Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is set to resign, national broadcaster NHK reported on Friday, adding that he wanted to avoid causing problems to government due to a worsening of his chronic health condition.

Speculation about Abe’s health and tenure had risen after he made two visits to a hospital recently. He has battled the chronic disease ulcerative colitis for years.

Questions about Abe’s health have been swirling since he made a previously unannounced visit to hospital for medical checks on August 17, and then returned for further checks a week later, on Monday.

Abe, 65, ended his first term as prime minister after just a year in the job, in part due to crippling health problems.

Even before the recent hospital visits, there had been reports claiming the prime minister was vomiting blood, as well as questions over his limited public appearances and decision to avoid holding a press conference to address criticism of his handling of the coronavirus.

chief cause of ulcerative colitis is autoimmune disorder

probably poor eating habits from years of overwork and stress led to his condition.

Previous studies have linked certain gut microbes to autoimmune disease, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. A team led by Dr. Martin Kriegel at Yale investigated whether microbes breaching the gut barrier were involved in autoimmune disease.
...

Finally, the researchers examined liver biopsies from people with autoimmune diseases. They found E. gallinarum in liver biopsies from three people with systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease that can damage tissues all over the body. Similarly, the scientists found E. gallinarum in liver biopsies from most people tested who had autoimmune liver disease. Biopsies from healthy liver transplant donors did not have the microbe.

Taken together, these findings show that, in those who are prone, E. gallinarum can move through the gut barrier and into other organs to drive autoimmune responses. The results suggest new approaches to developing therapies for autoimmune diseases.

“The vaccine against E. gallinarum was a specific approach, as vaccinations against other bacteria we investigated did not prevent mortality and autoimmunity,” Kriegel says. “Treatment with an antibiotic and other approaches such as vaccination are promising ways to improve the lives of patients with autoimmune disease.”

First statement say vaccine is useless and the next sentence says that vaccine is promising. Why so confusing, just say that vaccine is useless, that is all.

Ruling LDP gears up for race to choose successor

TOKYO -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to announce his resignation on Friday afternoon, having apparently concluded that his deteriorating health will make it difficult to carry on.

The prime minister, who is a few weeks shy of his 66th birthday, appears to have reached the decision after two visits to a Tokyo hospital in quick succession.

His cabinet will resign en masse as soon as the ruling Liberal Democratic Party elects a new president. The party is likely to hold the vote in September.

Word of Abe's plan to quit sent the Nikkei Stock Average plunging in afternoon trading. The benchmark index dropped over 600 points, or 2.6%, at one point to 22,594, while the yen strengthened to 106.11 per dollar. Share prices did rebound and closed 326 points, or 1.4%, lower on the day as investors awaited Abe's news conference for more details.

Abe, who abruptly ended his first stint as prime minister over ailing health in 2007, has led the government since December 2012. This year has been particularly challenging, with the coronavirus taking a heavy social and economic toll on the country. Amid the crisis, Abe decided to forego his annual summer vacation at his villa in the Yamanashi prefectural village of Narusawa.

The prime minister had reportedly complained to aides of fatigue, and members of the media noticed him walking with difficulty.

The LDP has already begun preparing to choose a new party president. Former LDP Secretary General Shigeru Ishiba is likely to run, along with LDP Policy Research Council Chairman Fumio Kishida.

Typically, the party would hold a leadership vote among lawmakers and regular members. In the past, the campaign period has usually lasted seven to 12 days.

Another option would be to hold an election involving lawmakers from both Diet chambers and representatives of Japan's 47 prefectures.

In the interim, there is a possibility that the government will recommend Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga or Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso to take over the current cabinet.

The term of Abe's successor will expire at the end of September 2021, when Abe's term would have ended.

Because Abe has nothing to hide in his govt.

First statement say vaccine is useless and the next sentence says that vaccine is promising. Why so confusing, just say that vaccine is useless, that is all.

the devil is in the details you glossed over...
"...as vaccinations against other bacteria we investigated did not prevent mortality and autoimmunity."

other bacteria were not responsible for illness. but this one is, E. gallinarum.

so vaccination against E. gallinarum will be helpful.

He has to step down because the Tokyo Olympic games delay has caused too much damage to their already fragile economy. Hopefully the next PM won't be too nationalistic

 

[laksaboy]

His successor will be much more anti-CCP.

Japan joins Five Eyes (Six Eyes), the shackles of Article 9 in its Constitution will be removed.

China better prepare its anus. Banzai!

chief cause of ulcerative colitis is autoimmune disorder
can't be caused by environmental as japan is clean and hygienic

can also be h. pylori as it attacks the duodenum, gut and stomach lining. jippun is known for high incidence of h. pylori, stomach cancer, ulcerative colitis cases as they consume raw seafood in sextremely high quantities. jippun environment is not that clean. land and sea highly polluted from fuckyoushima nuclear plant disaster.
