It's just another layer of maddening, how the ubiquity of these heart-breaking stories has the effect of lessening in impact over time. Our outrage can't sustain. (Like violence on TV desensitizes kids to violence I guess.) What we are having to integrate is just astounding.
Let's take it as progress even if evidence doesn't translate into certain camps.
Steve, Thx for the reporting, sharin' yer plight (said here in Virginia drawl).
Preemptively, I say I have no influence.BUT...
A good friend of mine is on UVA Darden's board of directors. If you want to explore this as a path and fits MBA aspirations, I will ask my bud to advise & usher your application if y'all are a good fit.
You never know: they're more (academic, experience) and less (admittedly wokadope but could work Because Age-ism) discriminatory in choosing candidates.
My hope for you expressed in the other recent reply was not meant to be flip or callous (about there being other roads to choose).
I'm in my sixties, Aunt just passed 'with COVID,' everyone around me jabbed and unhealthy, so I project my own desire for detaching and finding a better path.
Great last line! Thanks for this, Steve. My BiL with turbo cancer can be added to the list. They've taken him off chemo and put him on hospice. He's so sad about his daughter. My SiL said she came back into the hospital room to find them in bed together, holding hands. She's in her second year of college. So sad.
When I asked my doctor to prescribe Ivermectin for me, he declined, saying that in Japan Ivermectin was only approved for use in horses! Kinda dumb, especially for a Japanese invention! Humans have been using it all over the world for decades without any adverse events/reactions.
Very sorry about your mom.
Also: Many thanks for your reporting from Japan.
Nice work mate, hooe Japan is still treating you well.
Aussie is a bloody champ as well, would love to shake his hand and tell him well done you are making a difference.
If I go to Japan again would love to say gday and shake yours as well.
Keep it up Steve
Edit- so sorry about you mum mate, no matter what it leaves a hole in your heart larger then you can imagine.
She would be proud of you that I'm sure of.
My condolences to you for the loss of
your mother. The reading is sadly fascinating, and articulates what is intuited here in America but assiduously suppressed.
Thanks Steve for the link and anecdotes.

Your post reminds me of another brave Japanese doctor (in August 2021):
"Tokyo's Medical Assoc. Chairman holds press conference recommending Ivermectin to all COVID patients"
