        The opening of the Olympic Games is a pleasure for the beneficiaries.

        Embarrassing. Should've just called off the games or mandatory Vax in Japan quickly bc they are only at 20% or something compared to USA over 50% so they are way behind. They shouldn't hold games in a country under 50% Vax rate. If that means no games or delayed gms. Sorry.

        This is going to be such a shit show. So many athletes are going to test positive and get disqualified and the winners are all going to have an asterisk next to their names as "Someone who might have lost if everyone got to compete."

        They keep calling it the Olympics but it looks more-and-more like a Tokyo dumpster fire / train wreck / "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to," karaoke event.

        All I can think about is how many careers will be ended due to Covid damage and long covid symptoms?
