Do you have any references of the few simple facts you wrote? because they run completely against what doctors and scientists say about COVID and vaccines.

I am specially interested in your claim that mRNA vaccines against COVID decrease the immunity because this is a part of the work I do and I have found no evidence of this. The only thing I found about it is a terribly bad movie about supposed young people dying because of the vaccines and clots but without offering any actual proof this is happening.

Once in Nagasaki I found a snake in the toilet as well, a tiny one coming up from a window and that was easily convinced to go back outside with the help of a newspaper. That was stressing enough for the time I stayed in that room, can't imagine how would I react with a full grown one.

It is always interesting to try parts from other cultures, cooking is something very unique that can help familiarizing people to how other people live.

Nothing dubious or unsafe about the vaccines, and every nurse in the hospitals I work with have already vaccinated their children. The real risk comes from COVID, not from the vaccines.

Anybody that rejects the advice of their doctor with the phrase "my child, my choice" is in company of parents that reject life saving blood transfusions, antibiotics, nutrition or surgeries for them using exactly the same phrase.

Images are quite disturbing, sad to see

What is this nonsense about discrimination in the comments? HPV kills more women than men, so if you don't have enough vaccines for everybody girls come first. The vaccine has already proved to reduce deaths on women, if one dose does this effectively there is no point in wasting more doses to get the same result.

Anybody that has taken care of a patient with parkinson's clearly understand how big of an advancent this represent. Life quality would be completely different.

Fascinating news, can't wait to see how useful this technology can become. A lot of problems on the brain could be solved if this prove to be safe.

The cast for July 4 seems much better, July 3 seems more like popular choices.

So internet cafes are easier to rob than convenience stores? maybe the clerks need to have some extra training about how to deal with this situation.

can I trust this? 

It is not like it is a scientific report but I guess that is what kids think these days, girls do not want to have flower shops to tend funerals.

Terrible story to read, can't believe people taking care of children could have so little care, anything that can mean a child may lost their lives merits a couple of extra checks, it doesn't even takes that much time.

It is a shame a global pandemic was necessary for this delayed development, this has been needed for decades already.

Terrible situation, the girl is going to need a lot of mental health support from now on because of the terrible actions of a boy. I hope she can soon recover from this at least partially.

It is nice that Mr Suto took on himself to do something about the problem, on the other hand it is very sad that the need for something like this is still present.

This is only going to increase as the weather changes, specially with the problems of last year and the students again returning to class.

Good that everybody was rescued alive, and I hope all get soon discharged and make a full recovery.

Wait until mosquitos can overwinter in Honshu and you will see a real epidemic of vector borne diseases in Japan, not only Japanese encephalitis (young people are not being vaccinated against it anymore), but many other as well. Australia is just a warning about what is to come because of climate change.

On the other hand, trying to blame this on COVID vaccines? really? that is desperate even for antivaxxers, ONE case of encephalitis do not explain an outbreak of the very different syndrome of encephalitis, you need to be totally ignorant about medicine to pretend they are related.

I was just reading about something related on pets and infectious diseases, it is incredible how much can be found out about common diseases by trying to treat animals. It is not surprising that many researchers on human diseases have also veterinary degrees.

Saw this coming from 10 years ago, times change and attitudes about nudity as well, maybe in the future things will go back and sexuality and nudity will not be automatically assumed as equal.

I guess stereotypes are born from a reason, but it had to be men overreacting and making such a fuzz over a delay of a period. There are many women that never have a regular period, others that get a delay if they drink one extra cup of coffee in the morning. Making this normal thing an argument is just proving once again that men ignore even basic women health.

This should have been done from the very beginning, the first measure before thinking what else could be done.

How come people keep missing the point completely?

This is not a revenge boat or poor Japan boat, its purpose is to avoid nuclear weapons from being used anywhere on the planet. A crime that humanity did to itself not to be repeated ever again.

Terrible thing happening during what should have been a happy celebration. I hope the list of victims don't grow in the following days.

Apple is not the same as it was when Jobs was alive, this is not surprising at all.

Meaningless bravado that will amount to nothing at the end, the issue is important and should be discussed like that instead of putting too much attention to this.

I would love to be as important as a famous person dogs so investigations would be also done so quickly for me.

A tiny speck compared with the need, but I guess anything helps

How about a "Go to nowhere" campaign? Where transportation, highway fees, etc. get a nice extra charge so people find more expensive to travel during the state of emergency? Either people stay home or there is an extra amount of cash to support the hospitals treating covid patients.

Taiwan feels desperate in this, obviously is in Japan best interests to support it, but at this point I don't think there is anything it can offer, if the worst come to happen Japan will give little more than declarations of how "regrettable" things are.
