More than 70 percent of those who died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination in Japan died within ten days of the vaccine’s administration, according to a recent, peer-reviewed study published in the Cureus journal.
The study, conducted by researcher Yasusi Suzumura, used sourced data from Japan‘s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare. He compared two groups: those aged 65 and above, and those aged 64 and below. For the older group, more deaths occurred among women than men in the first ten days following the jab. The opposite was the case for the younger age group.
Looking at sex ratios by dividing the number of male deaths by female deaths and multiplying by 100, the study identified notable differences between the mortality rates of men and women in both groups.
“The percentage of reported cases that experienced death within [ten] days after vaccination was 71 percent in Group 1 and 70 percent in Group 2,” the study explains.
The author argued that if the vaccine had no effect on death, there should be no disparity in these sex ratios within the risk period. “This finding indicates that the vaccination may influence the occurrence of death during the risk period and might be associated with death,” the study concludes.
The author noted several limitations, however. These include the number of days between vaccination and death could vary depending on treatment. The study failed to consider the effects of vaccination after 11 days. And it was only focused on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in cases reported between February 17, 2021, and March 12, 2023.
