Although back in the U.S., I have lived in Japan a total of 15+ years and speak Japanese. I watch Japanese TV news regularly. Although I know from friends, etc. that Japan is using Ivermectin, very little about Ivermectin is reported on major network news shows there. Seems like the government is a bit schizophrenic about Ivermectin. Even so, it has saved a lot of people even if the Japanese government is a bit embarrassed about it.
