The problem is that culturally, Japanese are trained from birth that “the nail that sticks up will be hammered into place.” They’re trained, as a former agrarian society, to do whatever is necessary for the community, and will therefore sacrifice their own personal feelings and autonomy for the “greater good” of society. That’s why they’re effectively socialist and why they’re not individualistic at all. Lemmings. They move with the crowd, and that crowd is easily controlled by the few who are independent and shout the loudest in their society. Critical thinking is not taught in their schools either. So you’ll not get people to connect dots and demand change. I’m absolutely certain there are Japanese researchers who can see this is bad, but would more than a handful ever speak up? Who would give them a platform to broadcast the message wider? Or the even worse and more diabolical scenario is that the government knows, and is encouraging it. Why would they want to kill their own people when they already have a shrinking population? Simple, their population pyramid is inverted and they have more aged people than young workers to support them, and taking care of all those senior citizens (national pension, healthcare, lack of income tax revenue, etc) is a fiscal burden the government can’t pay. The more who die, the cheaper it becomes.

The deaths are not widely reported here. NHK, akin to PBS in the States, recently got caught and apologized for airing interviews of survivors of those killed by the vaccine but reporting that they died of covid. Doubt many know of the lie and apology. I have heard not a soul speak of it outside of Substack. Should be big news anytime the government news agency gets caught in any lie, but no one is talking about this here.

In fact, they are reporting that boosters will be ready for the Fall covid season. Frankly, I wonder how many there are left who have not had at least two shots at this point.
