    In Japan space is at a premium so it's understandable, as for China yeah, they're some of the worst polluters on the planet.

    Got my Moderna booster shot yesterday at the West Roxbury VA hospital which was holding a special saturday booster shot clinic.

    The VA Hospital is usually closed on weekends except for emergencies.

    They even offered free rides for Veteran's through Uber/Lyft service but I drove myself. But still not too bad for the VA - door to door service.

    Pop said they are very nice and welcoming. They have a beautiful tea ceremony. They are a very clean people. Japan is spotless. Their public rest rooms are very clean. Some bars still will not allow American GIs to enter because of resentment pursuant WWII.

    How long ago was that, though?
    I ask only because I didn’t see any resentment when it came to going to clubs, restaurants, social events, etc., while I was there during the late 2000s.
    There were protests but they very small
    in scale, and politically funded.

    My father died back in 1990 so I would say 1980 to 1990 range? He started travels way back in the 1960s; so, from 1945 until 1960 is just 15 years. Back during that time, I remember WWII bombs going off in the sea near Malta and Italy. So, maybe people who were still alive at that time felt that way? My friend Bryan was stationed in Guam and Japan in the NAVY and he married a Japanese woman. He learned Japanese and was still told to leave the bar, because he was American.

    Wow, ok. I think the only place I actually experienced resentment was actually in Korea. Fuckin South Korea!
    There were clubs that had signs on the door that said “No US allowed”
    I was young and angry about it, because we were there for them. Those particular clubs were boring anyways!
    I thought Japan would be the same, but for me it wasn’t. I thought for sure I was going to have issues being Black and dating a Japanese woman. No issues at all….

    I've been waiting for this since it was first reported that she won her lawsuit with the help of Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance who promote the use of Ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19


    [​IMG]


    No doubt Ivermectin has helped to treat millions of people and billions of pets and farm animals for parasitic diseases but there's no evidence it works against COVID-19, but they don't care because it's the ultimate money grab

    Ivermectin prescriptions have gone from 3,600 a week before the pandemic to 90,000 a week today in the U.S.

    It doesn't make any sense when you go into the Army you could receive upwards of 20 shots depending on where you're deployed.

    The Flu shot, MMR, Meningococcal, Polio, Tetanus, plus annual booster shots
    When Deploying or Traveling to High Risk Areas - Hepatitis A, Typhoid,
    When Required by the Host Country to Enter - The Cholera vaccine
    When Deployed to Area Where the Commander Accesses a Biological Threat:- Small Pox, Anthrax, Plague, Rabies, Varicella


    More than 100 US Marines and 6 Army leaders were relieved of duty for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine


    The US Marine Corps fired 103 Marines, and the US Army removed six active-duty leaders from service for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, the military branches announced Thursday.

    The fired Marines had until November 28 to receive their jabs or apply for an exemption or be administratively removed from the force, The Marine Corps Times reported.

    The Army said the six leaders removed from Army service included two battalion commanders.

    Their ranks ranged from sergeant to lieutenant colonel, an unnamed Army spokesperson told Politico.

    The Army said it also issued 2,767 written reprimands to soldiers who refused Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's vaccine order, for which each military service set its timeline.

    Anti-Vaxxer RFK Jr. Busted for Holiday Party Urging Vaccinations, Blames Wife Cheryl Hines

    Robert F. Kenney Jr., one of the country’s most well-known anti-vaxxers, hosted a holiday party last week where guests were urged to be vaccinated or to test for Covid-19 before attending.

    Politico’s White House Correspondent Daniel Lippman reports that Kennedy blamed the request on his wife, Cheryl Hines (made famous by Curb Your Enthusiasm), and claimed he had not seen the e-vite for the party.

    “I guess I’m not always the boss at my own house,” Kennedy commented to Lippman, who also reported that, “There was also no effort to verify vaccination or testing status of the attendees before entering.”

    The fact that Kennedy’s holiday party e-vite urging vaccinations made headlines is a testament to the strength and national influence of his “anti-vaccine juggernaut,” which was profiled by the Associated Press this week.

    Wrong. She was exposed, but following tests, was found NOT to have it. She's also double vaxxed.

    Not just World War II but during much of the cold war involving the NSA's SIGINT activities at places like Misawa, and Yokusuka and at the Kadena Air Base in Okinawa..
