They also protect the people around us (some of whom may be unable to get certain vaccines, or might have failed to respond to a vaccine, or might be susceptible for other reasons). We know that a disease that is apparently under control can suddenly return, because we have seen it happen, in countries like Japan, Australia, and Sweden

Japan earthquake: Tsunami hits north-east - BBC News
This is the kind of earthquake that hits once every 100 yearsAkira Tanaka, Restaurant worker In pictures: Japan quakeProduction halted at plantsGoogle aids quake victims In other developments: Four trains are missing along the coast, says Japan Railways; and a ship carrying 100 people was swept away Fire has engulfed swathes of the coast in Miyagi prefecture's Kesennuma city, one-third of which is reportedly under water A major explosion hit a petrochemical plant in Sendai; further south a huge blaze swept an oil refinery in Ichihara city, Chiba prefecture Some 1,800 homes are reported to have been destroyed in the city of Minamisoma, Fukushima prefecture A dam burst in north-eastern Fukushima prefecture, sweeping away homes, Kyodo news agency reports At least 20 people were injured in Tokyo when the roof of a hall collapsed on to a graduation ceremony In a televised address, Prime Minister Naoto Kan extended his sympathy to the victims of the disaster. Japan quake: video reports Quake: Wave forecast map Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate coastal areas in the states of California, Oregon and Washington.The biggest waves of more than 6-7ft (about 2m) were recorded near California's Crescent City, said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.A tsunami warning extended across the Pacific to North and South America, where many other coastal regions were evacuated, but the alert was later lifted in most parts, including the Philippines, Australia and China.Strong waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, damaging dozens of coastal communities

March 11, 2011, an epic trifecta of disasters hits japan -- an earthquake , a tsunami and a nuclear meltdown, and an 18-year-old american boy claims he predicted it all
Earthquake Facts and Statistics
See: How much bigger is a magnitude 8.7 earthquake than a magnitude 5.8 earthquake? The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Ground Motion and Energy Magnitude Change Ground Motion Change (Displacement) Energy Change 1.010.0 timesabout 32 times 0.53.2 timesabout 5.5 times 0.32.0 timesabout 3 times 0.11.3 timesabout 1.4 times This table shows that a magnitude 7.2 earthquake produces 10 times more ground motion than a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, but it releases about 32 times more energy
One also has to wonder if the integrity of the suppression pool (torus) is ok, because if the drywell failed, it is highly likely that the torus is damaged. posted 14 March 2011 at 1:27 AM by em1ss Has there been any statement about precisely why the diesel generators at Fukushima Daiichi failed? The IAEA said it was the tsunami, but what was the mechanism? posted 14 March 2011 at 1:34 AM by Sovietologist Hmmm, good time line link here
Regarding the slow response of the Japanese government to international offers of help, he says that they needed to assess the situation and decide what was needed first.

19, 2015 Some of Japan's most prominent companies announce largest pay increases in years, including Toyota, Panasonic and Hitachi; announcements are most substantial results from efforts on part of Prime Min Shinzo Abe to pressure country's businesses to raise workers' pay, part of broader economic growth plans. 20, 2015 Japan's savings rate, long one of highest in world, is minus 1.3 percent, with its citizens spending more than they earn; by comparison, United States savings rate was 5.5 percent in January; Japan's economic recovery could be complicated as previous generations of savers retire and tap their nest eggs; about 40 percent of unmarried adults are zero savers, as are about 30 percent of families
The Atlantean Conspiracy: Japan Tsunami Caused by HAARP?
Why Japan? Perhaps they need a presence there for something upcoming, or some of the other items mentioned, or a kind of shakedown, as it were, as a warming of some kind to go along with an agenda. just seen a sky news clip of the tsunami and it was mentioned by the news reader that that epicentre of the quake was about 6 miles deep which seems to be another classic trait of most of the earthquakes of recent years again possibly indicating the use of haarp
Judgement Day is December 21. 2012
Like the boy who cried wolf, end of the world predictions that have come and gone without incident in the past have left people wondering why this time it will be different. Religious scholars are suggesting that Jesus will return to Earth on or before December 21st to save the chosen ones in the Rapture, sparing them from the destruction that is about to occur

Lessons from the 2011 Japan Quake : Oceanus Magazine
In addition, the Kuroshio appeared to act as both a highway and a barrier, carrying much of the radiation quickly away from shore while also largely preventing it from spreading south. Initial results have shown that radionuclides from the reactors mixed quickly into the ocean and were diluted to levels of naturally occurring radiation within a few tens of miles of the coast

The 2011 Japan Tsunami Was Caused By Largest Fault Slip Ever Recorded
It's difficult to say whether something like this could happen elsewhere, said Wang, because no other submarine trench has as many instruments monitoring it. But because the plates are wedged together at this trench, that horizontal displacement still managed to thrust up enough seawater to produce the killer tsunami that hit Japan
Radioactive water was recently discovered leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which suffered a level 7 nuclear meltdown after the tsunami. In some regions, such as Miyagi and Fukushima, only 58 percent of people headed for higher ground immediately after the earthquake, according to a Japanese government study published in August 2011
Magnitude 9.0 - NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
Unlike the recent magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the 1933 earthquake did not occur as the result of thrust faulting on the subduction-zone plate interface, but rather within the Pacific plate just seaward of the Japan Trench. Modeling of the rupture of this earthquake indicate that the fault moved upwards of 30-40 m, and slipped over an area approximately 300 km long (along-strike) by 150 km wide (in the down-dip direction)
