In addition to his career as an administrative officer, he has also been involved in advanced medical treatments such as immuno-cell therapy, particle beam therapy and gene therapy, as well as in free medical treatment, responding to the concerns and questions of patients and their families.
He is a member of the Japanese Psychoanalytical Society, the Japanese Society for Integrative Medicine, the Japanese Society for Mibyo Systematics, the Japanese Society of Homeopathic Medicine, the Japanese Society for Group Psychotherapy, the Thermotherapy Association, the Association for Support of Intractable Cancer Diseases, the Hormesis Clinical Research Group, the Japanese Nutrition Association and the Japanese Aroma Environment Association.
Dr. Nakamura, thank you very much for agreeing to this KLA interview.
You are welcome, I am very honored to have this occasion.
1. So, our international audience is really interested in how things are progressing in the corona pandemic in Japan. and many people who are critical of their own government around the world seem to have the idea that Japan is doing a real good job with the corona pandemic. For example in many countries people who are critical of the vaccine are unhappy because they are mandated. They are required in countries like Germany, France and Italy, but Japan is not required. So what would you say about the situation in Japan and why is it that Japan has not required the vaccine but other countries have?
I am not familiar with the historical background in other countries, but looking at the history of vaccination in Japan, there have been several fairly major problems with vaccination in the past. One recent example is the cervical cancer vaccine. The government led a campaign for a cervical cancer vaccine, but when it actually started, there were a number of deaths and cases of serious adverse events. There have been many such cases in the history of vaccination in the past, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has learned its lesson, both financially and in terms of its responsibility to be held accountable in court, etc., for cleaning up the aftermath of such cases. The people in charge of drugs and pharmaceutical affairs at the MHLW ministry have to defend their decisions when questioned by the Minister of MHLW or Japan's Prime Minister, so they probably were fearfyk that if they forced this corona vaccine, it would be a repeat of the past.
So I rather wonder how other countries were able to make the vaccine mandatory and enforce it, although I don't know the past history of other countries.
I think that the Japanese government and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare do not want to take the form of forcing people to take a vaccine that is not safe, because they are only allowing the vaccine in the form of a special approval, and because the clinical trials are still being conducted and they want the public to cooperate.
2. Dr. are you familiar with the American VAERS system? So going by the official VAERS numbers, I think we can conclude that compared to other vaccines, this is a very dangerous vaccine. And it's a very damaging vaccine. And even then, the official numbers for VAERS...it's recognized that they are anywhere from only 1% to 10% of the total number number of adverse reactions, including death, to the vaccine. So it's extremely low. And even with these low figures, we see numbers far more than we've ever seen with vaccines. And I've heard comparisons of the VAERS system with other countries, and in some countries, maybe even there is no reporting system. So how is the Japan reporting system for reporting vaccine adverse events?
In Japan, the system is called 'suspected vaccine adverse reaction reporting', and I think this system is firmly rooted in the unique Japanese administrative system, because of the past history I have just mentioned. Therefore, the function of the system is that, for example, the figures are not over- or under-reported there, and once the reports are received by each municipality, they are all consolidated directly into the MHLW without being processed or manipulated in the process. In this respect, no problems arise.
The question is whether doctors in the medical field report individual cases as adverse reactions, but in general, I think they do. This is because in clinics and hospitals, clerks and nurses other than doctors look after patients together with the doctors, and in a sense they monitor the doctors. Doctors are under pressure to be monitored.
3. Right now I'm in the middle of Robert F. Kennedy jr's book on Doctor Fauci, and I'm realizing to what great extent the pharmaceutical industry, Big Pharma, has an influence on medicine in America. They have a huge influence on our government, through lobbying, they have a huge influence on the media, through advertising, and of course they have a giant influence on the doctors who are prescribing these drugs and vaccines. Does the pharmaceutical industry have such influence on the Japanese medical system?
