The possible explanations for Japan’s Covid-19 miracle

Dr. John Campbell examines the situation in Japan where Covid-19 cases have plummeted and remain at among the lowest rates in the world.

As the opening day of the Olympics approached this summer, Japan, as host country was seeing a surge of covid-19 cases. Unfortunately the summer festival was highly locked down to visitors and fans were not allowed to attend the competitions. That surge in cases turned out to be the worst wave Japan has faced since the beginning of the pandemic.

On August 13, the Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association announced that Ivermectin would be allowed as a treatment. Within 2 weeks, skyrocketing case numbers started to fall at the same rate they were going up just days earlier. The number of new cases bottomed out and have remained incredibly low. In this video Dr. John Campbell looks at Ivermectin and other possible explanations for Japan’s incredible success.

Here are the notes Dr. Campell makes in this video:

Ivermectin allowed as a treatment on August 13: Doctors can prescribe without restrictions. People can buy it legally from India

It is necessary to thoroughly study the clinical trial, but it seems that we are at the stage where it is okay to have the patient give an informed outlet and get permission to use it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/202…

Viral genetic mutations Ituro Inoue, professor, National Institute of Genetics. Delta variant in Japan accumulated too many mutations. Virus’s error-correcting protein, nsp14. Majority of nsp14 specimens in Japan seemed to have undergone many genetic changes in mutation sites called A394V.

More people in Asia have a defense enzyme called APOBEC3A that attacks RNA viruses, Including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, when compared to people in Europe and Africa.

Court Orders Bank Freezing Records in Freedom Convoy Case

UNRAVELING THE DEBAKING

A Canadian court has ordered the release of documents that could shed light on how federal authorities and law enforcement worked together to freeze the bank accounts of a protester involved in the Freedom Convoy.

Both the RCMP and TD Bank are now required to provide records related to Evan Blackman, who took part in the 2022 demonstrations and had his accounts frozen despite not being convicted of any crime at the time.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced the Ontario Court of Justice ruling. The organization is representing Blackman, whose legal team argues that the actions taken against him amounted to a serious abuse of power.

“The freezing of Mr. Blackman’s bank accounts was an extreme overreach on the part of the police and the federal government,” said his lawyer, Chris Fleury. “These records will hopefully reveal exactly how and why Mr. Blackman’s accounts [were] frozen.”

Blackman was arrested during the mass protests in Ottawa, which drew thousands of Canadians opposed to vaccine mandates and other pandemic-era restrictions.

Although he faced charges of mischief and obstructing police, those charges were dismissed in October due to a lack of evidence. Despite this, prosecutors have appealed, and a trial is set to begin on August 14.

At the height of the protests, TD Bank froze three of Blackman’s accounts following government orders issued under the Emergencies Act. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had invoked the act to grant his government broad powers to disrupt the protest movement, including the unprecedented use of financial institutions to penalize individuals for their support or participation.

In 2024, a Federal Court Justice ruled that Trudeau’s decision to invoke the act had not been justified.

Blackman’s legal team plans to use the newly released records to demonstrate the extent of government intrusion into personal freedoms.

According to the JCCF, this case may be the first in Canada where a criminal trial includes a Charter challenge over the freezing of personal bank accounts under emergency legislation.

FDA requires new warning on mRNA COVID shots due to heart damage in young men

Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID shots must now include warnings that they cause ‘extremely high risk’ of heart inflammation and irreversible damage in males up to age 24.

The Trump administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will now require updated safety warnings on mRNA COVID-19 shots to include the “extremely high risk” of myocarditis/pericarditis and the likelihood of long-term, irreversible heart damage for teen boys and young men up to age 24.

The required safety updates apply to Comirnaty, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured by Pfizer Inc., and Spikevax, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured ModernaTX, Inc.

According to a press release, the FDA now requires each of those manufacturers to update the warning about the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis to include information about:

the estimated unadjusted incidence of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following administration of the 2023-2024 Formula of mRNA COVID-19 shots and
the results of a study that collected information on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) in people who developed myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 injection.

The FDA has also required the manufacturers to describe the new safety information in the adverse reactions section of the prescribing information and in the information for recipients and caregivers.

Additionally, the fact sheets for healthcare providers and for recipients and caregivers for Moderna COVID-19 shot and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot, which are authorized for emergency use in individuals 6 months through 11 years of age, have also been updated to include the new safety information in alignment with the Comirnaty and Spikevax prescribing information and information for recipients and caregivers.

In a video published on social media, Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, explained the alarming reasons for the warning updates.

While heart problems arose in approximately 8 out of 1 million persons ages 6 months to 64 years following reception of the cited shots, that number more than triples to 27 per million for males ages 12 to 24.

Prasad noted that multiple studies have arrived at similar findings.
