Most of the coverage we provided during Japan’s bungled turn hosting the Olympics this summer dealt with the nation’s spiraling COVID infection rates and lagging mass vaccination efforts. But while they limited the in-person attendance of the actual games, the lockdowns and restrictions the government imposed were fairly mild. People were still allowed to go out to bars and restaurants, albeit with modest capacity limits and the streets were far from empty. The Associated Press described the measures as a series of “relatively toothless states of emergency.” That makes this week’s news all the more puzzling to some medical professionals. The COVID crisis across Japan, and particularly in Tokyo, has all but evaporated. In less than two months, Tokyo has gone from reporting more than 6,000 new cases per day to less than 100 this week. And not even the government can explain why.

- no more silly jabs
- ivermectin
- no Fauci BS
Not anymore. If Japan deems you useful, permanent residency can be approved. Both my brother and family and daughter and family have it with no Japanese ancestry.
The fact that four generations of our family have worked in the country, learned the language and respected the culture was helpful but not the key determining factor.
Japanese started using Ivermectin.
It was invented by a Japanese.
From Pete from Shawnee Mission:
“Nagao was asked by the TV anchor when patients should take Ivermectin if diagnosed with COVID-19. He replied: “The same day, I mean if you are infected today, you take it today… It is a medication that should be given for mildly ill patients. If you give it to hospital patients, it’s too late. This is also the case for the majority of drugs… So you have to give Ivermectin. I am asking our Prime Minister Suga to distribute this drug ‘made in Japan’ on a large scale in the country.”
From Fury:
“ Re: 15 - I wonder if there is also a specific genotype(s) that are more able to be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and not become infected?”
Add both of those up, toss in the Japanese analysis of J & J (?) vaccine showing all kinds of “other stuff” in it that made the country discontinue those vaccines and I think you have your answers.
They bow instead of shaking hands. They don’t jostle each other in subway trains. They also eat lots of fish, FWIW.
Gee, if only we had global statistical aggregation of the percentage of people with acquired immunity. Gawrsh.
FWIW, my daughter-in-law is traveling to Japan to see her ailing mother next month. She’s been told she has to quarantine 10 days at a hotel before she see her mom. Of course this may change.
The Japanese think we are unbelievably obese.
Americans four times a year? Geez, I’m 67 and have seven or more Rx yet visit a medical provider only once or twice a year (just to get the prescriptions renewed). What do people do at all these appts?
About 18% of people in Japan smoke vs. 14% in the U.S., But it’s much more skewed towards male smoking in Japan. I think it’s about 27% of men versus 6% of women.
We are unbelievably obese. Even just to compare it to the United States in the 90s.
Government distribution of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine in defiance of Dr Fauci and his puppet, Sleepy Joe.
has the test changed?
There is a significant psychological difference between Japanese and Americans when it comes to conformity, regardless of whether the vaccination rate had anything at all do do with the “disappearing COVID crisis”.
Personally, I would rather be an American with individual rights as a person (even with all the obvious societal complications of that) than someone living in a society with the unofficial motto of “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down”.
I lived in Japan for a few years back in the Sixties, loved it, and liked the Japanese.
But they sure don’t have an American mindset when it comes to being an individual.
Ever see Japan's Subway Pushers?
They did not have significant lockdowns. People kept riding those trains, working, and going to bars and restaurants.
Toward the very end of the article, it states, "Nearly everyone else will eventually contract the virus... At that point, the novel coronavirus should sink to something that has no more legs than the seasonal flu."
I lived in Japan for a couple years when my dad was stationed there. I was 11 years old. In my Dad’s entire career…. and then my husband’s career…..I have never lived in a more beautifully memorable place…..and I still couldn’t wait to get back to America.
I thought, a couple of months ago ,that the health minister in Japan recommended everyone get Ivermectin.
That is what should have been done all along.
Treat it fast and hard.
People come out with having had a cold and natural immunity.
Easy peesy.
For some reason doctors around the world seem to be resisting the idea.
Curious.
According to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, as of 2009 only about 3.5 percent of the Japanese population was classified as obese, versus rates as high as 30 percent or greater in the U.S
January 2008, Japan passed the “Metabo Law,”
With the new law, for example, Matsushita, a company that makes Panasonic products, has to measure the waistlines of not only its employees but also of their families and retirees, the Times reported.
NEC, Japan’s largest maker of personal computers, said at the time the law went into effect that if it failed to meet its targets, it could incur as much as $19 million in penalties. To avoid that, the company started measuring the waistlines of all its employees over 30 years old and sponsored metabo education days for the employees’ families.
