Leading Japanese Experts Warn: ‘Self-Amplifying mRNA Vaccines’ [Could] âTrigger Worldwide Disaster

Global warning as the Japan is about to roll out new âself-amplifyingâ Covid mRNA âvaccinesâ for public use
By Frank Bergman September 21, 2024
A group of scientists and a top Japanese lawmaker have just held a press conference to raise the alarm over the new âvaccines,â warning they [could] âtrigger a worldwide disaster.â
The controversial new âself-amplifyingâ Covid mRNA âvaccineâ was developed by an obscure San Diego-based biotech company called Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc.
Arcturus Therapeutics, which is also an emerging pharmaceutical company, recently had its self-amplifying mRNA vaccine become accepted by Japanese regulators.
Japanâs Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) granted approval for ARCT-154, a self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine.
The shot will be used for initial vaccination and booster for adults 18 years and older.
This new Covid sa-mRNA vaccine targeting was developed by Arcturus Therapeutics in partnership with Melbourne, Australia-based CSL.
In October [2024] the Japanese health authorities will roll the sa-mRNA Covid vaccine out to the population.
The approval is based on positive clinical data from several ARCT-154 studies, including an ongoing 16,000-subject efficacy study performed in Vietnam.
Initial study results have been published in MedRxiv and are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal by the end of the year.
However, the approval of the experimental vaccines has been met with a widespread backlash from Japanese scientists and medical experts, who have already been sounding the alarm about the âtraditionalâ mRNA injections.
In response to the looming rollout of the new shots, Japanese Member of Parliament Ryuhei Kawada led an emergency press conference in Japan to warn the public.
At his event, he and colleagues expressed great concern about the countryâs upcoming launch of the âmRNA replicon vaccines.â
During the press conference, Kawada argued that the October 1 deployment effort involving the COVID-19 vaccines âshould be halted.â
Citing a study published in Cell, scientists looked at how something similar to the replicon mRNA vaccine worked when put into cells.
They found that the vaccine parts kept increasing inside the cells.
Experts are warning that these self-replicating mRNA vaccines continue to replicate in an out-of-control manner throughout the cells and more of the body.
The concern would be that particulas known as extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) could lead to shedding via bodily fluids and the like.
The Japanese regulators and Arcturus Therapeutics are refusing to discuss such risks, however.
âWe are addressing this press conference from the standpoint that the replicon vaccine should be halted,â Kawada said during the presser.
âTherefore, we have decided to hold this emergency press conference.
âThis self-replicating immune agent, scheduled to start regular vaccinations from October 1st, ought to be halted, and I strongly advocate for this action.
âAdditionally, we must ensure thorough investigation and verification to provide relief to mRNA vaccine victims who have suffered significant harm.
âThis must be systematically carried out.
âInstead of merely discarding unused vaccines, we should facilitate research by passing them on to researchers for analysis.
âI intend to make these demands to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.â
Professor Dr. Seiji Kojima of Nagoya University also raised concerns about the new injections.
âCompared to those who are unvaccinated, the mortality rate is five times higher if you get vaccinated twice,â Prof. Kojima warned.
âThe purpose of receiving vaccination is indeed to reduce the mortality rate, but ironically, the rate was five times higher after receiving the vaccine.âÂ
Professor Murakami of Tokyo Science University also expressed similar concerns.
âJapan is planning a large-scale rollout of self-amplifying vaccines, which are considered hazardous materialsâŠâ Murakami told the Japanese people.
ââŠby the beginning of next month, Japan has the potential to trigger a worldwide disaster.â
âThe vaccines do not seem to be effective,â he warned.
âThey do not work. They lack efficacy.
âmRNA vaccines have resulted in many deaths, injuries, and victims.â
âDespite knowing they are ineffective, their use could possibly cause significant international damage,â Prof. Murakami added.
âThere is also the possibility of person-to-person transmission.
âThere is absolutely no need to administer it. There is no need at all.
âTherefore, knowing this and still administering the vaccine, I believe, is a crime. â

Recipe for Heart Health: A Randomized Crossover Trial on Cardiometabolic Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Within a WholeâFood PlantâBased Vegan Diet | Journal of the American Heart Association
[ For video discussion on this July 2024 research CLICK HERE ]
Key Findings of the Study
Enhanced Cardiovascular Health Without Oil: Participants who followed an oil-free, whole food, plant-based diet experienced greater improvements in heart health markers compared to those who included EVOO in their diets.
Lower LDL Cholesterol Levels: The oil-free group showed a more significant reduction in LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol), which is crucial for reducing the risk of heart disease.
Better Weight Management: Eliminating added oils led to more effective weight loss and maintenance, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.
Improved Blood Pressure Control: Participants avoiding oils had better blood pressure readings, further decreasing their risk of hypertension.
Reduced Inflammation: The absence of added oils correlated with lower levels of systemic inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases.
Why This Matters to Us
The findings align perfectly with the PLANTSTRONG philosophy that emphasizes consuming whole, unprocessed plant foods without added oils. While EVOO is often marketed as a healthful choice, this study suggests that even so-called “healthy” oils may not provide the cardiovascular benefits we aim for.

Study suggest that cataracts increase the risk of dementia through vascular and non-AD mechanisms; treating or preventing cataracts may reduce dementia risk.
[ED: Or may it be that poor blood flow is a common factor in BOTH cataracts & dementia? It is often said that cardio vascular disease is systemic, thus such a theory seems potentially valid.]
White-Meat Sweet Potato Ranch Dressing
1 cup COOKED white-meat sweet potato
2 cups of unsweetened PLAIN non-dairy milk (and/or water)
4 Tablespoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons Dill SEED (essential, different than dill weed)
2 teaspoons Dill WEED
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 Tablespoons lemon juice
4 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
2 Tablespoons mustard
2 Medjool Dates, pitted
Blenderize, add black pepper to taste. Store in fridge & thin w/ non-dairy milk or more lemon juice, as desired.
