Pure propaganda.

agree with you both 100%. The powers that be are getting desperate.
How about giving a voice to the overwhelming majority of people who don't want the games in the first place??
The Tokyo Olympics event is a lot of things- one thing it is not is an event that gives a voice to ANYONE except those who will profit. Full stop.

Parssons is a sad cowtowing self servicing individual and that attitude is why he got the job.
he does not hesitate to use the paralympians for his own sad agenda and thus is putting the gains that paralympic athletes and disabled people made on full integration at risk.
he is a disgrace and unfit to hold that office

What drivel.

Who are they? people with valid authority in disease control? or just politicians and athletes? The pandemic has cause a lot of people to sacrifice things in order to protect the life and means of living of everybody in general. The least anybody should do to protect the dreams of vulnerable people is to listen to the experts when they say something is not going to help and instead become a higher risk, even if politicians tell you to trust them everything is going to be fine.
If you have politicians saying one thing about an infectious disease, and the health care experts saying the opposite, it only makes sense to listen to one of them.

And your opinion about it is still much less important than what from the experts. Which have said the measures are incomplete and wholly insufficient to avoid increasing the risk.
There is no safe place where tens of thousands of volunteers commute daily without tests, without isolation. Being able to recognize this and protect the vulnerable population even against financial pressures would be much more inspiring.
