"Will Japan even honor its own vaccine passport?"
Of course not.

Seems life expectancy of the Japanese increased inspite of the pandemic

How can you know? We are forced to live with it. Real elimination lockdowns haven’t been applied so far, so nobody can state they work or fail. Btw., estimates are, that there exist as many viruses as beach sand. And although that number is sheer overwhelming, only very few people are entangled by sand. In other words, if we are condemned to accept the viruses, at least there should be some separation efforts. Not that we all die tomorrow morning, but we cannot live with the viruses for a longer time span, I am sure. Decreasing vaccine efficacy, life expectancies or LongCovid as well as economic, social and psychological distortions give a clear sign for that. How often can everyone win those bettings in a row, next booster, next infection wave, while quickly getting in affected age groups oneself? It’s not very probable to stand it all as long as it had been before the pandemic. In addition, the body’s resources necessary against the viruses are used and then aren’t available against other infections, cancer and so on. It’s really a mess, although only a few might think so.

Small bump, but regardless of what the actual numbers are, the trend is looking good.
Just open up.

I didn't mean manipulations in a bad way sorry to disappoint =)

With numbers this low why are fully vaccinated folks still being made to self isolate on arrival?
ian
Even if this is true the point of the vaccine is to prevent infections in the first place.
If by natural immunity you meant our natural immune system without having been infected it would mean that the vaccines actually lower protection
ian
I guess it's one of the measures why numbers are this low and it's still in place to try to keep it that way.
Until maybe they've reached their vaccination targets

just remember we've been warned of a 6th wave coming, so let's not get complacent and keep ourselves safe. We'll get there, slowly but surely.
