. A poll was conducted on the Tokyo Olympics?


The Sankei Shimbun, a right-wing media, conducted a survey related to the Tokyo Olympics with Fuji News Network (FNN) on the 23rd and 24th with 1,104 voters nationwide.

First of all, when asked about the possibility of hosting the Olympics this summer, 55% answered that "Cancellation is also inevitable", and 29% said "It will be compelling to replay."

84.1% of all respondents were pessimistic about the event this summer.

On the other hand, only 15.5% of the respondents said, "We can hold it as scheduled."



Are there any other negative polls in Japan on hosting the Olympics this summer?


In a poll conducted by Kyodo News on the 9th to 10th, 35% of respondents "must cancel" and 45% of respondents "must re-postponed."

At the same time, in the Asahi Shimbun survey, 51% said they should "replay" and 35% said they should "cancel".

According to the survey, 86% of all respondents were found to have a negative stance on hosting this year's Olympics.



The problem is the corona situation in Japan.

Do you have a vaccination plan in place?


The Japanese government's desire to create collective immunity with the corona19 vaccination by October at the latest, it seems difficult for now.

Rasmus Bech Hansen, CEO of Airfinity, a UK pharmaceutical market research firm, told Reuters on the 24th that "Japan will not reach the 75% vaccination rate, which is the standard for population immunity before October." "We rely on vaccines, and it seems unlikely that Japan will get a lot of vaccines at this time."

Japan has signed a contract to purchase 314 million vaccines with pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Modena, and AstraZeneca, but Japan's initial vaccination plan relies on Pfizer vaccine, and Pfizer will provide priority to the US. Some point out that there is a supply and demand problem.

For reference, in Japan, more than 4,000 new confirmed cases per day, and 50 to 100 deaths per day.
