On December 13, 2024, the bereaved families made a public appeal in front of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Their heartbreaking appeal continued for three hours, but no Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare official responded.

As of August 5, 2024, the number of deaths certified under the Vaccine Victim Relief System was 762. This is just the tip of the iceberg, making it the largest drug-related injury in history.

The number of COVID-19 positive cases and deaths increased with each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Medical institutions were given incentives for vaccination. The purchase price is covered by the government and is tax-free.
Incentive
・1-99 shots per week: 2,070 yen
・100-149 shots per week: 4,070 yen
・150+ shots per week: 5,070 yen
Bonus
・More than 50 shots per day: 100,000 yen

There was a system in place for local governments to receive more subsidies from the national government the higher the vaccination rate. This put pressure on local governments to promote the vaccine. In addition, politicians and doctors did not study the issue, leaving the decision to the experts. Considering the reality of healthy people being unable to live normal lives, the number of deaths, the number of serious side effects, and data from overseas research institutions, it was a situation that had to be stopped immediately. Some of the mayors understood the situation, and admonished the Izumiotsu mayor, saying, “Mayor, you’re really exaggerating.”

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the company that runs Facebook, has been under pressure from the Biden administration to censor the information and remove any references to side effects even if the information is correct.

The media was touting the vaccine as 100% effective, but their claims changed with each passing day.

“These are women who are about to give birth. If we don’t properly inform these people of the risks, it could lead to serious consequences later on.” June 2022

“If we were to compromise on this point, there would be no point in creating a new political party. We are a party that aims to convey the truth to people whose messages have not been properly delivered until now, so if we shrink back over something like a vaccine, we will not be able to carry out our activities properly.” June 2022

“Mr Matsuda, we are absolutely right about this. We will definitely be criticized for this, and many things will be said about us, but let’s forge ahead with this. We must say that what is right is right, because a few years from now the government and other political parties will realize they’ve made a mistake. We have promised that we will keep saying this until that time comes.” June 2022
