Not if they're coming from a country with a risk of yellow fever. You're really setting up very narrow condition in which someone might not need a certain vaccine. I'm saying that …

Down below is someone commenting that they had to get a yellow fever vaccine to visit Kenya. Maybe you're not visiting these countries. But frankly, nobody cares. Millions are. And…

I have absolutely no clue why you're continuously focusing exclusively on Japan to avoid the fact that vaccine/immunization mandates have global precedents and they've existed fore…

Requiring immunization is a cost-saving measure for countries accepting travelers. The last thing a poor country needs is richer people coming in, getting sick, and ending up hospi…

Try applying for a visa to some countries and yes, they will ask. Some countries deny visas to first world royalty for disease history. China denied people with HIV for a long time…

> I have never once seen a Japanese traveler required to produce any medical paperwork along with their passport (and I have flown a lot between both countries). That's because a s…

> Nope. Absolutely wrong. Here's a list of countries and their various vaccine requirements for entry. Despite what you think, there's a lot of them and these requirements predate …

With travel at least, countries have the right to deny people for any reason whatsoever. Many already mandate various vaccines for entry (even for diseases not transmissible betwee…

One problem is that people are self-treating with it. Eyeballing measurements of medicine bought at a farm supply store and sticking it in your child's mouth isn't good. Furthermor…

> If I had the option to have purchased it with 1920x1080, I would have. For what purpose? I can’t imagine a single advantage to lower resolution.

Capsule hotels would be a massive space upgrade compared to the "seats" they offer today.

> People move up from those starter jobs, they don't stay there forever. The domain of “starter jobs” is rapidly expanding. It used to just be fry cooks at burger chains as well as…

What's the relevance of mask wearing when it comes to business? Never heard anyone complaining about business being bad because people have to wear shoes.

My worry about the anti-plastic bag push is we're going to rush head first into even less sustainable solutions. With many people not wanting to carry a bag at all times and global…

Yes, the vaccinated still get covid. But they're not being hospitalized in significant numbers. The issue is hospitalization. Hospitals have indeed been overwhelmed[1] and consider…

> I'd have been genuinely scared to death about the ozone layer being depleted or acid rain making the planet unlivable by now, yet here we are. It's retroactively very extreme sou…

> Instead of us focusing on how we can improve our hospital systems for future pandemics, we vilify the unvaccinated for political points. Because globally, yes, they are the cause…

Mocking deaths came about people antivax people have been actively lying (take animal meds and herbal supplements to be immune) and threatening (just look at the endless mounds of …

A bunch of hospitals are more strained now than they ever were. Covid's more infectious now and some staff have quit.

They're domesticated versions of wild animals that existed long before humans. And if you let a pig out of its pen, it'll very quickly return to its instinctual lifestyle and absol…

Not every religion has a violent god who threatens death and eternal suffering for operating a mouse and keyboard on a Saturday, yet people of other religions are all granted equal…

Football fanatics don't see missing a game as a choice either.

Disagree. There's no reason the state should say one person's personal choice to follow a religion allows them to forever be exempt from Saturday work, but someone who chooses to f…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Joe Biden is a political leader in Australia. I'm not sure if he's even Australian.

Unfortunately, yeah. Company says it's the "future of business" and consumers are pushing for it, not companies. Then one day the company switches over to a new business model to m…
