The very fact that our government will not even discuss giving people the choice of ivermectin, tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

Fascinating. One factor to consider is that the Japanese have not allowed Covid to become a political issue in the same way as other parts of the world.

Im unvaccinated and suffer chrons disease. I fought for 2 weeks and kept deteriorating. The wife changed my supplements to Ivermectin and within 24 hrs my COVID symptoms started to change and my breathing got better after 48 hrs . I went from the bed I was in for 2 weeks to walking 2 miles. It literally saved my life.

Give people the freedom to choose Ivermectin and let them accept the risk, or make the vaccine companies LIABLE for adverse outcomes of the vaccine. We aren't allowed to take the "risk" of Ivermectin, but we are mandated to take the "risk" of the vaccine.

When all is said and done the "authorities " who vilified Ivermectin should be held accountable for all those preventable deaths that this 6 cent drug could have saved. Profit over life has never been more evident.

Ugh! I heard about this a few days ago. Same exact thing happened in Uttar Pradesh India. While of course I’m delighted Tokyo is caring more about their citizens than profits and agendas, I’m sad & angry as heck in America doctors are literally losing their license for prescribing Ivermectin. It’s not like the powers that be don’t have access to this information. Crimes against humanity!

My husband had a bad case of COVID, headache, and fever, he was given Ivermectin and within 48 hours these symptoms were gone and a week later he was just about fully recovered. I had COVID too and took Ivermectin and I am recovering nicely. I like you Doc, you have helped me so much and I like to see seniors!

Japan just doubled their all time high in cases. No retraction ? No correction?

Kinda depressing that we always have to keep in the back of our minds that pronouncements and recommendations given by health authorities may be significantly influenced by the profit motive of Pharma corporations.

Obesity in the US is 36%, 28% in the UK and 4% in Japan. Obesity introduces other health problems.

I live in Mexico and Ivermectin is easily available at all pharmacies and stores similar to Tescos.. 4 quid a packet...no prescription required 😊

I had Covid in March 2021 and was prescribed Ivermectin with other medicines. Seems a routine here in India.

I have a friend who has worked for my dad as his analytic chemist for 20 odd years has been saying Ivermectin could work and should be tried since the beginning but everyone wouldn't listen and laughed at him. xD I love it when the wheel of time exposes who speaks truth.

Anyone who's sabotaged the use of antivirals or other treatments in this pandemic should be investigated for potentially having blood on their hands.

A family sued a hospital to force them to give their relative ivermectin recently in the U.S.-he is recovered and now out of the hospital.

Commendable penmanship Dr John! I believe this is the first time I've ever been able to read a doctor's handwriting. Thanks for the great videos.

Dr John has proven to be a real asset. Never afraid to tackle subjects and always willing to accept change of opinion. A true sign of intelligence. Proud to share this country with him and wish more were like him.

Thank you appreciate all your work and the research behind it. I live in Australia and we are geographically considered part of the Asia Pacific Rim. My husband works for a big American company and is classified as part of the Asia Pacific Rim for business. So what I don’t understand is why places like Australia look to America for ALL medical advice, medical guidance and medical interventions when they are almost 100% driven by the pharmaceutical industry with big profit in mind - always. Why we aren’t looking to Japan and Singapore is beyond me. Even here in Australia we are beholden to the American model and it makes me so angry. I’ll take Japanese health advice over American health advice any day!

Ivermectin was never approved in Japan, so wtf is he talking about.

Thank you Dr. John. I'm an English teacher in Japan and as you can imagine, I teach all kinds of students, from epidemiologists to musicians. So often, we talk about why Japan has been relatively lucky compared to other countries. As a non-expert myself, we discuss the cultural differences more than genetics, but having videos like this, I'm ever so grateful that I have this resource as a reference to discuss the situation with my students.

Doctor John = medical integrity. In this era, this makes you a hero.

You are one of the few voices of reason in this Corona fiasco!

