Japan very early on was demonstrating competencies we have still not embraced. They performed tissue examinations to get results they published, on where the LNP ended up by tissue type, and alerted everyone to the proclivity for it to go to ovaries and bone marrow. They examined the contents of vials and found large contaminations, and returned 1.5 million doses to the manufacturer. They suspended their vax program and made ivermectin freely available. The Asians already had a cultural norm to stay home if ill, and mask if you had to go out with sniffles or cough; the only time they are useful. Many places still embrace daily shopping for the evening meal, so their ingredients are high quality and very fresh.
