I may be the least qualified to talk about this chilling
possibility but I do hope it would prompt the experts to open up and discuss it
to educate the masses and the policy makers of the unusually high risk the
people are being exposed to a deadly plague or biological epidemic. We are all
familiar with the obsession of the Australians in guarding their island
continent from an invasion of foreign microbes, organisms, bacteria or viruses
that could destroy lives and the ecology of their continent. If there is a
world wide epidemic that threatens the existence of the human race, Australia
is likely to be the last bastion where some humans and living things could
survive.
Japan
is another country that is fairly secured from such threats but through their
stringent immigration policy. Immigration is not like some simpleminded folks
chose to believe in, all about economic growth. There is national security
involved, not the political or military kind, but biological and chemical
invasion. The world is still threatened by many deadly diseases, SARS, bird
flu, MERS, ebola, TB and many others that the medical professionals would know
best. And the earth is infested with uncountable microbes, organisms, bacteria,
viruses and with many new ones being formed every second through mutation or
cross breeding. The water, soil, air and mud on the land are filled with all
kinds of organisms specific to a location.
Japan
is safe in the sense that it does not freely encourage a free flow of
immigrants to its islands. It is quite homogenous and those entering Japan
are few and with lower risk of being carriers of deadly diseases. Their jam
packed trains are clean and hygienic from this standpoint as the people are
mainly Japanese and have lesser risk of introducing new diseases.
Our reckless immigration policy for economic growth brings
in millions of foreigners from the far flung nooks and corners of the earth,
from little 3rd and 4th World villagers. And these people
bring along the microbes, bacteria and organisms that are new to our clinically
clean citizens with no immunity or defences against them. And the probability
of them passing on to the citizens is so high given the ratio of 1 foreigner to
1 citizen or higher, and the close proximity when they are jam packed in the
trains, exchanging their breaths daily many times a day.
Our super clean and unprotected children are also highly
exposed to these organisms and diseases carried by the foreigners without
anyone raising any alarm or care a hoot if they are infected and the diseases
spread wildly. The very same school buses that ferried our innocent, hygenic
and angelic children to schools every morning are the same buses that fetched
the foreign workers all over the islands at night. And they did not disinfect
the buses before picking up the children. Get the picture?
But who cares as long as it is not my children that are going
to be infected, like NIMBY is ok. The elite would only wake up if they know
that their children and themselves are just as vulnerable to such diseases as
their children are exposed to other children in schools and they themselves are
exposed to the train commuters in the office or food courts or common space and
leisure areas.
The whole island is highly exposed to deadly diseases
because of our reckless economic policy of allowing millions and millions of
people into this little place. And we can be history just as fast as the
immigrants come in and leave after their sojourns here. We keep changing them like
tissue papers and waiting for that one batch that is unclean to do the damage.
Immigration is not just economics. There is a big health
risk involved. Would the health experts like to discuss this subject openly to
create awareness? Have they been talking or have their mouths been zipped? This
is a deadly chilling tale that is waiting to happen, waiting to be told,
waiting to wipe the population of this city to oblivion.