Hello Dr. John! Thanks always for videos. The situation in Japan has changed a lot for the better and we are grateful for it. However, I'd like to share a correction with what I think is either a misunderstanding or a mistranslation on the use of ivermectin here. I've seen many English people on twitter claiming that ivermectin became approved for use in Japan on August 13th. This is not the case. (1) The source article that caused this confusion, which you've kindly showed in your video, quotes Dr Haruo Ozaki talking about its viability for treatment. The relevant part is at the bottom of the article. In English, what he's saying is basically "I think it's unlikely that the drug does not work at all. I think we're at a point now where we can ask for approval to use [ivermectin] after giving informed consent to patients. However, we do need to conduct a thorough clinical trial and study it first." He does not state here that ivermectin is approved. The "approval"/"permission" here is not in the context of "yeah it's okay to use as long as we ask patients" but rather "we need to ask approval of the medical regulators to use this medicine." (2) You can confirm the status on Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PDMA) website. If ivermectin were approved it would appear in the latest FY 2021 file here www.pmda.go.jp/english/review-services/reviews/approved-information/drugs/0002.html It does not at the time of this comment. While the misunderstood approval news seems to be floating around everywhere on the English internet, there hasn't really been any such news here, nor is ivermectin being used regularly for the treatment of COVID-19 in either Tokyo or elsewhere in Japan. That said, people are able to find sources to buy it and take it if they so wish, at their own risk. One more tip: I highly recommend you try DeepL for translations from Japanese. Google Translate is sometimes absolute rubbish.

This makes me DAMN ANGRY! We're talking about hundreds of thousands or MILLIONS of lives in the balance.

I do like what I’m hearing. And I do like the questions John asks. This channel has been the most helpful, thorough and genuine source of information throughout the entire pandemics. Thank you John, I wish there more health professionals like you. So many people here recognise the helpful work you’re doing day in and day out. I’m super grateful and really admire you.

Don't apologize for sharing. It is much appreciated and generous of you to let us peek inside your thought processes.

The BMI of Asian people may be the easiest factor to consider when compared to Great Britain and the US. Last year when John's Hopkins published coronavirus death rates by country, I looked up the BMI of each country on the list. There was a linear correlation between deaths from corona and BMI.

Your ability to keep a straight face in certain puzzling situations is incredible.

His excitement over this recent information is infectious. By the way, my parents stressed decency as a person as being more important than acquisition of stuff. Your stuff (money) is not who you are--your character and your contributions to society are. Dr. Campbell embodies this ethic. We desperately need more people like him especially in these times when so much greed and corruption has been exposed.

In Japan very few people use Ivermectin. I'm one of them. Our government allowed doctor to use it but few doctor actually prescribe it. So I strongly believe Ivermectin is not relevant.

Is he really not going to acknowledge that none of these events ever happened? I'm starting to think "Dr." Campbell is a bit of a psycho.

our MOH in NZ has made it illegal to use ivermectin illegal to import it, these are our health officials, thank you for your efforts

I would like to draw everybody's attention to the fact that very similar development took place in India in April-May of this year. They managed to overturn a very nasty covid situation by distributing Ivermectin to positively tested people. Another point I would like to make: In contrast to Japan, India's vaccination is at the level of 30% if I am not mistaken. So this fact denies the correlation between the Covid case development and the level of vaccination. On the other hand, India and Japan data support a correlation between the Ivermectin usage and the overturn of the development.

“Not mentioned by the media in the U.S.” is an understatement.

Imagine giving people treatment for disease. What a strange idea.

The "76% fully vaccinated" statement is very misleading - that is their CURRENT status. At Japan's peak for new cases (Aug 26), only 43.9% of Japanese were fully vaccinated, and only 55% had at least one dose; meaning, the next day was the begin of the decline, with a far lower vaccination status than other developed countries. 1 month later on Sept 26, new cases were down 90% - NINETY PERCENT - and fully vaxxed population had only grown to 57.6%, and one dose population grew to 69.1%. I am extremely hesitant to give credit to the vaccine.

Japan just had it's third day in a row of record high cases, so I guess your ivermectin theory is toast.

Dr. Campbell, I need to show this video to a friend, we have been wondering about about treatments in other countries and what they have found. Thanks for all the research you do to bring this to us!

Dear John, it would be very interesting if you interviewed Norman Fenton (reputable statistician) regarding net mortality rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, stratified by age. Would be interesting to hear your opinion as a medical professional and a statistician provide perspectives on current ONS data.

I've watched you since day one, Dr. Campbell. Thank you for your integrity.

Haruo Ozaki, the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association. There was a news conference where he said that the drug may have benefits for COVID patients but needs to be studied further. The organization is not part of Japan’s Health Ministry, which oversees drug approvals and provides official health guidance. Ivermectin is not among the drugs approved for use against COVID-19 in Japan and neither the Tokyo government nor the Japanese Health Ministry recommends the drug to treat COVID-19.

