Jay comments

i love how these antivaxxers are the first to point fingers at vaccines for allergies, at the same time refuse to acknowledge the millions of kids around the world that arnt dying from , Pox, polio, hooping cough, malaria etc etc, why has there been a dramatic decrease in the childhood deaths, DAAAAHHH VACCINES. 

What?

Refer to my original post. How many vaccines did you receive as a child? If you were born in a developed country pre-1991, the answer is likely four.

If you have children, how many vaccines did they receive? The answer is more than likely 16... at least.

My point is not about encouraging anyone to be pro- or anti- "vaxxer," but to be a discerning one. As you are responsible for your health and the health of your family, you owe it to yourself but more importantly, you owe it to them.

One of them is the truth. The other isn't.

If throwing around "conspiracy theorist" labels help you feel better about your decision to vaccinate your children with their 16-shot cocktail, because you chose to forgo analyzing the scientific evidence produced from studies that aren't paid for by large pharmaceutical companies, then who I am to stop you.

At the end of the day, if it wasn't for logical, objective conspiracy analysts, you'd probably still be double-masked, socially-distanced and on your twenty-seventh intravenous booster by now, to protect you from, "you know, the thing" that you would have otherwise believed to have come from a wet market bat.

Ohh Jay, you've uncovered a vaccine conspiracy! Very interesting theory!

What's the difference between conspiracy theory and the truth? Oh, about 20 years.

Take a look at The Institute of Medicine (IOM)'s 2011 report on vaccine adverse events in children and food allergies, freely available for viewing online.

You should tell the people in charge.

But then there'd be less ¥¥¥ to be made!

Since the early 1990s, the number of recommended vaccines for children in Japan have increased from 5... to 16.

To say that the alarming spike in food allergies has only a coincidental link with the cocktail of vaccines parents are now pressured to have administered to their children is flat out disingenuous.

Why? Because these vaccines contain food proteins. Many independent (read: honest) scientific studies have demonstrated that food proteins in vaccines cause sensitization in humans, and their allergens in vaccines are not fully disclosed. Not only that, but safe dosage levels for injected allergens have never been established. Allergen quantities in vaccine excipients are also not regulated.

To summarize with a question: how many children did you know growing up with food allergies? Now you've got kids walking around with their permanent, multi-point vaccine scars on their arms, allergic to everything from eggs to peanuts to the latest salmon offerings from Sushiro. It's disgusting, it's insidious, but nothing will ever be done about it or even looked into because the big pharmaceutical companies wield far, far too much power.

Trudeau might have an easier time appealing to the biggest artists from the PRC. I'm no Swifty, but Taylor obviously has a problem with overreaching governments who freeze bank accounts of tax-paying citizens and move to unequivocally ban media organizations that don't toe the official government line.

Enter Trump stage left.

Touche.

Ok, could you even imagine for one second a European or North American leader - besides The Donald - matter-of-factly making that declaration?

Wang's ridiculous comments come from an absolute clown of a man representing a complete joke of a regime.

No matter how yellow you dye your hair, or how sharp you make your nose, you’ll never turn into a European or American, you’ll never turn into a Westerner"

Could you even imagine for one second a European or North American leader, matter-of-factly declaring: "No matter how black you dye your hair, or how moon-shaped you make your face, you’ll never turn into an East Asian" ???

Thirty years of straight-jacketed isolation in a barren room for the psychopath responsible.

For Bud Light beer, it was a partnership with a transgender influencer that triggered the ire of right-wing consumers, and calls for a boycott.

Normal, center-of-the-road consumers - or even those who identify with liberalism but not wokeism - are now "right wing consumers."

It's disgusting what the government, big corporations and the media are attempting to do. It should remind us of a jar full of red ants and black ants, which will coexist peacefully, until someone shakes the jar.

It's time to start asking, who's shaking the jar?

Me too Jay

Welcome back Elvis.

they have all been originated when infected animals

Thank goodness you're here to prove the conclusive findings incorrect and, even though the Wuhan Institute of Virology is just up the road, to remind us that Covid did come from a wet market bat after all!

official data lacked credibility.

Official data from the Chinese Communist Party lacks credibility? I am shocked.

The best way we can all prepare for the next "pandemic" would be to take an hour out of your day to research the difference between a fully approved medicine and a provisionally approved vaccine. Once you fully understand the different standards each are held to in order to reach the market, and then you understand the liabilities of manufacturers for a medicine versus a vaccine, you may be way less inclined to blindly roll up your sleeve the next time a shiny face from a big pharmaceutical manufacturer tells you to get a jab.

While I don't see suicide as ever a positive, I don't agree with you either and see this as applying Western views of morality to another culture.

