“Do Not Discriminate” Against the Unvaccinated, Japanese Government Tells Citizens
At this point, almost all Western countries have introduced some form of vaccine passport or vaccine mandate. Despite repeated assurances from the Vaccines Minister that this wouldn’t happen here, Britain is no exception.
Things may go further in some European countries. Austria is set to make vaccination mandatory from 1st February next year. And beginning in January, Greece will impose a monthly fine of €100 on all over 60s who remain unvaccinated.
Even the United States – supposedly the ‘land of the free’ – has not bucked the trend toward use of passports and mandates. Several states have introduced them, including some of the biggest like New York, California and Virginia. Healthcare workers with natural immunity have already been fired for refusing to comply.
You might conclude that introducing passports and mandates is just something that all advanced countries do. But that isn’t true, as there’s one major exception: Japan.
Nobody can doubt Japan’s credentials as an advanced country. It’s a member of the ‘Group of Seven’, along with the U.K., U.S., Canada, France, Italy and Germany. And it boasts the world’s third largest economy overall. Japan is known for its technologically advanced society, where the high-speed trains never run more than a few minutes late.
So what is the country’s stance on passports and mandates? So far, it’s completely eschewed them. Not only that, but the Government and Prime Minister have explicitly told citizens not to discriminate against the unvaccinated.
The following notice appears on the website for the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare:
Although we encourage all citizens to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, it is not compulsory or mandatory. Vaccination will be given only with the consent of the person to be vaccinated after the information provided. Please get vaccinated of your own decision, understanding both the effectiveness in preventing infectious diseases and the risk of side effects. No vaccination will be given without consent. Please do not force anyone in your workplace or those who around you to be vaccinated, and do not discriminate against those who have not been vaccinated.
And a similar notice appears on the website for the Prime Minister:
Vaccines will never be administered without the recipient’s consent. We urge the public never to coerce vaccinations at the workplace or upon others around them, and never to treat those who have not received the vaccine in a discriminatory manner.
Western countries still claim to be the foremost defenders of civil liberties. But in the era of Covid safetyism, it seems that mantle has passed to Japan. Perhaps the country will send a delegation of human rights experts to teach the West about individual freedom.

Seconded.
Contrasts 100% with the vilification not so subtly going on here. Not going to link as it’s behind a paywall, but an atrocious bit of “hate speech” against the unvaccinated has appeared this morning in the Daily Telegraph authored by some tosser called Guy Kelly…..”The Great Vaxx Divide-Are We At Breaking Point”.
People like Mr Kelly must be very comfortable in their ability to avoid any kind of repercussion or censure when writing propaganda like this. If so, perhaps he is mistaken?
Time will tell.
The article was atrocious and without comments, so I added my comment to the headline article, this was it. ‘It makes me feel sick to think that such division is being sown by the media in this country. The vaccinated can also spread Covid. The unvaccinated are not unclean, stupid, selfish tinfoil hat wearers. We are people who ask questions and don’t just blindly obey. We are people who question why there has been so much censorship of leading scientists who ask awkward questions? We ask why has some Covid medication been demonised in the West, but been used effectively in India? We ask why we are vaccinating children who won’t die from the illness but they may get sick or die from the vaccine? We are asking genuine questions and instead of getting answers we just get labelled. The direction of travel we are going in has been travelled before, somewhere around the late 1930s, do we really want to go back there?’
Your comment is spot on
And the cheer leader for the vilification appears to be Sajid Three Jabs Javid, judging by his recent interview on Sky.
Javid – The man who can’t take reader critcism on the Telegraph and stipulates no BTL reader comments area below his (terrible) article the other day.
Yes, ‘Covid’ has revealed his true surprisingly unpleasant character – he obviously needs to be kept well away from “Absolute Power”! His manner is “inappropriate” for a senior democratic politician
‘A little brief authority’ is always dangerous for weak men trying to be “tough” – it brings out the bully and tyrant in them.

The jabbed can catch it and the jabbed can spread it
The viral load is the same jabbed or unjabbed.
Excellent comment.
