Dr. Masanori Fukushima, a professor emeritus at Kyoto University, presented a warning on November 25, 2022, at an event organized by Kazuhisa Ukawa, a concerned private citizen. Apparently on the agenda were concerns involving discrimination against the unvaccinated in Japan as well as an ever-growing list of persons reporting injuries associated with the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In what frankly can be described as a bombshell acknowledgment given the pedigree of this physician-scientist in Japanese medical research circles, Fukushima declared that "the harm caused by vaccines is now a worldwide problem" and that "given the wide range of adverse events, billions of lives could ultimately be in danger." Is this just reactionary hyperbole of a bitter critic or a prescient signal to be taken very seriously?