Of course there is significant influence. However, if we are considering to what extent pharmaceutical companies are influencing, the reality is that first of all, doctors in the medical field are driven by their relationships with the sales representatives of the pharmaceutical companies, as they try to gain their trust. So there is basically no pressure from the pharmaceutical companies on the frontline doctors. However, if we look at the structure, the system as a whole, the impact of Big Pharma cannot be ignored. In the past, the system was set up by big vaccine manufacturers like Sanofi-Pasteur and Glaxo Smith Kline, but this time, emerging pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna are producing vaccines, and the Japanese Government has set the rules that say, "This is the way to go". Naturally, doctors in the field have to follow them. Rather than the doctors in the field being affected, directly the country had to accept the rules of the pharmaceutical companies, and the impact of Big Pharma at this level is immeasurable, but not so much at the level of the individual doctor.
4. Do you think that the corona pandemic was pre-planned? Planned out beforehand. Before January of 2020? Was it some grand plan, planned out beforehand?
My personal view is that there are a lot of legal provisions for vaccines and for infectious disease control, but driving this is the idea of public health. When the cause of public health is raised as a banner, it's allowed that individual rights may have to be restricted in order to protect society. This means there are times when it becomes permissible to restrict individual rights. Quarantine of ships at airports and ports is an example. When you're planning to create a centralised power structure, it is quite natural to make use of the idea of public health that I have just mentioned. There is a clear connection between the idea that those who already have some power seek to further strengthen and maintain that power, and the idea in public health that it is inevitable to put individual rights on the back burner for the protection of society. Those who want to expand their power will make use of the idea of public health. If you make it too obvious that your goal is to strengthen the power structure, you will face a counter-offensive from thepeople, but if you say it is for the protection of society, you can convince people. We can convince the people that so many people are dying from corona, so listen to us, we are doing this for your benefit. If you put the objective of public health at the forefront, no one can complain. That is used as a shield to strengthen the power structure behind it and build a system that will sustain that structure. This kind of strategy is transparent.
For example, issues such as drug prices are not finally determined in Japan, so even if the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the agents of foreign pharmaceutical companies can reach an agreement on prices, there are cases where the head offices of foreign pharmaceutical companies do not agree. In such cases, for example, lobbyists of Big Pharma in the U.S. approach the U.S. president and the people around him, and through them, they exert pressure on the Japanese prime minister and his administration. The decisions made there then come down to the field level from the top of the MHLW through the vice-minister. Such is the structure of the Ministry.
5. Very last question. The leader, the director of KLA TV, recently came out with an editorial and the point behind the video he made was that nobody should profit off of a pandemic. And he says, that is one of our main problems, is that there is so much money behind a pandemic, and we hear this phrase again and again in America, of how, what's the phrase...um...don't ever...what is it?... don't let a good disaster go to waste (Don't let a good crisis go to waste- is the phrase the interviewer was looking for- Satoshi, you can insert this sentence.). In other words, when you have a disaster, let's see what we can do with this. So the idea is, no profit from pandemics. So you can't make a profit as a drug company, off a disaster. For example, while business are being shut down around the world and economies are going down, the pharmaceutical companies are seeing billions in profits. Huge increases in profits. And the leader of KLA TV is saying, that should not be allowed.
Infectious diseases are not spread by the serious ones. Because they are hospitalised immediately. So if you focus your resources on those people, you're done there. And the reason why you get a pandemic like this is because the pathogen is light. It spreads because of its low toxicity. Even amongst those people, there are people who become seriously ill, so it is most efficient to invest resources and money there. The way we're spending money now is forcing a business mechanism to involve people who are not seriously ill and who have a very low chance of becoming infected. This is not reasonable in the first place. The fact that the government is allowing this to happen is in itself the government's responsibility. ... In terms of the use of money, resources should be invested in those who are seriously ill, and there is no evidence that asymptomatic people can be infected. Spending the money like this (I think if he didn't say this, we shouldn't add it) , in which we do not make a clear distinction between where it can be loosened up and where it should be tightened up, is in theory unacceptable. It's become impossible trying to argue this point.
Dr. Nakamura, thank you very much for the interview.
