Covid and vaccination: Japan goes it alone
At a time when people in Brussels are starting to administer the “anti-covid vaccine” to children aged 5 to 11 and the debate on compulsory vaccination is raging in the European Union, Japan stands out as a resolute exception with a vaccination policy based on the absence of coercion and discrimination.
The Japanese Ministry of Health does encourage Japanese citizens to get vaccinated, but the decision must not be subject to any pressure from those around them (including in the workplace) and must be based on the person’s informed consent. Moreover, far from extolling the vaccine’s safety or concealing its adverse effects, the Japanese are doing everything they can to properly inform citizens before they opt for the injection: the product’s packaging contains a warning about the possible risks of myocarditis (among others). Added to this is a firm commitment to reporting adverse effects in order to better “document” potential side effects.
Finally, to prevent any discrimination against unvaccinated people in the workplace, the Japanese have found this foolproof solution: a link to a “Human rights advice” page, which includes instructions for handling specific complaints.
In doing so, the Japanese have decided that the choice of getting injected (or not) belongs to the individual, or to the parent in the case of a child. A resolutely more ethical approach, which could inspire crisis management in Western countries.
