Unlatching a Pandora's Box: An Interview with Dr. Masanori Fukushima (2024)

When novel coronavirus strains were first detected in China in December 2019, the contagion that came to be known as SARS-CoV-2 spread fast. To date, over 700 million cases of infection have been reported, and the death toll surpasses 7 million globally.

Responding to the pernicious virus, the United States and the United Kingdom began searching for a remedy. At an unprecedented rapidity–typified by the White House’s Operation Warp Speed–scientists made available to the public a vaccine that health authorities the world over, including the World Health Organization, declared safe and effective.

In Japan, Dr. Fukushima Masanori, a distinguished oncologist and emeritus professor at Kyoto University, was one of the earliest medical experts to sound the alarm. He gained prominence for reprimanding Japanese health authorities for abandoning their duty to provide conscientious care and for his documentation of the vaccine’s adverse effects.

But swiftness came with its downsides. Prominent scientists in many countries soon raised concerns about the vaccine’s troubling side effects. In Japan, Dr. Fukushima Masanori, a distinguished oncologist and emeritus professor at Kyoto University, was one of the earliest medical experts to sound the alarm. He gained prominence for reprimanding Japanese health authorities for abandoning their duty to provide conscientious care and for his documentation of the vaccine’s adverse effects.

Like many dissident researchers, however, Dr. Fukushima has been met with much media silence. His disturbing findings about vaccine-induced injury and even death remain a nearly taboo topic in Japan.

In a recent interview for The Remnant, Dr. Fukushima shared his candid opinion on the increasingly volatile issue.

Can you give us a short description of your professional background?

I graduated from Nagoya University Medical School in 1973 and went on to study biochemistry at Kyoto University for graduate studies. When Kyoto University’s Medical School appointed me back in 2000 as their professor, I launched Japan’s first courses in pharmacoepidemiology (the study of the uses and effects of drugs in a given population) and opened the nation’s first outpatient clinic for cancer patients. My specialties are pharmacoepidemiology and oncology.

When I first heard that some countries were developing messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to combat the coronavirus, I thought it was utterly foolish.Coronavirus, like other flu viruses, constantly mutates. Creating a vaccine that either seeks to cure or prevent the virus is, therefore, nonsensical.

What was your initial reaction to COVID-19 vaccines?

When a novel coronavirus first emerged from Wuhan, China, most who got infected died of pneumonia. It was essentially a stronger form of seasonal flu. Therefore, the key was aptly prescribing steroid therapy and encouraging certain lifestyles, such as good hygiene, consuming nutritious food, and resting well. We in Japan experienced a similar virus back in 2002 with the SARS outbreak in China.

So, when I first heard that some countries were developing messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to combat the coronavirus, I thought it was utterly foolish. In principle, traditional treatment was enough to quell the virus. Japanese doctors started doing this in June 2020, and the fatality rate dropped significantly.

Coronavirus, like other flu viruses, constantly mutates. Creating a vaccine that either seeks to cure or prevent the virus is, therefore, nonsensical.

About three months into the vaccination program, there were increasing reports of deaths and side effects related to the COVID-19 vaccines. Young and healthy individuals with no preexisting medical conditions were literally dying days after getting the shot. The notion that vaccination reduced the risk of transmission likewise became questionable with a growing number of breakthrough infections.

What made you further scrutinize the safety and efficacy of the vaccines?

Japan began its vaccination program in February 2021 (Pfizer’s vaccine was the first to be approved). Early on, experts noticed that inoculation didn’t prevent infection or transmission. The Japanese government encouraged the vaccine by advertising that it minimizes serious complications and reduces the risk of getting the virus.

Young and healthy individuals with no preexisting medical conditions were literally dying days after getting the shot. The notion that vaccination reduced the risk of transmission likewise became questionable with a growing number of breakthrough infections.

For me, this disastrous situation was all too familiar. In 2002, Japan experienced the Iressa debacle, where lung cancer patients developed interstitial pneumonia after ingesting Iressa, a cancer drug produced by AstraZeneca. Some 700 patients eventually died in Japan. I remember calling the then-director of the Pharmaceutical Management and Examination Division, advising him not to approve the medicine because of its insufficient clinical trials.

