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.

And they don't have mandates.

Just thinking of the greater good.

The company I work for is almost 100% Japanese. My impression is that the vast majority of my co-workers are not aware of the mechanism of action of mRNA jabs vs. traditional vaccines. They don't know what spike protein is. They don't know what LNP means. Most are just getting it because MSM has made it the "normal" thing to do (along with masks).

I've tried communicating the dangers, but it's still difficult to get through to many people. Even my own doctor told me I should get the shot, despite having recovered from Covid several months earlier (was a run-of-the-mill 2.5-day cold for me, no lingering symptoms).

Unlike in western societies, suicide in Japan is often considered to be an honourable act, so if some people effectively make the choice to kill themselves 'for the greater good' then they are dying with honour, not stigma. Suicide is a major problem in Japan. The suicide rate notably peaked in the country in the 1980s when the Japanese economic miracle started to fall apart, and then again in the late 1990s. There's a lot to love about Japanese culture, much to admire about Japanese industriousness and innovation and their superb manufacturing - Japanese cars, motorcycles and electrical goods are still the best in the world in my opinion. But there is a dark side too. The Japanese sun certainly appears to be setting and it's raining Datsun cogs.

The difference with "cases" and "deaths" is, that you can replicate the former but not the latter.

Persistent deaths (extra) will eventually lead to "lower" death rate. But now we see unseasonal extension for two years+? Not so with cases with leaky vaxes, they will reappear and re...

Please revisit the australian myocarditis data. Every age group can be assigned to roll-out schedule, and thereafter problems apperance.

Dumbo, long thougth to have extincted, is florishing everywhere!

Long live the -vaxavoiding!

If you think the Japs are stupid, try us Swiss. We are the only people in the world who actually got to vote on the Covid measures and lockdowns. Last week we voted for the THIRD time to keep the measures on the law books till 2032. People are just pinprick plebs.

If you ever needed more proof that this is NOT about intelligence I can't help you. Japan, South Korea and Israel are all very bright, well educated, with cultures that value academics and yet they fell for it REPEATEDLY.

Sheesh. Just when we need more engineers to fix things and solve problems we've poisoned 3 great sources of engineering talent. This doesn't bode well for the species. Just saying that George Carlin may have been correct with his "Pack your shit folks. We're going away".

Kinda bummed to hear that Japan is so bad, you never want to go back. My son is stationed over there w/ the USAF & we’ve just booked a trip next April to visit him. O well, the main point is to be with him & share a slice of his life there (he’s really loving it so far) & im sure we’ll enjoy some nice experiences along the way.

sorry I meant fully vaccinated against Mumps

Can we trust that they are still reporting the jab stats? - Nah.

Incidentally, they can't get treatment at clinics unless they wear masks. Stupid lasts forever

Well given population trends it may be a great place to live if you can be self sufficient
