My daughters (22 and 19 respectively) are getting jabbed on the 30th and 31st of this month

The relief I felt when my kids got the shots was far better than the relief I felt when I got mine.

How much is this being driven by the greed and corruption of the IOC?

Does ticket sale money go to the IOC or the organizing committee?

I would have to think the IOC gets a piece of the action.

In the current fourth version of the OCOG budget, the IOC contribution is listed with a total of 1.3 billion USD: 800 million USD as a share of IOC’s worldwide TV revenue, and 500 million USD as a share of the IOC’s worldwide sponsorship program known as The Olympic Partners (TOP).

However, it all depends on the successful staging of the Games. If the Games are cancelled, most of the money that has already been transferred to TOCOG, will most likely have to be repaid to the IOC.

But even if the Games are held successfully, in theory Tokyo may receive nothing at all from the IOC. The contract stipulates under point 14:

“The IOC shall be under no binding obligation of any kind towards the OCOG or any third party to grant any IOC contribution. The IOC will be entirely free to decide, at its sole discretion, and based upon criteria and factors entirely of its own selection and determination, whether or not to grant any such IOC contribution."

At this point the HCC is clear and strict. TOCOG has to pay to the IOC:

• 7.5 percent of all cash payments from domestic sponsorship and suppliers.
• 5 percent of those domestic sponsorship contracts if delivered as Value in Kind (VIK) by the sponsors. In that case TOCOG has to convert VIK in cash and has to transfer the amounts to IOC’s accounts.
• 7.5 percent of the ticketing and domestic hospitality revenue.
• Additionally, some minor parts: 3 percent of the revenue of the coin program and 1 percent of the stamp program.

A leaked list discloses how much cash the IOC paid for the 2016 Olympics in Rio

For the first time it can be revealed in detail how much cash the IOC paid to an Olympic host. Investigative journalist Jens Weinreich publishes the list of 117 payments to Rio 2016 in a worldwide exclusive in his magazine SPORT & POLITICS. The revelation helps to understand one of the most...

Let's also take a moment to give a big "WTF" to the fact that only 1-2% of Japan's population is vaccinated. As organized, technology driven and duty bound and respectful of others as their culture is, that is unbelievable to me. There is no way I would have expected the US to be better than them in that regard.

Japan has a distrust of vacccines going back about 50 years

Why Japan took so long to start Covid-19 vaccinations, even with the Olympics looming

With the Olympic games due to start in Tokyo in July, Japan had every reason to move quickly to approve a Covid-19 vaccine and begin inoculations.

(Australia - .67% of the population have received 1 dose)

Media needs to report this accurately - For example, women who take birth control pills have a much higher risk of developing blood clots than they do taking the AZ vaccine. Should we pull all birth control pills in addition to letting valuable vaccine doses go to waste?!?

BC province wide cases reported today - 357

I mean, southern states don't like the stereotypes assigned to them, yet they continue to do the very things that reinforce those stereotypes.
