Japan has warned against the dangers of “self-amplifying” mRNA Covid “vaccines,” raising the alarm that these new injections will “trigger a worldwide disaster.”
The warning was issued by a group of Japanese experts alongside a top lawmaker.
Ryuhei Kawada, a member of the House of Councilors – the upper chamber of the Japanese National Diet (parliament) – convened an emergency press conference alongside the scientists.
Kawada and his colleagues expressed concern about the country’s upcoming launch of the so-called “mRNA replicon vaccines,” and reiterated that the Oct. 1 deployment of these new vaccines against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “should be halted.”
“We are addressing this press conference from the standpoint that the replicon vaccine should be halted,” Kawada said.
“Therefore, we have decided to hold this emergency press conference.
“This self-replicating immune agent, scheduled to start regular vaccinations on Oct. 1 ought to be halted and I strongly advocate for this action.”
“Additionally, we must ensure thorough investigation and verification to provide relief to mRNA vaccine victims who have suffered significant harm.
“This must be systematically carried out. Instead of merely discarding unused vaccines, we should facilitate research by passing them on to researchers for analysis.
“I intend to make these demands to the prime minister and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW).”
Dr. Seiji Kojima of Nagoya University also raised concerns about the new injections.
“The purpose of receiving vaccination is indeed to reduce the mortality rate, but ironically, the rate was five times higher after receiving the vaccine,” he said.
“Compared to those who are unvaccinated, the mortality rate is five times higher if you get vaccinated twice.”
Professor Yasufumi Murakami of Tokyo Science University expressed similar concerns, saying:
“Japan is planning a large-scale rollout of self-amplifying vaccines, which are considered hazardous materials. Japan has the potential to trigger a worldwide disaster.
“The vaccines do not seem to be effective. They do not work.
“They lack efficacy. mRNA vaccines have resulted in many deaths, injuries, and victims.
“Despite knowing they are ineffective, their use could possibly cause significant international damage.
“There is also the possibility of person-to-person transmission.
“There is absolutely no need to administer it. There is no need at all.
“Therefore, knowing this and still administering the vaccine, I believe, is a crime.”

Replicon mRNA shots can multiply unchecked and spread to others
The press conference came amid Tokyo’s approval of the self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccine from CSL and Arcturus Therapeutics.
The new vaccine called ARCT-154 (Kostaive) is targeted to protect against the JN1 lineage of subvariants, which descend from the B11529 omicron strain, for adults 18 years old and up.
CSL Senior Vice President and Global Regulatory Affairs Head Emmanuelle Lecomte-Brisset welcomed the approval in a statement.
“We are pleased to receive the updated approval from [the MHLW] and remain on track to distribute Kostaive in time for the October COVID-19 vaccination campaign,” she wrote.
“We look forward to introducing Kostaive in Japan as a safe, tolerable and more durable option in protecting against COVID-19.”
The MHLW’s rollout of the self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 is based on “positive clinical data from several ARCT-154 studies, including an ongoing 16,000-subject efficacy study performed in Vietnam,” Contagion Live reported.
But the approval of the experimental vaccines has been met with a widespread backlash from Japanese scientists and medical experts, who have already been sounding the alarm about the “traditional” mRNA injections.
Kawada and his colleagues cited a study published in Cell that touched on these so-called “replicon” injections.
The study authors found that the mRNA in these replicon vaccines kept multiplying inside the cells.
Given this, they warned that the mRNA could continue to replicate unchecked in the bodies of the vaccinated – and even shed to others via body fluids.
