We had not a single mandatory lockdown here in Japan, however we did comply more or less with all of the other elements of that advice including vaccinations, strict immigration rules mandating quarantines upon entry with GPS tracing and strict penalties if abridged, widespread mask-wearing, social distancing, reduction of people in crowded places such as limiting church attendance, bars, restaurants, contact tracing, etc and we are now a very small fraction of the US Covid infection and death rate… Look up the figures… And by the way nobody ever said the vaccines stop the virus 100%, they are no different than flu vaccines in that regard, however vaccinating reduces greatly the risk of both infection and severity of infection....for in the south African virus it is emerging precisely **because** of the extremely low vaccination on SA, (20%,) and that they’ve also chosen to vaccinate with dicey, crappy Red Chinese vaccines as well… I wish people would get a clue and figure this out.
Lots of people here on FR believe Japan’s low Covid rates are because ... drum roll ... widespread use of ivermectin. No convincing them otherwise. There’s this video, you see.
Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation.
The Omicron variant is thought to have originated in an HIV+ individual, as was the Alpha variant (Kent, England). When you consider various diseases evolve resistance in the immunocompromised (resistant TB in HIV+ patients best known example) and the high prevalence of HIV in South Africa, it is no surprise. The Beta variant also originated in South Africa and is thought to have been cooked up in an HIV+ patient.
You actually believe that?
Wasn’t ivermectin passed out like candy in Japan too?
It’s a COLD...sheesh.
The Japanese are quite an obedient lot, aren’t they? Looks like you fit right in. Enjoy the tyranny!
That's a knee slapper coming from you! LOLOL
