Let’s change the subject and this is today’s Newspaper headline. Can you read it?

ホッカイドウシンブン、ワクチンパスポート
野村
Yeah vaccine passport. They’re now thinking of introducing the vaccine passport. So any person who is traveling abroad will be supposed to bring the passport which carries the certificate of whether or not he has been vaccinated or not, and so that will be really helpful in eliminating formality of taking long time to check and confirming safety of the people trying to immigrate.

Actually, when I went to Indonesia, I met a German lady. That German lady. I think her passport has an attachment to it. Along with that passport, there is also another document attached to it and it shows her the vaccines that she took. Uh, you know, before traveling. So this is to prevent her from bringing virus back to Germany. You know, if she comes home. In that case I think, this is not really a new thing to some countries. This is new to many countries, more than before, but in Japan. Have you done this before?
野村
I’ve never heard of it.
アービン
Anyway, I think that yes it is useful at the same time you know it’s a little bit sad, because if you want to travel. And you will be deprived of your right not to, or you will be deprived of your right not to be vaccinated. Yeah, yeah, it’s like you are forced to have a vaccine. So you cannot travel without the vaccine, so it’s unfair in a sense that you lose your freedom if you don’t get injected, right?
野村
Oh yeah, you’re right.
