        If Japan cancels the Olympics, they should never be selected to host, again.

        They did. But they lifted it. People in interviews at train stations one after another said in TV polls it was too soon

        If Japan hold the Olympics in 2021, every country should boycott it. Japan can’t even vaccinate its own people.

        No one can go to it. Only the athletes tickets will only be sold to Japanese citizens

        In the situation under only 2% of our people are vaccinated, our government’s only concerns seems to be about holding an Olympic game. Add to that, Tokyo is about to go into third state of emergency without enough compensation. This is insane.
