As for the so-called covid vaccine, there has been no mention in the Japanese media of anyone dropping dead or experiencing other serious reactions after the jab. This could be due to a form of censorship but I doubt it. Is Japan using a different vaccine or are E. Asians immune to whatever is causing the problem in N. America and Europe? And why have I not seen any mention of this difference anywhere? The vaccination rate in Japan is around 80%.

Japanese diets are way healthier than western diets. High salt content and good blood flow creates a better system for dealing with any issues that may occur. Also they had fewer multi doses than other countries. I am also suss about most vaccination rate figures in general. Specially here since japan rejected so many batches of the vaccines.

I agree. The new Japanese made vaccine is coming out very soon or already and I may go for that one because I'm used to one or two trips out of here per year and i am starting to get mental. I'm in S. Chiba near Tokyo.

Why go for it at all? We balk at genetically modified and unnatural foods, claiming they are not good for us, but happen to inject unnatural and completely artificial things into our blood. Also youre actually in japan huh? Sorry for your financial loss.

Yes but there has been no financial loss YET. I was bemoaning the fact that up until now I have needed to get two jabs and a stay of ten days in quarantine. But, I just found out that those rules have been dropped for my destination. The "mental" part is just that I'm getting stir crazy. The price of air tickets must be sky high right now though. I have not yet been jabbed but travel might not be possible in the wonderful world of the future.

Well, I know nothing about your situation, but do you want to stay there? Because, you're probably going to become a mutant, or you gonna find a good way to tape your eyes back to hide your gaijin status.

I have waited two years and still haven't been jabbed so I'll probably wait a bit longer. I don't mind it here so much but need to be on a beach about three months a year to survive. It's a lot safer here than in the US right now IMO. I may already be mutating.
