Concerned Citizen comments

I will never be bullied or pushed to inject anything I don’t want. And anyone else thinking about it should never be pushed or bullied to take any vaccine they don’t want. Tune out the noise of the left and right, all media and consult your medical physician to make the best responsible medical decision before or if you decide to take the vaccine, never the government.

Well said. And I'll add the media and some members of society to the list of vaxx bullies.

Only take it if you personally think you need it.

Well done Mikan. Gotta love Japan!

Great news. And without hard lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations. Perhaps other nations can take note.

I don't think by force. They could have tried that already if they wanted to. They'll continue diplomatic, economic and subterfuge efforts.

If the US ever collapses and loses nuclear weapon capability they might use force.

How about happy fun stuff that the kids and the whole family can enjoy, like Disney used to make?

Probably better in the end for these personal, they won't get sent off to slaughter or be slaughtered in America's next unjust war.

Not for my kids.

doctors puzzled why

Which proves that experts don't know everything.

We should respect them, but not necessarily blindly follow.

COVID-19 cases plummeting in Japan.

Great news!

cancel the fast-track approval granted to COVID-19 vaccines earlier this year.

Not cancel. But don't make purely voluntary, attach honest warnings and don't administer to pregnant women or those who are likely to get pregnant.

They are also opposed to the government's plan to introduce so-called vaccine passports, according to their website.

Right. No segregation in Japan or anywhere in the world please.

Rather still have an amicable relationship with an ex than be so cruel as to ignore her, or vice versa. A civilised break up is the way to go.

Well said.

It's very encouraging to see that relatively minor issues such as this make the news in Japan. Such a great country to live in.

While I don't think excluding Israel and refusing to play against them is the answer, I can understand surrounding nation's feelings regarding Israel's brutal mistreatment of the poor Palestinians and the apartheid within Israel itself.

Freedom from prison only for the vaccinated (Many coerced). Segregation and discrimination in Australia. Sad.

Why is Israel in the European qualifiers while it's neighbors are in Asian qualifiers?

Umezawa’s co-workers said he had been drinking alcohol while on duty for the past five years and that they had repeatedly warned him against it.

His colleagues warned him. Did they report it to management? If so. what did they do about it?

God bless the researchers. I hope this possible treatment works and gets approved quickly.

@BertieWooster

A doctor pointed out something very important on this issue. "I need to know the actual gender of the patient," he said. "A stomachache for a man may be a very different thing than a stomachache for a woman."

Exactly.

So sad that some governments and media are deliberately driving a wedge between people. Don't fall for it folks.

Why all the panic and ostracisation of people who MIGHT be sick? If we exclude everyone who MIGHT be sick from society there will be no one left. Let's be reasonable.

In a country sadly known for people not wanting to get involved in the affairs of others this is great news. Well done young man.

Now she's finally being more realistic. It's just common sense that such viruses can never be fully eliminated. Put in reasonable measures to limit spread and then open the country up.

Vaccinated people can spread Covid as well. Should they get fired too?

Firing workers, some no doubt who have served the company faithfully for decades, and causing them and their families to lose their livelihoods. All because they MIGHT be sick with and MIGHT pass on a virus to others that is 99.99% curable? Terrible.

They should sue United Airlines in court for unfair dismissal, discrimination, etc.

Never leave young children alone anywhere much less a busy public space filled with strangers.

Poor girl. I hope she didn't catch anything from him.

Excluding people from participating in society because they MIGHT be sick and spread a disease that is 99.99% curable? This is overreach. I say 'No' to dsicrimination and exclusion based on such personal medical decisions.

So in Australia the government grants or withholds freedoms that should be had by every citizen by default? Crazy.

Also, shutting unvaccinated people out of society is discriminatory. Vaccinated people can spread the disease as well.

Poor, poor girl. I cannot imagine how terrified she must have been. May God care for and confort her now.

Thankfully the boy came out of it alive. I pray he recovers from the trauma.

It's absolutely vital that parents and teachers teach children to never, ever go with strangers.

If the unvaccinated must be execluded because they MIGHT be sick then why not exclude everyone else who MIGHT be sick with any number of diseases? Every business or establishment would have to have a health marshal at the door with a loooong checklist for every customer to be interrogated on regarding their health and medical history and h health and hygiene practices.

This is getting ridiculous and dangerous.

It is blatant discrimination.
