Citing the deaths of three Japanese children within 24 hours of receiving routine childhood immunizations, the authors of a peer-reviewed study called for a reevaluation of the “risks and benefits of currently approved vaccines” and a review of the childhood vaccination schedule.
The study, published March 14 in Discover Medicine by Dr. Kenji Yamamoto, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Okamura Memorial Hospital in Japan, also addressed the increase in post-vaccination adverse events following the introduction of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in Japan.
The study noted that Japan also has recorded an abnormal increase in excess deaths — or deaths above the amount expected under normal conditions — in the years since the COVID-19 vaccines were introduced.

“Globally, questioning vaccination has long been considered taboo, with strong social pressures to conform and be vaccinated. The aggressive promotion of the coronavirus vaccine through biased messaging remains vividly remembered. This atmosphere of conformity may partially explain the lack of significant progress in critically reviewing vaccination practices.
“Furthermore, consideration should be given to temporarily suspending the current vaccination program to determine the full extent of potential harm.”
According to TrialSite News, “These bold assertions — supported by troubling real-world data — pose a challenge to public health authorities, vaccine manufacturers, and media narratives that continue to frame questioning vaccination as ‘anti-science.’”
TrialSite News noted that the study received no external funding and was published in a prominent journal. Springer Nature, the publisher of Discovery Medicine, is the world’s largest academic publisher.
Daniel O’Connor, founder and publisher of TrialSite News, said the study’s publication in a prominent journal indicates “increasing concern post-COVID-19 about the need for validation of certain vaccines.
He said:
“In this case, a mainstream peer-reviewed journal is facilitating a critical examination of recent events, including the tragic deaths of three young children occurring just a day after receiving routine scheduled vaccines. Such incidents should not be happening, and a thorough investigation is necessary.”
Study raises questions about the safety of the childhood vaccination schedule
The study presented data from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on three post-vaccination child deaths that occurred within 24 hours of the administration of routine childhood vaccines. The deaths included:
- A healthy 2-month-old boy who experienced sudden illness 30 minutes after receiving the Hib, rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines. The boy died 59 minutes after vaccination.
- A 6-month-old girl with “cold symptoms” who was found dead in her bedroom one day after receiving the hepatitis B, Hib, pneumococcal and four-in-one (pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio) vaccines.
- A 3-year-old boy with asthmatic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis and febrile convulsions who “appeared lethargic” and had a fever 8 hours after receiving the Japanese encephalitis vaccine and experienced cardiopulmonary arrest 10 hours after vaccination.
Detailed investigations, including autopsies, followed the children’s deaths, according to the study. However, “experts were unable to evaluate a causal link to vaccination.” Instead, the deaths were classified as “evaluation not possible.”
According to the study, such conclusions are “similar to assessments of deaths following coronavirus vaccinations” and raise concerns about “possible external pressures or vested interests influencing such determinations.”
Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist for Children’s Health Defense, said that the time following vaccination “is one of the foundations” for determining causation when adverse events occur.
The study questioned the safety of the childhood vaccination schedule:
“In Japan, vaccines are administered starting at 2 months of age. By adulthood in 2024, a child will have received vaccines for almost 14 different diseases, with doses delivered either individually or simultaneously. The total number of inoculations increases significantly when booster doses are included.”
The study noted that newly developed vaccines, whose adverse event profiles may not be fully confirmed, are often administered simultaneously with existing vaccines. This raises concerns that promoting simultaneous vaccination could obscure causal links to adverse events from the outset.
A peer-reviewed study published in Cureus in 2023 examined childhood vaccination in highly developed countries, finding a positive correlation between the number of vaccine doses infants receive and infant mortality rates.
