For the first time, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare is including the number of deaths attributed to the COVID shots among the statistics it publishes. The first year to include the data is 2023.
According to the ministry, 37 people died due to having received a COVID shot in 2023; these are all people whose death certificates state that they died due to the shot. An official from the ministry noted that the determination of causation “is based solely on the judgment of the doctor on the scene, and we are not in a position to evaluate whether the number of deaths is high or low.”
Ambulance data tell a far more alarming story
Among the thousands of comments on the article, one person notes that in 2023, the number of ambulance dispatches increased by over one million from 2022, when the number was itself the highest-ever in Japan’s history.
He adds, “Why is no media reporting on this despite the explosion of deaths and sudden illnesses?”
While the media are silent, the people are making their voices heard
Meanwhile, on May 31st, a huge protest against the WHO was held in Tokyo, Japan’s capital. Opening the protest was Kazuhiro Haraguchi, a former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communication and currently a member of Japan’s Parliament.
