Dr. Miyazawa, Japanese Virologist Who Warned Omicron Strain Was Created, Responds

The World is Now Paying Attention As His Recent Video Climbs to Over 10 Million Views

The story goes like this. A pair of respected Japanese Ph.D.-level researchers from Kyoto University took a year to study nearly 400 strains of the Omicron variant. Their conclusion, for several reasons chronicled in their recent study, was that it appears to have been manufactured.

Despite multiple efforts, research journals turned them away refusing to publish their findings. That was when Dr. Takayuki Miyazawa took to the streets of Sendai, where the 70th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Virology was being held, to speak the truth of his findings before presenting at the event.

After his public pleas on the street, he wrote:

“We handed out flyers and held information sessions on the streets, but almost no one passed by, no one took our flyers, and almost no one would listen.

I usually speak when there are people willing to listen to me, so I mistakenly thought that they were interested in me. I was shocked to see the reaction of the people in the town. Not even 0.1%.”

Yet in a twist of fate, the Japanese language clip of Professor Miyazaawa's street warning has over 10 million views on X at the time of this writing. 

The rapid attention has allowed Dr. Miyazawa a greater platform on X, formerly Twitter, where he has expanded the dialogue. Below is the translated barrage of messages and statements he has made in the last 24 hours.

I'm not anti-vaccine. I am not completely denying research into mRNA preparations, and I think it is okay to continue research into gene therapy for cancer. As a general rule, vaccines should be used as much as possible when necessary. I believe that individuals should make decisions based on gathering information, including the current situation and side effects.

By no means am I anti-vaccine. It is clear from history that vaccines have made a significant contribution to overcoming infectious diseases. However, the safety of mRNA vaccines is clearly insufficient, and we oppose their use against the new coronavirus. We request that it be stopped immediately.

I think there are many mistakes when it comes to conspiracy theories. In this case, we believe that there was not an actual conspiracy, but rather a crime under international law. Since the rumors have been around for a while, it may be the execution of a conspiracy, but I believe it is a crime.

I'm not saying I'm quitting university. I expressed my determination to communicate what I know scientifically, even if I am punished by the university and even forced to resign for disseminating information that goes against national policy. I would be safe if I didn't send out the message, but I think I have no choice but to take risks to save the country. Wrong intentions are being spread.

Personally, I don't think it will be possible unless Japanese academic societies take a serious stand. However, no matter how much I call out to [them], [they don’t] move. I'm praying that at least one expert will appear who will provide cover fire for those reckless leafleters. My wish is for Japanese people to live peacefully and happily. If things continue as they are now, a tragic outcome awaits.
