After 3 Children Died Within 24 Hours of Routine Vaccines, Japanese Researchers Sound Alarm

Citing the deaths of three Japanese children within 24 hours of receiving routine childhood immunizations, the authors of a peer-reviewed study called for a reevaluation of the “risks and benefits of currently approved vaccines” and a review of the childhood vaccination schedule.

The study, published March 14 in Discover Medicine by Dr. Kenji Yamamoto, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Okamura Memorial Hospital in Japan, also addressed the increase in post-vaccination adverse events following the introduction of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in Japan.

The study noted that Japan also has recorded an abnormal increase in excess deaths — or deaths above the amount expected under normal conditions — in the years since the COVID-19 vaccines were introduced.
