No. They are studying it and at least one doctor is reported to be using it and countless individuals are trying it just as in the States, but it has NOT been approved for use against Covid. These past two weeks I have received several emails from employers about scheduling the 3rd shot, they do not even bother calling them boosters, for students and employees. Last night’s Japan Times reports that the Pfizer shot has been approved for children and they will roll out the vaccination program for kids 5 and up in March.
Today they will announce the most recent “lockdown Light (TM)” for omicron, our 5th for what is now the 6th wave of Covid. We are going out to dinner at one of our local resturants tonight as he was forced to remain closed 11 months last year and off and on again through out 2020.
Do not believe what you are hearing about Japan. I have lived here for over 20 years and have long been appalled by the inaccuracies in news coverage on Japan in overseas media.
No problem. This has become one of the reason for being in the stack, to learn what is going on elsewhere and to try to set the record straight about how things are in Japan.
You would be shocked at how many can come to learn that most everything the media says on a certain topic is false yet still believe 100% of what that same media says on all other subjects.
Hasn't Japan approved and utilized ivermectin?

Thank you for this clarification. I am sorry to hear that Japan is no better, and maybe worse than the first world Western countries.

Our media would not report news accurately? Shocked! 😂