You know things have gone seriously wrong in the West, uncluding here in the UK, when the South African government and their own panel of experts make our lot look like a load of chumps in their COVID response, especially as regards to the latest Omincron variant.
https://summit.news/2021/12/20/covid-cases-continue-to-fall-significantly-in-south-africa/
https://summit.news/2021/12/20/south-african-officials-advise-government-to-stop-tracing-and-quarantining-omicron-contacts-because-most-dont-experience-any-symptoms/
That the MSM are barely reporting on this and that Paul Joseph Watson and this site are doing the job the MSM should be rather shows hwo far the media has fallen over the last 20-odd years, and especially since 2016 / 2020.
“Resistance isn’t futile”
“Our lot” have a different agenda – one written in Davos. Take a look at Germany, Austria and Holland
The reason might just be because Dr Fauci suppressed the use of medication that produced no profits for the Pharma industry while he was pushing the vaccines ( see RFK the ‘Real Anthony Fauci’ for details)
So far as I am concerned, Fauci is basically a crook and should be in jail.
“We ask why has some Covid medication been demonised in the West, but been used effectively in India?”
They’ll probably dismiss you as a tin foil hat wearer…

Well said…..100 upticks worth!
Funny, the only thing I find curious is that there are so many double-vaccinated willing to get the booster without question. Even if you believe in the vaxx, it was sold as being done after 2 – if you now need a 3rd, wouldn’t it be logical to start asking a few questions?
Just had another technical briefing of the Dutch OMT, the infectious diseases prof. who heads it was explaining his pretty charts and why they were urging people to get the booster. There was a chart showing the decline in effectiveness among the various vaxxes.
Funnily enough, the effectiveness seemed to tick up as time went by for the J&J, particularly in those over 70.
His comment as to why this was happening, verbatim “for some reason or another effectiveness seems to rise for J&J, we don’t know why”. How can anyone still take that seriously?
A couple of days ago I was talking to a woman I know locally. She told me she’d had the booster a few days earlier and had suffered an awful reaction to it (fainting, fitting). She added that she’d had exactly the same reaction to the first two jabs so I asked her why on earth she’d proceeded to a third?! She replied ‘but I had to. I HAD to!’ No explanation of why she had to, but I was quite chilled by the total and slavish compliance to government coercion! So depressing in terms of gauging public opinion…
I think his brother needs to employ a good solicitor immediately.
The Needle Nazis always peddle the ‘selfish’ line without considering how their beliefs and actions affect others. They want us to risk dangerous and experimental medical procedures that clearly do not work just so they can, in some wholly deluded manner, ‘feel safe’. They want us to wear a slave mask that doesnt work just so they cant be singled out and identified as the only weak-spirited wretches on the high street. They want us to close our businesses, stay home, isolate and not see our family and friends just so they dont feel like the only Billy no Mates at Christmas. And they want the entire resources of the National Hoax Service directed towards ameliorating their Nudge Unit derived anxiety disorder.
Is it worth expending energy on someone who is so patently thick?

I expect everyone has moved on to another topic by now but I would like to put this out there and ask people to think a little more when they become ill with say flu.
1. Ask yourself why your nose is blocked up? Is it because your body is already occupied fighting off a virus?
Try leaving it alone!
2. Ask yourself why your body temperature keeps going up and down? Is it because your body is having a little more difficulty than usual neutralising the virus and needs some extra help. Of course if you want to bugger things up and feel more comfortable we all know what drug to take.
You know, it’s much easier to just press escape key, then repeatedly tap refresh button.
“Or indeed the sort who reportedly block-booked booster vaccination appointments at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, with no intention of attending.” That’s veering into “crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theory” territory there. The irony.
I bet he thinks compulsive sanitising is better fior him…
https://www.ipso.co.uk/complain/ suggest lots of complaints should be made with Independant Press Standards Office
Thank you – I have just made a complaint.
Why has Japan largely escaped the Bolshevik coup when the West is fully ensnared? Does someone have a grudge against nations inhabited by people of European descent? Maybe its time to look at what happened to White Christian Russians in the early part of the 20th century when the same group of people rose to power?
Sorry, I can’t figure out who’s face has been photoshopped on top of Marx?
