It’s comical to see the comments calling ¥4 million a waste of money. Its chump change in government spending and besides, budgets are separated. It’s not like that cash would be allocated to your favorite charity. It would go to other similarly useless projects.

“Anti-vaxxer” is a misnomer. They are specifically against the rushed and coercive nature of this covid vaccine. Anti vaxxer refers to those against all vaccines. This is a distinction to be fair.

Transparency generates trust and enables people to make informed decisions.

Suu Kyi's party won a 2015 election and another on Nov. 8 but the military said the vote was marred by fraud and used that complaint to justify their coup. The electoral commission dismissed accusations of fraud.

Believe women.

The media will continue to disparage the 75 million Americans who don’t support leftism but that will backfire. Trump is a symptom not the cause.

I’m glad they are carefully deciding which experimental vaccine to disseminate to the population.

Talk about an unsustainable strategy ...