In Japan, we have what’s called the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law to ensure the safety and efficiency of new drugs. Had the Japanese government and relevant departments followed the rules and procedures prescribed in the law, we could most certainly have limited the catastrophic consequences of coronavirus vaccines.

Messenger RNAs are manipulated and encapsulated into special nanoparticles to remain stable. Once a nanoparticle is absorbed, cells produce spike proteins based on the blueprint wrapped in the nanoparticles. Spike protein is very menacing and is particularly troubling when it expresses itself traveling throughout the body.

How many reported cases of vaccine-induced deaths and complications are there in Japan?

As of March 2024, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) certified 5,735 (out of 37,688 reported) coronavirus vaccine-induced health complications and 420 deaths (out of 2,134 reported).

Compare the above numbers to the following: Since the Japanese government implemented the Relief Services for Adverse Health Effects some forty-five years ago, the total number of certified vaccine-induced health complications and deaths, excluding the coronavirus vaccine, are 3522 and 151, respectively.

But I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. The numbers could be much higher. We cannot verify the precise number because we still don’t have established diagnostic criteria, and the numbers provided by the MHLW contain discrepancies. Moreover, vaccinations are commonly administered at vaccination centers operated by prefectures, with the injection often administered by a nurse. So doctors are rarely involved in the chain of events and are unlikely to report vaccine-related issues.

There have also been reports of vaccine-induced Vexas syndrome, a rare inflammatory autoimmune disease. Any number of disorders could appear in the future, given the persistence of spike proteins.I say we have unlatched a Pandora's box.

What can you tell us about the data published by the Japanese government?

We noticed that in the age groups below 65, there were virtually no distinctions in the mortality rate between the unvaccinated and those who got their first and second injections. In fact, the data indicate that for under 65-year-olds, the mortality rate for unvaccinated people is actually lower than that for vaccinated people.

Of those who died as a result of vaccination, the majority did so within a few days of receiving the shot. And this isn't just some coincidental event, but a statistically significant one.

Data also indicate that vaccination may actually increase the risk of infection in certain age groups. For instance, the number of positive cases per 100,000 persons is higher among the twice vaccinated than among the unvaccinated in all age groups except those in their 50s and 80s. The number of new positive cases in the 65-69 age group is remarkable. The number of new positive cases is three times higher in the 2-dose group and twice higher in the 3-dose group than the unvaccinated group.

However, we cannot conduct any follow-up research because the MHLW hasn't published relevant data since 2021, for undisclosed reasons. I have filed lawsuits against our government to access new data and contracts our government signed with pharmaceutical companies that exported vaccines to Japan.

When a spike protein binds to a cell’s receptor proteins, it can attack various cells, particularly endothelial cells in the vascular system, resulting in coagulation. This causes all sorts of complications, including autoimmune disease. If the major arteries are affected, heart failures and strokes can occur. Indeed, vascular and cardiac disorders alone account for nearly half of the vaccine-induced deaths in Japan.

What do you think is causing the debilitating complications?

Messenger RNA is flimsy and should dissipate punctually once injected into the bloodstream. However, these mRNAs are manipulated and encapsulated into special nanoparticles to remain stable. Human cells are like newborn babies who put everything in their mouths. So they have a tendency to absorb nanoparticles in their surroundings. This is especially true of white blood cells.

Once a nanoparticle is absorbed, cells produce spike proteins based on the blueprint wrapped in the nanoparticles. Spike protein is very menacing and is particularly troubling when it expresses itself traveling throughout the body.

Another issue is the duration of a spike protein before it dissipates. The MHLW initially explained that spike proteins decompose entirely within a few minutes to a few days after entering the body. But we now know that this isn’t necessarily the case. Dr. Sano Shigetoshi and his team, for example, discovered a dermatitis in one patient that developed immediately after his second dose of the mRNA vaccine (Pfizer's BNT162b) but persisted for more than 100 days.

There have also been reports of vaccine-induced Vexas syndrome, a rare inflammatory autoimmune disease. Any number of disorders could appear in the future, given the persistence of spike proteins.

I say we have unlatched a Pandora's box.
