Covid cases are down in Japan.
So maybe the rule obeying Japanese have managed to overcome the virus.
Or has the virus mutated? Self Extinction, as happened with SARS?
Or could it be the medicine that must not be named?
Duterte okayed Ivermectin use with a physician prescription on Sept 11.

So is part of this due to Ivermectin use, or is it because of the vaccines? Or both?
I should note Ivermectin is used for both treatment and cure, but no one seems to be bothered studying how many, which folk, or why it is being taken.
Shouldn't docs know about this?
Shouldn't docs know about this?
And we also need a study of who is taking what: Because here in the Philippines, they use herbs and traditional treatments all the time, including chinese and Philippine herbs for covid. Which the government says, probably correctly, don't work (these herbs loosen Phlegm and bronchospasm so make you feel better and are widely used for chest colds).
We bought some Ivermectin to have on hand just in case (because although we can buy it in the pharmacy with a doctor's prescription, the pharmacy quickly ran out of the medicine last month. So we sent a prescription to an on line pharmacy so we would have it available just in case.)
All of us, and our employees, have had the vaccine (some alas only the weak Chinese vaccine, but hey, it's better than nothing).
But my stepson loves Alex Jones and is anti Vax, so I started him on a prevention protocol just in case.
Don't know if it works, but his leg rash disappeared, meaning it was probably due to scabies. (no, he never sees doctors for such minor things).
Over 30 million have been vaccinated in the Philippines, out of a population of 110 million....and the news is still stressing the importance of precautions and vaccines. There is now news about giving out boosters to elders, even though the vaccination level in the general population is low.
They have started giving it to kids so they can return to in class room learning, and our anti vax maid got her son a shot so he can go to school again.
Dr. C. keeps discussing that some of the side effects of the mRNA vaccines might be from accidental injection into an artery, and notes in the USA they don't aspirate to check for this before giving the shot. I didn't notice if the nurse aspirated the needle when I got the vaccine, but when I took the dog for his rabies shot, the vet did aspirate before the injection, so presumably it is still the custom here.

update: This is the only article I could find that mentions Ivermectin use in the Philippines. From a Middle Eastern business website.
In countries such as the Philippines, people are buying ivermectin directly to use themselves as a COVID treatment.
But even though I suspect it is being used a lot, no one seems to be checking how often it is used, or if it is being used as prevention or only as a cure when people get sick.
And it annoys me when I read an article like this that cites one study that found the drug useless, but not the later analysis of studies that shows it works.