John, live in Japan I’ve not heard anything or anyone taking ivermectin either prophylactically or in response to infection. you don’t explain at all that slight kink comes from delay in reporting due public holiday. Strengthening of mitigation measures during mambo and the fact Japan started vaccinating much later and peak of doses was around mid to late summer, very different to South Korea, additionally in general testing has been woeful at best of time. The strategy of treating was mainly around clusters and contact tracing as opposed to tests been widely available. Therefore it’s tricky to compare the shape of graphs between other countries and Japan. A sharp decline seems reasonable when it seems transmission is slowing due to the wide uptake of vaccine and immunity. The labs respond reducing the test output

People were talking about Iveremectin over a year ago as a treatment for covid. but they were just conspiracy theorists.

That poor doctor in Houston who gave her patients Ivermectin has been banned from practicing medicine. :(

Are you going to respond to the fact that Japan has not used ivermectin for covid?

Finally a guy who can communicate complex health information in a understandable manner without biases introduced.

Dear Dr. Campbell. I was lucky enough to be on forums where your channel was brought up in the beginning of the pandemic. As a some kind of academic myself it was so refreshing to go trough the studies and see the data analyzed compared to the clickbait fear journalism that world was going trough. So I can hands down say this channel has been the best source of information regarding the pandemic for the past two years now. I did have my moments of doubt when the vaccinations started and this channel (like almost the whole world) took it as this is it. My caution did not rise from your analyzis but from the fact that here in Finland all the senior executives of our national health institute (THL) are either former employees of Pfizer or has gotten huge research funds from them. And as I would call it, the propaganda has been very strong all the way to today. So now getting to the point I'm absolutely delighted to see that you are still following the facts and data and giving us information about alternatives and you will not hang yourself in the one truth. I have learned a lot watching your videos and I wish you all the best in the world! Greetings from Finland, Janne Rantanen

We know from an Indian study A year ago that Ivermectin has at least a six week prophylactic effect cutting rates of contracting covid by well over 90% in frontline healthcare workers. If their experience of using it AND achieving herd immunity is anything to go by, then a 5cent Per person Ivermectin pill is all that was ever needed. This all could have been over a year ago worldwide.

Ivermectin in Malaysia. Liverpool university study of data across many studies. John Campbell will not refer to these. They don’t match his interpretation. He will also delete this comment. You wait and see.

Japan protects its citizens and their best interests.

I am encouraged as a tanned half Japanese over 65 yr old of the genetic extra cover noted. Thank you Doctor . My mother, a Hiroshima Survivor of 90 will also be pleased to know what you have shared …

"Have I told you lately that I love you?" - this is for you, dr. John! Thank you for searching the truth and sharing it!!!👏👏👏❤

You could teach anything Dr. Cambell. For those that like to learn you are a treasure, Thank you

I am now Covid positive. In friday i feal some simptom of Covid. In sunday work test and shov positive. Inmidiatly I was start with duble dose Ivermectin and today a am normal man. My doctor cant bealive but thats thruth. Greetings from Croatia💪💪💪

John I’ve heard Mexico is also using ivermectin and I notice there cases are also very low. Could you please do a video on that or other countries using it as well. Great work. Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Campbell for your tireless efforts to keep us informed throughout this worldwide nightmare. I am weary of medical professionals that are not using the brains they were given and basically being derelict in their oaths to do no harm. Their pocketbook seems to be more important than saving lives, so THANK YOU.

When I google ivermectin and japan, I get articles saying ivermectin had nothing to do with the decline of covvie.

I’ve got an open mind towards ivermectin. However, i can’t see absolute proof in your stats. Japan always had a very low prevalence of covid (max around 5000 or so daily for 2 very short periods ) It jumped to over 20.000 after the olympics (which finished 8 August).Moreover - just checked - the number of new cases last month (febr ‘22) was close to 100.000 a day.

I know you don’t wade into politics, so let me just state the obvious: the western governments and media have lied about the efficacy of ivermectin from day one, and they continue to now. Thanks for playing things on the square, and reporting on this very important information.

I’m in Japan, and we bought Ivermectin from India twice, we have about a six month supply, taking the Ivermectin as a prophylactic in accordance with the FLCCC guidelines. My cardiologist told me that he would prescribe Ivermectin back in April, but there was no stock, so I bought it from India.

