[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data) Yes. Hello, everyone. We basically have to trust the information from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=7) If we doubt it, we can't do anything, after all.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=9) But they lied to us with that information.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=12) And not just once. And the media have barely reported on it, have they?

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=17) This is a huge problem. If you ask me, this is the biggest problem with the COVID pandemic.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=24) This is exactly what Takeda is talking about here.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=27) This one issue alone is enough to dismantle the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=29) I think we should do that. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare said this. They really did.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=33) They made a graph like this, and said, “It works this well.”

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=37) So, everyone, let's get vaccinated. After they corrected the data, it looked like this.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=46) It barely changed at all, even though until then it had been rising in a nice, orderly staircase, after they properly retook the data, it started looking like this.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=57) The unvaccinated and those with two or three doses ended up with almost no difference.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=62) What does this mean?

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=66) The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare made this kind of mistake, and…

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/F2jUDzpydkN2/en/criticism-of-japan-health-ministry-s-revised-covid-19-vaccine-data?t=69) And on top of that, instead of informing the public afterward, they stopped collecting data altogether.
