If you enjoy following Covid-related news in Japan like I do, your reaction to the title of this post is probably similar to my reaction yesterday when I learned this information:
“WHAT!? When the hell did this happen?”
Well, this has been happening gradually since December 2021.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s Covid Vaccine Health Injury Adjudication Panel meets once or twice a month to determine whether to pay medical support and other forms of compensation to people who sought medical care or family members of who died as a result. of receiving vaccines for Covid.
So far, the panel has recognized vaccine causation, decided to pay compensation in 1096 cases and rejected only 97 cases.
Another 3,660 cases are pending adjudication at the time of writing.
All of the charts below come from lawyer/blogger Hitofumi Yanai, who seems to have been the only person following this.
Only 4 of the 1,096 known cases have been fatal: two men in their 70s (70 代) and a man and a woman in their 90s (90 代), highlighted in parentheses in the graphs below.
Most known cases have been working-age people aged 20-50.
Beatings cannot be called equal opportunity violators when it comes to the sexes either: 19% of the known cases were male (生情) and 81% female (女女).
These large age and gender imbalances may be surprising, but they are consistent with the Japanese scientific literature on adverse events after mRNA injection.
Now, I’m not suggesting that there has been a complete media blackout.
Here is an article from the health care news site CB News that was published on the Yahoo!
The article lists the various adverse reactions known to be caused by strokes.
But since it does not report the cumulative number so far, readers would be forgiven for thinking that only 100 cases have been known so far.
More importantly, TV and the main national newspapers have not even touched this partial information.
The reasons for this are not difficult to understand. For one thing, open reporting would probably lead to more people applying for compensation.
The 1,096 known cases are a drop in the bucket when you consider that 1,854 deaths have been reported following Covid vaccines in Japan.
But when you consider that there have only been 191 known cases of health damage caused by flu vaccines from 1977 to 2021, then 1,096 seems a bit excessive.
But the main reason is that the media and the government are no doubt concerned that open reporting would lead to fewer people doing it.
And that would really mess up their plans.
