Psychological ghosts existed for decades after the Japanese scandals in Japan have caused the government to delay the deployment of Covid-19 vaccination.

Number of new NCOV infections in Tokyo capital and all Japan continuously set a record in recent days, making many Japanese people are no longer salty with Olympic Tokyo 2020, which is held with a series of limited measures

One of the paradoxes in Japan is that even if they can access vaccines, the vaccination program is very slow.

Before the Olympic, Japan made an effort to accelerate vaccination but still lagged behind other developed countries.

If Japan deployed Vaccine Covid-19 earlier than a few months, they could prevent the virus to spread and let the audience watched Olympics, Kenji Shibuya, former WHO officials currently in charge of supervisor in Soma, said.

The reason why Japan delayed vaccination is the worry of Japanese people on the side effects of the vaccine, which existed decades before Covid-19 appeared.

The prescribed vaccination is compulsory in Japan after World War II, when the US military tries to prevent the types of epidemics raging at the time many Japanese people are poor and malnourished.

In the early 1990s, Japan received a lot of complaints that vaccines 3 in 1 measles - Mumps - Rubella (MMR) of the country leads to sterile meningitis and other harmful reactions.

Scandals have shaken public trust in the vaccine, making the media more attention in the safety of the vaccine and leads to a series of losses of compensation.

In 1994, Japan reduced the scope of the national vaccination program and the vaccination variable became a personal choice instead of mandatory requirements.

Public trust for vaccines are further eroded in 2013 when Japanese media reported on the side effects for the HPV vaccine even without evidence.

According to a study published last year in Lancet magazine, the Japanese HPV vaccination rate decreased from 70% to less than 1%.

Anthropologist Heidi Larson, Vaccine Faith Project Director in London, said: This is the eighth year the Japanese government says: 'If people ask, we will provide, but we will not master

In September 2020, Larson was co-author of a global vaccine trend trend.

It is the situation in Japan 1.5 years ago when NCOV first appeared in this country.

The original government did not understand the importance of the vaccine and did not push it.

In 2016, a Japanese Ministry of Health Advisor warned that Japan was not well prepared to respond if the pandemic outbreaks.

Shibuya, one of the authors of the report, has a Japanese pharmaceutical industry like their finance before collapsing in 1991. A lot of companies, lack of competitiveness, are much subsidized, missing

Shibuya's assessment and colleagues seem to have predicted the right situation 5 years later.

When Japan bought enough Vaccine Pfizer and Moderna to cover the population, the government faces an important decision: they should get vaccines for people when Covid-19 is increasing and Olympic takes place in the month.

Japan has chosen to quickly conduct the second plan, unlike dozens of other countries that have accepted the results of multinational experiments conducted by Pfizer and started immunization immediately.

The government decided to conduct clinical trials to combat anti-vaccination movement, communications and opposing parties.

Even after Japan began deploying late vaccinations in mid-February, the initial progress was very slow.

Yuji Yumada is a member of the group of 10 doctors trying to speed up the process by displacing the public with the vaccine.

Corowa-kun, Chatbot answered the question about Vaccine Covid-19 in Japan.

Corowa-kun is a chatbot that is responsible for answering user questions about vaccines.

Yumada and his colleagues studied the effectiveness of Corowa-kun during the spring.

Sharing accurate information and incremental cases in the spring have accelerated the vaccination process.

Recognizing the need for vaccines, the Japanese government has allowed emergency technicians, dentists and laboratory technicians to support the vaccine program.

The experts have a multidimensional perspective on the decision to delay Japanese vaccination in the winter for additional clinical trials.

So it is impossible to say that it is really a mistake, he said, but in the Olympic perspective without an audience, it was a mistake.

Sakamoto has a stronger stance.
