There are problems with the original paper.

① Side effect data in Japan is not centrally managed, so data from the PMDA (equivalent to the FDA) is used.

② The data collector is someone from Meiji Seika Pharma (the company that sells Replicon).

③ A Weibull distribution is fitted to the side effect distribution.

Due to ①, the side effect data is much lower than the actual number of side effects.

② There is a conflict of interest in selling Replicon.

③ The Weibull dist. is a distribution function used to estimate the initial failure and wear limit of machines. People ≠ machine. Therefore, medium to long-term side effects in humans are ignored.

Therefore, there is a clear intention to conceal side effects for most of one's life by only estimating those occurring immediately after vaccination and towards the end of life.
