By an inconvenient truth, the medical will be forced into a sleepless.

Until just before the Olympics, the media had been loudly advocating that health care and the economy be given top priority. However, as soon as the Olympics started, they were all chanting spiritualism and working on TV broadcasts. I feel the lack of moderation in such a flip-flopping media trend. On the other hand, on August 6, 2021, the 76th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the number of people infected with coronaviruses in the world exceeded the 200 million mark. The next day, August 7, the number of people infected with coronavirus in Japan finally surpassed one million. After the closing ceremony scheduled for tomorrow, August 8, the media will argue for the cancellation of the Paralympics, citing the rapid increase in domestic cases. Social networking sites confronting TV broadcasts will take advantage of people's fears. And they will send out a lot of false information about the coronavirus vaccine. The business model of earning advertising revenue by increasing the number of accesses to one's website by citing "infodemic" information that inflames the public is not literate. In times of information confusion and emergency, there should be stronger regulations separate from freedom of expression.

   Did a new coronavirus outbreak occur in Wuhan due to mankind's continued destruction of the global environment? The reason for this is still unknown. However, the process of the pandemic that spread from China to the whole world was not caused by the natural order of things. It was caused by human migration. Over the past year and a half, the world has accumulated a lot of empirical data on the spread of infection by human flow. However, the fact that the third wave of infections increased after the Go to Travel and the fifth wave, which is now rapidly increasing after the Olympics, are both not natural disasters. They are man-made disasters that could have been prevented by a change in policy. The government bears a heavy responsibility for forcing the medical field into sleeplessness by easily loosening the reins on the unnecessary and urgent, which is "An Inconvenient Truth".
