In a recent study published in the Cureus journal, researchers found that 70 percent of people in Japan who died after receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine did so in the first 10 days following vaccination. The risk period, defined as within 10 days of vaccination, was followed by a control period, defined as 11-180 days after vaccination. The analysis was then divided into two groups: those aged 65 and above and those aged 64 and below.
For the older age group, more women than men died overall from various medical conditions within the first 10 days of vaccination. The study also found that more men than women died from various medical conditions within the first 10 days of vaccination for the younger age group. The primary cause of death in both groups was ischemic heart disease. Male–female differences were also noted in myocarditis/pericarditis cases. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare data from Feb. 17, 2021, to March 12, 2023, was used to obtain the data for the study, and the study author clarified that they had no financial support from any organization for their submitted work.
When asked for a comment on the study, a cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough pointed out that the data was “very similar to vaccine deaths in US/Domestic cases in VAERS,” according to a Dec. 9 X post. High spike in mortality was noted in January and February 2022 in 15 out of the 17 nations, which coincided with or followed the rollout of booster shots. Another study estimated 1.74 million excess deaths in the 17 nations during the vaccination period.