Is Japan indebted to IMF/World Bank ?
A UN – Marxist war on Europe? Why not – it fits!
Those on here who believe that the authoritarian, psychotic crackdown on civil liberties we are now enduring is somehow inspired by Marx should note the following quote, dated 1842:-
“Under constant medical tutelage, life would be regarded as an evil and the human body as an object for treatment by medical institutions.
Is not death more desirable than life that is a mere preventative measure against death? Does not life involve also free movement? What is any illness except life that is hampered in its freedom?”
Clearly Marx, who in his lifetime was seen as an “extreme democrat”, would be very much in our camp were he alive today.
I was going to message him on Twitter and ask that he instate comments on that article so that he could see how well received that piece of rubbish was.
As I’ve mentioned in my most recent comments (sorry – I didn’t see yours foosty beforehand – I’ve now given the direct link to the DT piece), its so one-sided and implies that heavily discriminating against the COVID unvaccinated is ‘inevitable’ because ‘they deserve it’ because of ‘their selfishness’. Some anti-vaxxers may well be tinfoil hat wearers, but the vast majority of them are definitely not, and have only started down this path because of what they’ve found out (mostly properly reseached) about these specific ‘vaccines’, whereby they’ve then read factual accounts about the history of them generally and how, in my view, big pharma, along with governments/civil servants and clinicians (many of whom appear to be in the pocket of big business) and billionairre so-called ‘philanphropists’ like Bill Gates have manipluated the debate and also allowed big pharma to get away with many serious ethical and legal malfeasance over many decades, often resulting in seriously bad health outcomes for millions of people. That these (IMHO) shady individuals and orgnaisations/companies are now fully and brazenly in bed with the MSM and Big Tech is the most sinister development since the beginnings of the Iron Curtain post WWII. What’s most worrying… Read more »
Until the last year when I started to realise what is behind the COVID madness I didn’t believe in capital punishment. I now realise there should be exceptions. I hope there is a Nuremburg trial and public executions. I think sending a message about genocide is an exception. If this continues it will become genocidal.
The behaviour of the elite in the Westminster bubble does make an incontrovertible case for the reintroduction of capital and probably corporal punishment.
Have no doubt that there are those out there taking note of people like Guy Kelly. I’d put Kelly in the same bracket as the half-witted idiot, James O’Brien, that presents a show on LBC. Both of them are vacuum-headed toe-rags that are just relating from scripts whatever their masters tell them to say. Just click this link to Guy Kelly’s Twitter profile. He’s a yes-sir man, a lick-butt man. If his boss told him he was needed to walk into a pub full of blacks and call them the n-word, he’d probably be dumb enough to do it. I took a look through his Twitter feed, and there’s absolutely no aesthetics in his tweets that points to him having any creative talent whatsoever. I’d liken his tweets to a person that wrote a 10-paragraph essay and started every sentence in it with the same word. If the you-know-what ever hits the fan, there will be people hunting for toads like Kelly and O’Brien.

Japan also banned the MMR vaccine many years ago, after they discovered 1 in 900 children had an adverse reaction. Prior to its removal they had mandated it and fined parents for not allowing it for their children. I suspect they have had their fingers burnt before and the general public are potentially more aware of vaccine reactions than we are in this country. I am grateful that at least one wealthy nation is taking this stance.
Hope it spreads.
No idea how WEF is going to manage its GR based on the vaxx pass if Japan doesn’t play ball. !!
Indeed Japan is an encouraging development. Their politicians seem to actually care about the health and welfare of their own people – certainly not the case here, where well over one million vaccine injuries, myocarditis in the young and 1,800 reported deaths are totally dismissed by all Government politicians as of no consequence or interest whatever .
Heavy lockdowns and massive vaccination pressure in US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand – ‘Five Eyes’ …..just a coincidence of course.Lockdown pressure across all EU states and Israel…so what’s happening elsewhere in the world? How about Russia? Belarus, Saudi Arabia? Ghana? Columbia? Bangla Desh?
How far does the Davos writ stretch?