Why is this video titled Ivermectin? I'm surprised Dr. Campbell is using click bait tactics. Most of the clip is NOT about Ivermectin at all. He just tags it on at the beginning and end. Quite misleading!!!

After 14 months of Pfizer Vaccine adverse side effects I managed to get Ivermectin and after 4 hours the horrible side effects disappeared. My life is back!

In Canada they mock people who think it’s a good idea.

Well done John, just what we needed to hear. Politicians and big pharma companies will have to answer to their electorates for the deaths which could have been prevented in the West.

I appreciate that you don’t exclude other possibilities for the drop off in cases, and that you don’t exclude ivermectin because there other possibilities. This is real information, not coercion or bull.

It seems to me that the most important information is missing here: how widely was ivermectin utilised since August 13th? It seems to me that for the effect shown in that graphic to be attributable to ivermectin, a massive number of people would have needed to use it. So "ivermectin allowed" per se means close to nothing.

I would love for the Canadian public health authorities to allow ivermectin and see if there are interesting results in Canada too. It would be especially good timing as we are approaching our cold winter here. Thanks Dr. John for all your hard work and all the research you do. It’s much appreciated.

Absolutely fascinating. I'm happy for the Japanese people.

I live in Tokyo and have for nearly 22 years. People are not taking Ivermectin.

MY BROTHER WHO IS UNVACCINATED HAS COVID NOW AND TURNED FOR THE BETTER AS SOON AS HE TOOK IIIVVERRRMMEECTINN! I THINK IT SAVED HIS LIFE!!! HE IS DOING SO MUCH BETTER NOW AND NO HOSPITALIZATION!

Dr John's tightrope walking skills on full display in this one very impressive 🤨.

Great analysis, and refreshing to see a western medical professional that explores all the options rather than blindly following the dictates of the Covid 19 treatment guidelines which don't seem to be working very well in most of our countries right now.

January 12 and Japan is spikingback up over 13,000 today. So now what?

So glad you keep up the argument on this issue, you always include the opposition arguments as well Wich keeps the information honest. Thanks

It might also be important to point out that it was Japan that had returned millions of vaccine doses that were "tainted" early on in the pandemic when they were first being distributed. Is it any wonder they were more willing to explore "other options".

I love how it's presented on physical paper, so easy to follow.

I reside in Japan and have not received Ivermectin, but four vaccine doses. Also, a few weeks after this video, Japan's Covid cases went through the roof. I guess they either stopped using Ivermectin (but why would they?), or it was never used, let alone effective. One point Dr. Campbell makes is very interesting. He asks why mainstream media in the West did not publish this story. What he should have asked is why media in Japan didn't talk about it. The answer would be: There is no story.

Guy in Japan here...Google Translate from Japanese to English is terrible, even for simple, conversational phrases. Maybe that's why you got this wrong. Four weeks later, it's clear that much of what you are saying in this video isn't correct. Japan has made it almost impossible to travel here if you are not a Japanese national. If you do travel here, you are REQUIRED to isolate in a government-run hotel for a minimum of 3 days (up to 6 days depending on where you are coming from/have been in the last 14 days). In that time you are given two PCR tests and not allowed to leave the room. After that time is over, you continue to be tracked by app (you are REQUIRED to install this app before you leave the airport, and have to rent a phone if you don't have one that can run the app). You are required to self-isolate for the remainder of 14 days and are required to be recorded on video for 30 seconds up to two times a day, while also having your location tracked. Nearly everyone here wears a mask when they leave their house, even at 3am on an empty street. Most businesses have ceiling-to-countertop plastic shields up between cashiers and customers. Social distancing is taken seriously. Also, how does a drug used to treat people who have ALREADY been infected and developed COVID affect the transmissibility of the virus in the general public? Sure, it would shorten the recovery time of people in the hospital for treatment, but it doesn't stop the virus from being transmitted. And we know that asymptomatic people are an important vector for transmission, so how would ivermectin play a role there? It doesn't really add up that ivermectin played a significant role in that curve.

Dr. Campbell, it is videos like this as to why you having earned my highest respect, even at times when I disagreed with you. Even in those moments, I don't just throw out what you say but give thought to them. If only so-called "follow the science" was as willing to be open and give the pros and cons to all possibilities which is what science does when not captured and allowed to function at its best. Thank you sir and keep up the great work as here in the US people are starting to hear about you such as from folks like Jimmy Dore.

