Japanese TV stations reported lies that differed from the CDC's view.

Read: Internal CDC document on breakthrough infections - The Washington Post

According to the CDC's internal report in the above article, it states the following


Delta variant vaccine breakthrough cases may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases


However, the Japanese TV station NTV and other stations reported the following.


According to CDC data, the risk of serious illness is reduced by a factor of 10 in people vaccinated against the delta strain. On the other hand, the risk of infection is only one-third. Comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated people across the U.S., the risk of unvaccinated people is eight times higher risk of infection, 25 times higher risk of hospitalization, and 25 times higher risk of death.


It is easy to think of this report as intentionally providing false information to viewers, rather than misinformation.

To get a driver's license in Japan

Image
Sample image of a Japanese driver's license. The fields for all licenses are filled in. Even though there are 15 types of licenses, there are only 14 fields, so two types of towing licenses are listed together in one field. It is quite expensive to get a driver's license in Japan. It also takes about a month to get a driver's license even if you are a good driver, and several months or more if you are not a good driver. In Japan, it is not allowed for a person without a driver's license to practice driving on a real road with a licensed driver in the passenger seat. For this reason, there are many facilities with small courses that resemble roads, called driving schools , all over Japan. At the driving school, students take classes on traffic laws and practice driving on the course in the school's facilities, and those who pass each test get a provisional driver's license to practice driving on real roads. You can graduate from the driving school after practi...

Non-tariff barriers for Japanese imports.

Image
  My Toyota GAIA Limited and my friend's Ford Mustang GT, both 1999 models. In Japan, there are no tariffs on imported cars, but because Japanese cars are not compliant with the international VIN code and are Galapagos cars, maintenance shops in town can only obtain maintenance manuals for cars sold for the domestic market, However, with regard to imported cars, even if the car was imported and sold by an authorized dealer in Japan, the imported car dealers sell the imported car at a high price, looking at the customer's footsteps with the image strategy that the imported car is a "luxury car" more than it really is, and they charge a high price for maintenance. Only millionaires like AFJ people can easily afford to buy them. In addition to this, even authorized dealers have to wait a long time for replacement parts for repairs to arrive, and I think the problem is that the nature of the market forces fewer and fewer imported cars. In addition, even for models sold i...
