SCOOP!
Japan is determined not to protect Tokyo 2020 Olympic volunteers and make them perfect vectors for carrying deadly variants of COVID-19 out to Japan & beyond
We got ahold of the handbook for staff:
There’s no regular testing for volunteers nor will they be vaccinated

Note that those living in Japan, “MAY be asked to take a COVID-19 test before their participation in the games”
Hubris.
Japan had a racist & ethnocentric immigration policies during this long pandemic which required non-Japanese to be tested before entering but not Japanese

Maybe they will hand them Amabie figurines!

looks like volunteers won't have to quarantine either? Even if they're arriving from overseas..?? That's so dangerous

That certainly seems to be the the brunt of what’s written. The entire book seems full of magical thinking

As long as they don't go to bars or restaurants after 8 p.m., there's nothing to worry about

Yes because we keep forgetting that coronavirus is a nocturnal creature that drinks alcohol and it can’t hurt you if you go home before it gets dark. You can never catch it from going to your poorly ventilated workplace or riding the train

Imagine if volunteers have kids at home who go to school or school clubs? Yikes.

And also imagine if those volunteers live with their elderly parents/grandparents

At this point, I don’t know if is something possible but each country should forbid to send their athletes here.

Important safety questions for IOC.
Why won’t u test all volunteers every day for COVID19?
Why not vaccinate all staff not just athletes?
Why can’t you wait for the Olympics to be held when everyone in Japan is vaccinated?
How many deaths are acceptable?

They can go get privately tested at 50-250 dollars per day? Great sponsorship opportunity for the private testing companies. Throw some rings on those signboards!

Like they would have the faintest sense of self awareness

It's more like a single unnecessary death would be a shame
Osaka has people dying at home waiting to get into a hospital.
And even the Japanese media is expressing concern that prioritizing the Olympics is detracting from a growing problem.

Logically, this Covid-19 epidemic should really pull the curtain for anyone still believing US, EU, and Japan are some kind of smart and efficient dream society

Clearly, being vaccinated is not Japan's responsibility but the mother country (even though the consequences will impact THEIR residents). But punishing them is under Japanese law (aka taking away your visa in worst case).
None of the inconvenients for
government

Will the resident or national volunteers be able to go in and out of the Olympic village on a day-by-day basis during the events? They won’t be tested or vaccinated and they’ll be daily in contact with people from all over the world…
