apparently the answer was, again, 'we just cannot be the source of contagion'. A v rare unvaxxed Japanese friend whose child attends there was questioned in 2021 about vax status by one of the other parents (in a supposedly a friendly chat - well initially anyway) and when she said she wasn't, the woman asked v aggressively, why, and when the friend answered, because it's not been tested properly, the woman aggressively said, oh so you're going to let everyone else be the guinea pigs, that's v community minded of you. My unvaxxed family and friends in Japan (surprisingly, there are some) are facing ridiculous level of pressure to conform and vax (therefore masking was the least they could do, kind of situation). Things are not good in Japan - the country's baseline is OCD germphobic anyway, and then there's the whole 'douchou aturyoku' translates to 'pressure to conform' which is kinda massive over there - it was bad here during covid for sure, but whatever is happening in US/UK, think times a thousand. So I totally commend those in Japan who have resisted and not conformed - it took some guts to live through that level of pressure unvaxxed and unmasked.

Lol - "condom-laden orgy of stupidity". I feel for the fearfully dumb when you see their little eyes peaking out at the world.

In Japan people are dying immediately after vaccination, and Japan is flooded with people suffering from vaccine injuries. Under the circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that the unusual excess deaths currently occurring are caused by the vaccine.

It is truly amazing how “scientists” and “healthcare professionals” will bend data into interpretative pretzels to avoid discussing spikes of deaths (or maimings) post-vax. They are either too scared of or too beholden to pharma (and government) to even suggest vaccines as a cause. That there is no scientific interest in investigating vaccines as causative agents in these spikes is reprehensible.

Their "explanations" are not really a surprise, as these are the same sorts of spurious explanations that are being rolled out everywhere else. Here in Australia, with excess mortality that cannot be denied at this point, they are still trying to explain it away as "long covid", or "covid after-effects" or failure to get medical diagnosis & treatment because the hospitals were overloaded or we were locked down.

In Australia - because most of the country was isolated, internationally and interstate too - it is pretty hard to explain away the excess deaths in 2021 when there was hardly any covid - especially in the states with ongoing hard lockdowns, i.e. South Australia and Western Australia.

But they are still all singing from the same songbook.

Unvaxed Gaijin here. It is the captured government and the captured media that are pushing the narrative of the vax companies. A group of scientists from Nagoya university noted the excess deaths and injuries and is suing the government, but it is ignored by local news and any news in English. Accurate information is suppressed. Japan bashing, name calling, certainly does not fix this.

"Experts" remain baffled.

Good stuff, Joel.

As a former newspaperman I continue to find the British media the great canary in our coalmine.

There are huge stories lying around, glinting like diamonds in the dirt, and the hacks just walk by, averting their eyes.

I know why, obviously; what I can't understand is why more of them aren't breaking ranks. In my day (1990s, mostly) we on the nationals were a rambunctious and rebellious crowd.

Pferfect analysis :-)

Can you / are you looking into their data for births? I suspect that overlaying deaths and births will amplify the problem.

Indeed, and they used to be so smart too. What the hell happened to Japan?

At this point, the House of the Rising Sun is looking much higher on my bucket list than the Land of the Rising Sun, lol.

'Dumb in Japan' as in the song "Big in..." perhaps? Great analysis. Thankyou.
