Japan Boldly Jabs Away
No more vaccine hesitancy in the formerly apprehensive population?
What is going on in Japan? Why such a sharp “Covid” death spike?
You can read Guy Gin’s posts about the current situation in the Country of Raising Sun, “Japanese lessons: how not to respond to a pandemic”.
But my answer is banal by now. Japan started the second booster campaign about Jul. 3, 2022, as can be seen from this chart:
Zoom in on “Covid” deaths and we can see the sharp deflection in the deaths’ trend upward two weeks later:
Same as we observed in Switzerland. Except the scale of jabbing in Japan is an order of magnitude that of Switzerland. Accordingly, the spike in deaths is so far four times higher than that of Switzerland, but the trend is more robust. Now that jabbing subsides since July 31, we can expect the deaths will peek now and will subside after Aug. 14, 2022.
The next shoe to drop? I put my bets on Germany to follow through with a robust autumn jabbing push, having a similarly “socially-cohesive” population to that of Japan, plus a severely sanpaku-afflicted ignoramus Health Minister Karl Laurebach:
Yes, this Karl Lauterbach (click on the image to see the video):
Hi Andreas,
40 year resident of Japan here ... 18 years of which was biology lab director for non-science majors at Temple University Japan. In my experience with other Japanese institutions of 'higher' learning, I've learned to trust data coming out of Japan Inc.with a smidgen of wasabi.
The 'medical experts', data, and pronouncements trotted out by the ruing class of the Japanese corporate nation-state are about as trustworthy as the WHO numbers that the comfortably avuncular John Campbell crunched on YouTube for a couple of years.
The average Japanese is so conditioned to compliance to authority that they still believe PCR tests are the gold standard, haven't even begun to question the difference between detection of a viral fragment and sickness, or sickness 'because of' verses 'in correlation with co-morbidities'.
Japan is still in the easily manipulable 'nudged by fear porn' days that Laura Dodsworth wrote about regarding England. The power mongers are simply going about the timing and choice of lies that fits the conceit of the 'uniquely' Japanese way.
Although I am just one data point, I work as a 'post retirement' Assistant Language Teacher, have come in very close contact (high fives and hand shakes) with over 2000 school kids several times a year... and, I have not been jabbed, much less been through the ritual of a PCR which tests positive on papaya, goats, and motor oil ... and neither have my closest Japanese friends.
Cheers from the land of non-stop Kabuki shows brought to you by a corporate nation state which ranks mid-pack at best, for freedom of press by Reporters Without Borders.
Keep applying the hammer until the bruising stops.
If the bruising stops when you DON'T apply the hammer, apply the hammer again to keep them away in the future.
