As we don't have a break down of co-morbidities and age groups, how can you assume that 278 people died directly because of COVID?

but the slow break down of social services as so many people get sick and are absent from work for 1-2 weeks…
... is due to people being forced to take the time off because they "tested" positive. Most barely even have the sniffles...

So when is South Korea going to recognize it's true role as part of the Japanese Empire 1910-1945?
Curious.. if Korea was happy to be part of the Japanese Empire: why do so many South Korean people still hate Japan? Because Japan left Korea?

Posted in: Japan health experts urge gov't to speed up review of COVID measures See in context
There is no evidence of ivermectin nor HCQ being effective against covid anywhere in the world
Certainly not from the doctors that had their medical licences suspended and their records seized by authorities for doing something that wasn't sanctioned by the big pharma/WHO/CDC et al narrative. The medical community is clearly compromised...

It is like a doctor telling a patient that he can finally end up his chemotherapy because the cancer is in remission just to have somebody else saying "see? you never needed it from the beginning"

The purpose of ‘news’ seems to have been misrepresented to you.

Posted in: Japanese life expectancy sees 1st decline in 10 years amid pandemic See in context
Could be that but also could be the decline of the pension system and rising food prices... But who knows.
Could be yeah. But those factors would be too er... intangible. COVID on the other hand, a very clear checkbox on the death certificates. Diabetes, heart/lung issues, influenza, kidney failure etc due to having the life sucked out of you on the workforce are also intangible. But gee, when that PCR test says COVID you can rest assured it's COVID...

All the hypochondriacs are armed with a fresh news article hot off the propaganda press. Relax, people! If COVID was as bad as you have very vocally purported since 2020 there would be corpses on the street by now. Sheesh!

Bronco, perhaps you could give us an update on what the infection, hospitalization, and death ratios would be if no one were vaccinated?
Do you have those numbers at hand..?
Perhaps you could give us an update on hospitalizations for influenza?

Take away their natural, poly-cultural food sources (which Japan does so well) and they become a problem at the foothills...
This is a never factored in when city folk bang on about how Japan is not overpopulated. Too much monoculture already, and still Japan can't feed itself...