No doubt they’ll just pretend it didn’t happen like Sweden and Belarus. And Professor Fenton. And Dr. Robert Malone.
They also banned the HPV one too if I recall correctly.
Perhaps Japanese culture has retained the concepts of honour, integrity and truthfulness. Hence politicians are not so easily bought, as in the west.
It’s the same in business.
Arguably an even bigger problem.
I have been to Japan. They are lovely people with a profound sense of courtesy and respect, yet will brook no bullshit either.
Indeed. They also respect he old – which obviously after last year and midazolam -we no longer do.
vax passes MUST go to court. There is no possible medical reason to have them. The jabs just do not work.
Take a look at this – https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.14.472719v1.full.pdf
mRNA boosters give no detectable antibody response to Omicron. PLUS, we know that for the first ten days after the shot your natural immune response is totally compromised – the result is that everyone taking a booster is a perfect unprotected target for omicron.
The rush for boosting is the complete opposite of what should be happening. Vax passes have no justification if every few weeks another bypassing variant comes along and that is exactly what you can expect from any coronavirus. Passes fail on necessity, proportionality and effectiveness. They cannot be legal.
I think you are assuming that the rule of law still applies in the UK. I’m not entirely sure that it does.
We have the rule of the buffoons and the corrupt from a government, which is in Bill Gates’s back pocket.
Gates and Schwab with significant contributions from Fauci and Soros.
No evidence so far that it does . The ‘Emergency Powers ‘ the buffoon scares and bullies our craven Parliament to renew on the nod apparently over-rule all!
And, in other news, Blair, The Man Who Burnt Down The Middle East, says “prepare for fourth “jab””. The day that anyone does the bidding of a war criminal is indeed a sad one.
Fundamental problem.
The bastards have trashed Common Law in the UK.
Blair worked overtime for years wrecking the legal system. He met Soros in New York just after he became Labour Leader – I wonder what they discussed?
When does Johnson plan to meddled with the courts?
Regarding human rights, the plague in the West has been George Soros and his OSI. He funds practically every western human rights NGO, and they dance to his tune. He along with Gates and the Ford Foundation have it sewn up. If they decide something isn’t a human rights violation, then Amnesty, Liberty, HRW etc are all silent.
Some time ago, and after dredging through their website for any comment, other than the inequity of not inoculating the Third World with free “vaccines”, I wrote to Amnesty to enquire why they had not kicked up over the tyranny, loss of human rights and liberty, autonomous choice and all the rest in the so-called “Developed World”, especially UK and EU countries.
Answer came there none.
Have you noticed that Amnesty are currently pushing for more Covid vaccines to be sent to the Global South. They sent a petition to me today in my Hotmail inbox.
I gave them very short shift and told them NEVER to send me anything like it again.
Either they are absolutely not getting the point, or are knowingly involved in something very dark indeed.
It gets even worse when you realise the likes of Big Brother Watch are also funded by Soros.
Well fuck a duck. Glad I didn’t support them with cash now. I was right to safely assume that no one given a voice in the media is actually on the right side.
Soros and Gates have demonstrated that money can buy absolutely anything and anyone- as if we didn’t already know.
Soros has turned Human Rights into the ticket for open door immigration to Europe – his contribution to the break down of the European Nation State..
The ‘mass immigration to Europe’ project goes straight back to Coudenhove – Kalergi
Japan is also allowing the use of ivermectin, is it not?
I wonder if it’s possible to emigrate there?
They are not hugely keen on foreigners living in their country. I have to say I agree with them.
I’d be willing to live 20 just miles away from Fukushima!
They like people to be respectful and that respect is reciprocated.
They have a very strict immigration policy. They decided that immigration did not fit in well with the Japanese social model.
I don’t think that Sajid Three Jabs Javid is quite on board with that message. I emailed Doris the Clown last night and asked him to have a word with Three Jabs about his anti unvaccinated hate speech on the media, stirring up division, hate and bigotry, possibly violence. And asking him to tone it down a bit. Otherwise Three Jabs might find himself in bother with Hate Speech Commissar Sadiq Khan and his metropolitan hate crime enforcers.