Yes, because that is exactly what needs to be done in this case. Western culture isn't perfect, but it's the best we have in terms of individual freedom, economic prosperity, intellectual advancement, technological progress, the arts and medicine. Most importantly, Western views of morality have provided the blueprint for the ascent of humanity. It's why accepting responsibility for our wrongdoings is widely praised and turning to suicide in order to escape from it is condemned as cowardly.

Simply put, some cultures are better than others.

The incident occurred on the same day as a weekly magazine published a report detailing Ennosuke's alleged involvement in bullying and sexual abuse of people, including actors and staff in his theater collective.

Japan's extensive history of turning to suicide when faced with the shame of uncovered wrongdoings would have to be one of the most detestable parts of its culture.

Running away from responsibility -permanently - doesn't absolve someone of something, it simply makes them a coward.

Nobody should have their life ruined because they messed up their birth control.

No innocent life should be terminated because someone messed up their birth control.

FYI Adoption doesn't just exist in fable and folklore - it's a real thing. Abortion doesn't just deny the life of the unborn child, it denies another potential parent a chance to finally have a child of their own.

100% spot on, KyushuBill

Having the complete lack of gun control - like the US has - would likely result in Australia having a gun homicide rate multitudes higher. Luckily for places like Australia, Japan etc it is incredibly rare to see mass shootings.

Yep, and as evidenced by the above news story, our prohibitively strict gun laws ensure only the bad guys get access to the guns!

That's an easy one Jay.

It certainly was.

I'd like to know other people's experience and whether they were vaccinated or not.

I got all vaccines. Followed all J Gov guidelines as best we could. We both knowingly have not gotten Covid yet and have never been healthier, despite myself working in a high risk environment. 

Go figure.

I didn't get any of vaccines. Ignored all J Gov guidelines. I knowingly have not gotten Covid and have never been healthier, despite myself working in a high risk environment. 

Go figure.

because the widespread immunization is precisely what gives population the ability of properly protect vulnerable population with a booster, specially with the much less risky variants currently predominant, a completely different situation from the beginning.

Can you honestly say, without a hint of irony, that strongly and vigorously encouraging the vaccination of the vast majority of the population was the right thing to do?

Can you honestly say that dismissing the many now-vindicated virologists, epidemiologists, biologists and toxicologists whose counter views were quashed, ridiculed and censored, as "anti-vax conspiracy theorists" - was the correct stance to take?

Because if the answer is yes to either or both, history has proven you to be incorrect, and continuing to hold onto such views would make you a science denier. That would be your legacy.

He underscored that people at high risk of developing severe illness should be vaccinated.

Instead of a blanket, one-size-fits-all vaccination scheme, why wasn't this the position from beginning? The answer is simply because there is serious money to made from preaching unsubstantiated "medical facts" to a scared populace.

Absolutely tragic. If there is one tiny piece of comfort the parents can take away from this tragedy, it's that their son passed away a hero.

For those familiar with the series Curb Your Enthusiasm, this is what is known as a "Larry David Moment".

The ruling is essentially saying, "We believe in free speech but not that much free speech!"

At the end of the day, politicians work for us, not the other way around. In a so-called democracy such as this, it's not only entirely justifiable but actually completely necessary that tax-paying citizens are afforded the right to openly criticize the performance of government officials, and when and where that occurs is not up for any court to decide.

I haven't cringed so hard at my own country since the Covid insanity.

These people need to extract the subject from the story, and think of the principle behind it. If you are saying "I don't want this speech", then think of what really happens when you want that speech - right now you are consigning away your right to a life that extracts your right to oppose any kind of power. If you can't oppose power, then power is going to do whatever is convenient for it whenever it wants to. If the mechanic is removed, then any ideas of free speech begin to be perjured, negatively regarded, smeared and slandered. 

Australians, wake up to what is really going on before it's too late.

Afghanistan were allowed to compete in the Olympics.

I don't know, it could be an interesting novelty for other countries' players to compete again a team of what appear to be floating bedsheets.

Things you can get for ¥200,000:

Multi-destination international plane tickets;

A quality used kei car or motorcycle;

4 years of internet;

Hmm.

The Jetsons - a valid reference point for future innovation - predicted we'd have flying cars in the year 2000.

So, what took them so long?

Good. I hope he gets every penny of that amount. Not that we particularly want to see Ghosn win, but so Nissan lose. They've proven themselves to be an untrustworthy, disingenuous company with gobsmackingly unethical business practices. And they make cr@p cars.

You mean she, the patient, asked the assistant nurse to fondle his own bosom?

My mistake... instead of "thy bosom", I should have used "thine boobeth".
