Japan's Greatest Lesson: Compulsory Flu Vaccine Reveals No Benefit and Deadly Side Effects
by Melissa Gordon
At the two day Medical conference entitled "Should vaccinations be compulsory or free choice?" Doctors from various areas of the world were invited to present the situation in their country and also to highlight problems surrounding some of the vaccines. A pediatrician presents a copy of the points made in Dr. Yamamoto's presentation entitled "Why Japanese Government had to cease compulsory vaccinations." (The English translation is reasonably clear.)
Influenza in Japan
Mass influenza vaccination programs for school aged children had been started in 1960, and about 3 million children were vaccinated. In 1976, the compulsory vaccination system had been introduced and 17 million children from primary to high school had to be vaccinated twice annually. This was a unique vaccination program in the world, which the government believed would avoid the social influenza epidemics. This was a wrong hypothesis which was not verified for a long time.
Since the 80s the vaccination uptake was constant at about 60% every year but the incidence rate per 100,000 changed from 5 to 60 without concern to the vaccination rate. Since 1989 the vaccination uptake decreased rapidly to 20%, but the incidence rate did not increase.
Influenza incidence rate between non-vaccinated city and neighboring vaccinated cities
City A had 25,000 school children, City B had 21,000 school children. Statistically, they were the same.
The results in 1984:
City A ceased compulsory Influenza vaccination in 1980 and less than 1% of the city took the Influenza vaccine.
The Influenza incidence was 43%.
Cities B,C and D continued compulsory vaccinations.