They’re desperate to bring in mitigation before the peak, because once infections fall with fewer deaths than previous
seasonswaves the pandemic dies, they become powerless nobodies with their 15 minutes of fame over.exactly. if we dont lockdown and we go past the peak, fergusons and LSHTM stupid 5000 deaths a day is going to look silly
All their other modelling has been made to look silly but they are still on the Today program every morning…
yes, but they claim the lockdowns stopped heir silly predictions coming true
It also stopped the space-giraffes from invading
Or did they?
An offshoot surely of Einstein’s description of stupidity: interviewing
the same person saying the same disproven scaremongering over and over again and expecting different results e.g. that this time their absurd projections of deaths will be proved right.
Silly or not the sheep are obeying !
That’s the only thing that matters to this Davos Cabal!
They can point to a line going down, say “Hey, look at the line going up”, and 95% of the population – including “experts” – will see the line as going up. Essentially all they need is someone above them in the opinion chain giving them a “reason”.
It’s like hypnotism where a person eats dogshit and thinks it’s chocolate cake.
There’s been almost a century of “social psychology” research on this.
What the government and corporate advertisers says to people simply does not depend on appealing to their logic. It appeals to their emotion. All successful propagandists know this. Even car salesmen know it, FFS.
The shows I’ve been to it’s only an onion. 🙂
It’s almost a quite literal replica of the Asch experiment writ large.
How can we waken people up from their near hypnosis? It seems logic won’t do it. Scaring them doesn’t seem to work either, for our heart is just not really in it. Demonstrations get ignored, as the Iraq war showed, though they may scare the PTB a bit into a slight withdrawal into a bit of retracting the indecent. But how do we really get through, because we are not achieving more than a slow drip, drip at the moment?
You can’t use logic to change someone’s mind, if their decision has been made through emotion.
As happened in July, but it doesn’t seem to have caused any lessening of the malign Imperial influence!
They already do.
I really do think that provides ample incentive for the Tory rebels to hold Johnson’s nerve for him…
Straight Lies.
For The Greater Good Parody.
How refreshing to see that in the world we currently live in. If the situation continues to deteriorate here in the UK I might move to Japan!
They don’t like westerners moving in.
On the surface, great.
But like Sweden, can Japan be apparently more “relaxed” simply because it has such an obedient, compliant population?
In the end, Sweden has introduced vax passports like everyone else, is at the forefront of control technology like microchip vax passports (as explained on here).
Societal pressure to comply is perhaps so strong in Japan that the government has most of it’s work cut out for it anyway.
So what you are saying is that Japan is no different to the UK. Clearly no so.
Well, crap. Now I have to decide whether I want to be Floridian or Japanese.
The linguistic and cultural differences are slightly less in Florida, although the sushi is better in Japan, and they do drive on the correct side of the road.
The driving on the correct side of the road might be the decider.

Unfortunately foreign citizens who do not have “exceptional circumstances” are currently banned from entering Japan 🙁
Having nearly read through the whole of Kennedy’s ‘Anthony Fauci’ it is clear that there is one man behind what is going on. Frightening just how open he is about his intentions, how wrong he is, how much of a monster he is, and how little our governments have done to protect us from him. But it isn’t Fauci.
Who is it? Gates, Schwab? Too obvious, who could it be?
Yes tell us. I have the book on my kindle but haven’t read it yet.

Japan banned the use of the HPV vaccine in 2013 because of the side effects.
There was a court case against them in 2017.
Under Japanese law bureaucrats found to have neglected their duty to inform medical consumers of serious risks involved with taking medicines, vaccines and other medical products can be prosecuted and severely punished.
It’s a pity other countries do not follow suit.
They don’t trust western medicine.
I wonder why.
Yep. Brownstone had a piece on that last week.
Seems it is the only country and people that have really learned a lesson from history. https://brownstone.org/articles/japans-vaccination-policy-no-force-no-discrimination/
It’s easier to inflict suffering on “the other” than one’s own. Clearly, the Japanese still run their own country. Westerners, do not.
