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 612-million-dose stockpile of mRNA jabs, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th jab rates of 91%, 82.5%, and 56%, respectively. But unfortunately, Japan has started 2023 by reporting its highest ever daily Covid death tolls. During the booster era starting in early 2022, each wave has been noticeably higher than the last.
What could possibly explain this? Let’s ask Takaji Wakita, chairman of Japan’s Covid Response Advisory Board.
The cause of the rise in Covid deaths is *hard to explain.*
What about Dr Satoshi Kamayachi, director of the Japan Medical Association?
JMA director on increased Covid deaths: “There’s a lot we don’t know, and we don’t have evidence.”
Nice to see an expert admit the limit of his knowledge. But there must be something Dr Kamayachi can tell us, right?
Dr Kamayachi, citing the rapid spread of Covid infections as one reason, explained that the majority of those who died were over 60 and many had underlying medical conditions. The direct cause of death is often heart failure or kidney disease, and he said that "thorough analysis is needed."
Heart failure, you say? Well, it’s not like most Japanese over 60 have been injected multiple times with anything that causes cardiovascular problems, is it? And kidney disease is coincidentally a side-effect of Remdesivir, an approved Covid treatment in Japan.
Of course, Japan has been counting anyone who dies with a positive test result as a Covid death regardless of actual cause of death since 2020, but Dr Kamayachi and the rest of Japan’s experts haven’t bothered bringing up the issue of attribution until now. In fact, they were more than happy to cite inflated mortality data to help promote the jabs. But now that people may question why daily reported Covid deaths are higher than ever after the majority of over 65s have taken the experts’ advice to get multiple boosters, underlying medical conditions can apparently be discussed.
But although he’s three years late, Dr Kamayachi has a point. Although reported Covid deaths have been much higher in the booster era, far fewer Covid cases have been receiving mechanical ventilation (the gray line shows the number of ventilators/ECMO secured for Covid patients).
But even if hardly any of them have been struggling for breath on mechanical ventilation, Japan’s elderly have been dying in higher than expected numbers in the booster era. The national figures for December won’t be out until late Feb, but Yokohama (Japan’s second largest city) has already releases its all-cause death numbers for 2022. Somehow I doubt Dr Kamayachi will call for a “thorough analysis” to find out the cause of the increase since August.

Although there’s no good news here for Japan’s vaxed-to-the-max elderly, there is for Japan’s medical establishment: high numbers of Covid deaths mean the publicly funded Covid gravy train will keep going. From The Nikkei.
On 11th Jan, experts offered their views on reclassifying Covid-19 under the Infectious Diseases Act. In light of the current situation where the number of reported Covid deaths per day is the highest ever, the experts called for the government to continue to provide a certain amount of financial support to cover treatment and hospitalization costs and for securing hospital beds.
Basically, the government’s selected experts, including Dr. Wakita above, recommend that Covid should be downgraded “gradually”, i.e., medical costs should continue to be covered by public funds rather than health insurance/out-of-pocket payments like every other medical condition. This might seem reasonable. But under the current scheme of Covid support payments, hospitals can be paid ¥436,000 (US$3,370) per day to “secure” a single ICU bed regardless of whether anyone is in it. And overpriced Covid treatments include glorified cold medications like Shinogi’s Xocova.
So let’s recap what the experts have told us.
The cause of increased Covid deaths? “Dunno.”
Should the government keep showering medical institutions and pharma companies with money? “Absolutely!”
Well, what were you expecting them to say?
Stupid idiots say they are stupid idiots. Domo Oregato Mr. Robato. So many morons can’t connect dots and yell “I’m a friggen idiot” to the world.
Vaccines work but there’s a limit to their effectiveness. Think of it like a flu shot. If you’re old, your immune system can’t keep up with covid-19.
I know nothing
Maybe we need better experts.
L
I guess they aren’t valued enough. They need more boosters.
What’s not to understand? The clot shots are working exactly AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO PERFORM!
Culturally and societally, Japan has been a dead man walking ever since the end of World War II. Their response to the COVID pandemic, including their slavish embrace of the garbage vaccines, will merely hasten was what an inevitable disintegration.
Spike proteins are harmful to the body. Adding MORE spike proteins doesn’t do a body good. Some of the newer boosters supposedly do not have them. I don’t trust any medical advice anymore. They used up their trust deposit.
The need for subway crammer pushers will be reduced.
“despite” or “because of” ???
It’s not what I’ll feel that scares me
it’s what I’ll see.. That fine silver spear slicing through my tissue as a
knife slices the butter.
That easy spread kind of butter, the brand with the secret ingredient
The I can’t believe it’s not butter, butter because in fact it is.
So left arm please.
I’m blind in my left eye and i’m less likly to swivel my eyes.
Distract me, talk about anything that animates me, in fact almost anything animates me so it’s no challenge...
Just don’t talk about how this shock assault to my system will protect me.
I know that already, it’s why I’m here.
Alas I can not pretend I’m here for the greater good, I just want to get on a plane again someday.
Maybe order infusion pumps for everyone and pump the VAX in 24/7/365 safe and effective
Whatever the narrative calls for at any given time, that's what you all will post. No matter if it completely contradicts what has been posted before.
Its just sick.
The PUSH for this shot was so OVER THE TOP it is hard to believe that anyone with an ounce of common sense wouldn’t be full of suspicion!!
Even though Japan was pushing people to get the death shot, there was no mandate and not federal government mandate for masks or any other quarantine or lockdown. We have it pretty easy here compare to other places. The only change I made in my lifestyle was enjoying the working from home and getting to sleep in late. I know a lot of people, mostly at work, that were and still are eager to get the death shot, for some reason. I don’t talk about such things at work. I have some friends that got the shot for travel restriction purposes (I *think* Japan may actually have one mandate on travelers), but many regret it. Fortunately I also have many friends that are common sense constitutional conservatives and saw the red flags way back in December 2020 and knew we were going to avoid that death jab at all costs.
I’m not baffled.
From the current substack article you are claiming contradicts:
During the booster era starting in early 2022, each wave has been noticeably higher than the last.
I was under the impression that 2022 came after October 2021. Also neither of the blog nor the substack article seem to have enough following to qualify as "the narrative".
