In a recent episode of Masako Ganaha’s Channel posted on June 16th, 2024, Professor Dr. Hiroto Komano, a renowned neuroscientist and professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Iwate Medical University, shared his serious concerns about the link between COVID-19 vaccination and a increase in dementia cases.

Dr. Komano has an impressive academic pedigree. After graduating from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Tokyo, he served as an assistant at the university and held research positions at Stanford University and the University of Michigan Medical School in the United States. He also served as a laboratory director at the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology in April 2007. His primary research focuses on understanding the molecules involved in the onset and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.

During the interview, Dr. Komano talked about a study from South Korea, recently published in the International Journal of Medicine by Roh et al. on May 28, 2024. This study is highly notable because it looked at the health data of a whopping 519,330 people who got two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. and they compared these vaccinated individuals to about 38,687 people who didn’t get the vaccine. This is one of the biggest studies of its kind so far, making its findings incredibly significant.

Dr. Komano highlighted several troubling findings: Firstly, it showed that the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an early stage of dementia, more than doubled among the vaccinated individuals compared to those who were not vaccinated. Furthermore, within three months post-vaccination, the number of vaccinated people who developed dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, increased by over 20% compared to the unvaccinated individuals.

He emphasized the concerning rise in dementia cases, stating, “An increase in dementia would be disastrous. The elderly who survive but are left with a higher risk of developing dementia.” Currently, “one in five people over the age of 65 already have dementia.” The situation could worsen dramatically, with Dr. Kamano cautioning, “This means it could become two in five people.” If vaccination continues unchecked, the number of dementia cases will only rise, posing a significant public health challenge.