Japanese Wary
Of Experimental Drugs
So Reject Mandates
Thought this was v pertinent
We forget in the West just how much animosity there is between Japan and China, which stretches back centuries. The Japanese are very sceptical of any ideas that are promoted by the Chinese. Since it is them that has pursued vaccine passports and a social credit system with such aggression, it is no mere coincidence that the Japanese have held back, or even resisted, these schemes.
Certainly true. Years ago (1996) I visited Beijing, and other places, where myself and a friend of mine were accompanied by an “official guide”. Didn’t take him long to criticise Japan; he definitely didn’t like them!
Note how the MSM in the UK is pushing the discrimination of the COVID unvaccinated (especially by making out they all are ‘anti-vaxxers’ and all white working class idiots, conveniently forgetting we cover a wide range of ethnic and life/educational backgrounds), presumably with the Ok or being pushed by the government, civil service and/or Big Pharma/Tech.
Here’s today Telegraph tryng to push this propaganda – when I first read it at breakfast time this morning, no reader comments allowed on this ‘article’:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/life/great-vaxx-divide-breaking-point/
Likely they’ve only allowed comments after complaints via other articles, especially under the Letters Page. Amazing how with this very one-sided piece, no-one from our side ever gets a letter published refuting their claims.
It comes to something when it’s the Japanese Government leading the world in Human Rights.
…and South African government knows how to conduct a sensible health policy response by their government compared to 95% of Western countries…
God help us all.
Seems they don’t control Japan. Wish Japanese wasn’t such a tricky language or I’d be applying to emigrate there.
Thought of Texas and Florida but eventually, if this continues, it’ll be civil war there.
I suspect soon you’ll need to be ‘fully vaccinated’ against COVID to be able to fly there or go by ship – even to ‘red’ states, because they’ll be a federal mandate in the US.
Ironically the only routes to do so without getting the jab might be via the ‘immigrant’ route via Mexico or ‘refugee’ one via Cuba. Not exactly something I would relish doing.
If DeSantis runs for President, we (the World, assuming at hasn’t ended under Biden’s regime by 2024) might stand a chance in getting back some kind of normality. He’s doing brilliantly in Florida at the moment.
Civil war here is coming…..
Thanks for pointing this out. I did not know this. Good for Japan.
Good on Japan and they’ve even added warnings about possible side effects on vaxx packaging and information leaflets.
I can’t image the toadying puppet Boris ever taking the side of those who insist on preserving their bodily integrity.
Kudos to Japan for this vaccine position. However, we shouldn’t go overboard singing the “common-sense” praises of Japan’s leaders.
For example, Japan just hosted the Summer Olympics, an Olympics where no spectator could attend any of the events. Also, an Olympics where (as far as I know) every participant had to be vaccinated.
Both measures were mandated to “protect” the spectators and participants … when in reality both groups would have been perfectly healthy without these imposed mandates.
Also, the Summer Olympics were postponed for a year. This didn’t even have to happen. The participants and fans would have been just as healthy if the Games had taken place in 2020 as originally planned. But the Games had to be postponed per the dictates of the “experts.”
And, as far as I can tell, nobody has questioned these completely unnecessary “safety” decisions.
Also, from photos I’ve seen, it looks like everyone in Japan is wearing their masks …. outside and inside.
So there still is no “safe haven” for critical thinking. Maybe in Sweden (at least as it involves lockdowns and NPIs)?
Granted I’m a contrarian, but I would argue that the Japanese government DID discriminate against citizens who would have liked to have attended some of the Olympic events. This “discrimination” actually harmed a lot businesses that would have made a lot of money if fans could have attended these historic and exciting sporting events. I’ll also add that for the first time in my life I did not watch one minute of an Olympics on TV. I just didn’t want to watch a sporting event with no fans. Judging from the terrible TV ratings, I’m not the only person who took a pass on the TV coverage of the Games. This defacto boycotting of the games, did not directly cost the nation of Japan any money, but there has to be some kind of “opportunity” cost associated with this. Here one assumes one reason Japan wanted to host the Games in the first place was to market or “sell” their country to the people of the world. Maybe some people who might travel to this country in the future because of the positive storylines they were exposed to during the Games. Well, this positive effect was neutered significantly as well.… Read more »
