If you read it, you’d learn otherwise. Far from being required, it’s not even approved!

Here’s another article highlighting that the Japanese government is concerned about people mail-ordering it because it’s unapproved:

So … care to provide a source for any of your claims? If it’s mandatory, I’m sure it would be easy to point to the official government protocols.

Looks like Ivermectin is recommended The Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association but not mandatory.

Why did you not just search it? You could have found this out for yourself.

That’s much weaker than your original claim that it was mandatory for the entire country, and that story about requesting approval is a year old. If you read the recent information I gave you, note that this approval has not happened.

But it still proved the point that Ivermectin is a commonly regarded treatment for covid.

No, it showed that one guy a year ago said it could be considered. His peers did not agree and year later it's still not approved because the evidence simply doesn't show it having any effect outside of a few flawed studies which have not held up to examination.

You didn’t debunk the 200 members of congress using ivermectin, you didn’t debunk the history of ivermectins use for coronaviruses and you describe chair of Tokyo Medical Association as “some dude”. You didn’t debunk the other poster mentioning New Jersey’s use of ivermectin either.

Do you think you might have a problem here?
