Loading ...No — that claim is entirely false. Tokyo (or Japan) has not declared any national or state of emergency over infant or child deaths linked to mRNA COVID‑19 vaccines.
Here’s what we know from reliable sources:
What’s actually happening
-
There is no official emergency declaration from the Japanese national government or Tokyo authorities regarding a surge in child deaths attributed to mRNA vaccines.
-
Recent stories claiming Tokyo issued a state of emergency over child fatalities tied to mRNA injections stem from conspiracy or hoax sites—not credible reporting The Lancet+7amg-news.com – American Media Group+7The People’s Voice+7.
-
Reputable fact‑checkers like Reuters have debunked these claims, confirming no such links or declarations exist ReutersReuters.
⚠️ On raising child deaths claims and vaccine links
-
While Japan—like many countries—has recognized rare adverse events (for example myocarditis in teens), accepted as causally related after investigation, these are extremely rare and very small in number (e.g. a few known teen fatalities reviewed under strict criteria) PMC朝日新聞.
-
Studies about excess deaths during 2022–2023 point to multiple contributing factors—such as COVID itself, delayed medical care, seasonal diseases—not vaccinations. Crucially, these studies do not show any explosion of mortality among vaccinated individuals Reuters+1PMC+1.
✅ Summary table
| Claim | Reality |
|---|---|
| Japan declared emergency over child deaths from mRNA vaccines | ❌ No such declaration exists |
| Surge of child fatalities all traced to mRNA injections | ❌ No evidence or investigation supports this |
| Reliable scientific consensus supports causal link | ❌ Only very rare possibilities examined—no broad causal outcome documented |
Bottom line
This appears to be a misinformation campaign using shocking headlines and conspiracy framing. There is zero credible verification. Japanese government records, public health agencies, and mainstream science sources report no such emergency, no mass child deaths due to mRNA vaccines, and no validated causal connection to mRNA technology.
