Covid cases in Japan keep plummeting and no one knows exactly why

Got any evidence whatsoever?

I posted a link in this thread after that comment.

Also Japan has always used mask. Didn’t stop or mitigate anything. They were stupid using them before and now as well.

The article in the OP said that masks, social distancing, and vaccines alone cannot explain it.


I'm not saying that ivermectin doesn't work. I haven't yet formed a strong opinion one way or the other. Although, if it did work, I would expect the Japanese government to be loudly tooting their horn as ivermectin was created in Japan.

Ivermectin is in the local soil perhaps they have all gone organic. Do you think someone might be dirt rich from this?

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil

You may be onto something. I see no reason why we couldn't expect that their fresh fruits and vegetables would not have some Streptomyces bacteria contamination. Especially their root vegetables. The bacteria can also be found in manure that is used as fertilizer. It's possible that it's going unnoticed because it's very rarely linked to any disease.

Japanese culture is very unique. I would imagine it is a combo of face masks (already used in Japan prior to Covid, because it's what's proper when one is sick), social distancing and vaccines plus a general (loosely used) trust in local government and scientists.

I think it’s pretty obvious. Obesity. Japan around 4%. One of the lowest in the world.

Radiation kills viruses...

Fukushima...




Actually, It could simply be that covid is starting to finally die out.

Would be nice to see this start happening everywhere.