I remember here in Australia, early days of the pandemic, we had discovered the link with ivermectin and studies were being conducted. It was looking so very promising, it was all over our media, then as it was about to be declared, it all went silent and we never heard another thing from the Aussie scientists... 🤐🙊😶 ALL countries are guilty of the cover up of this easy safe way out. Could Japan be the one brave enough to declare some truth? 🤔🙏🏻 this certainly looks promising!

fb banns this video saying it's not approved... it's as clear as day who they serve... thank you dr Campbell for your work

In my country this has become a political issue. Even though preventive treatment with Ivermectin and other drugs proved effective in most places, journalists insist in saying they are dangerous and ineffective......

I'm so grateful for your analysis of this and all that's playing out... I'm so glad that I took delivery of Ivermectin from India, and the people from there, who are making sure it's available for us in all the countries where this effective medicine has been suppressed and banned, are offering a priceless service... It's a crime of the highest order that this medicine has been withdrawn due to it's efficacy in treating CV, only because the pharma companies wouldn't have got emergency clearance for their injections.

So common sense, medical integrity, and honesty is now considered a miracle. Interesting.

As always thank you for being a voice of reason, logic, and *science*.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that Ivermectin has been prescribed by physicians in South America to treat Covid-19 since last year already. Yet, the cases over there does look nothing like Japan's, see especially Brazil.

It’s rarely mentioned that Japan has low obesity and type two diabetes (US is extraordinarily high in contrast), and those two health conditions are major co-morbidities in so called covid deaths

I lived in Japan and have many friends all over the country. So here is what I know from trustworthy sources. Tokyo had by far the hardest measures, but never a real lockdown. Other cities such as Nagoya had nearly no measures, just canceled bigger evens for example. Most measures were never enforced by the state or prefectures but suggestions from the government, so some nightclubs and such (mostly run by yakuza) didn't close at all. Restaurants never closed, although far fewer people went out to eat during a long period. Mask wearing was before and is still a thing, and at the moment and probably for a long time close to 100% of people are wearing masks in public and at work. In clubs and in Izakayas (Bars) they are mostly not. This, a friend of mine said, seems to have become the new normal. Also Japan until a week ago completely shut off from travel and immigration. It has to be said that the Japanese are generally very concerned with cleanliness and are generally very healthy. Obesity is extremely rare.

Dr Campbell.. GOD Bless you and give you long life .. We need you!

In the movies, when people find an effective treatment for a highly contagious disease, the protagonists work to spread that information and get the medicine to everyone on the planet. In the real world, however...

I am half Japanese and lived in Japan for nearly 40 years. Yes, you can buy Ivermectin for humans in Japan. No prescrition necessary.

Wow thank you Dr Campbell! I’m so glad you reported on this - and from several angles! Very, very interesting. It hasn’t received a lot of mainstream media attention as yet, and I did wonder about a possible ivermectin connection. I think a lot of information is flying under the radar, but I did find a video anecdote on another video sharing platform (beginning with R), of a doctor in Japan successfully treating around 500 patients with ivermectin. The reaction of the interviewer at the end is priceless.

Just to let you know John, they have flagged this as false information on Facebook. My friend has been able to get ivermectin over the counter since aug 13 th and has been taking it for two months twice a week. They have 147 cases . The graphs don’t lie IMO .

I haven't found a single Japanese language website that claims Ivermectin has been allowed for COVID treatment in Japan on or since August 13 except for one that reports what they claim to be a fake news circulating in Taiwan. Not only that but Ivermectin clinical trial in Japan has only started this month (yesterday) and only at institutions in Aichi prefecture.

Japanese people eat fish and drink green tea daily. The obesity rate is near zero. We mustn't ignore such crucial factors.

Thank you for doing this video! I live in Tokyo and can now feel more confident in the reporting of the case numbers here.

Last month, a well-designed Ivermectin study in Malaysia showed NO benefit.

The Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association making that statement is not the same as "Ivermectin was allowed from then on". He wasn't the one in charge of policies, in fact to my knowledge the Tokyo Medical Association is not a government institution, he was making an open letter to the government at best. Maybe I'm missing something but you did not demonstrate that they started allowing ivermectin on the 16th of August

AMAZING! a miracle in Japan, Mexico city , and Uttar Pradesh. hmmmmm🤔

Thank you Dr Campbell. I am Japanese and I know a doctor who prescribes Ivermectin for Covid patients as an early stage treatment in my region. It is true that you can be treated with ivermectin in Japan but as far as I know, such treatment is not common.
