Three thousand is barely a blip in terms of the huge numbers involved. Yet they are a catastrophic for those involved.
what is ludicrous is using such stats to obfuscate responsibility. That barely works for a single case and no way works here.
The harsh reality is that a few unlucky people will be badly hurt. Thus the first thing that must be done is to award legitimate damages to these women. Then decide whether the known newly costs justifies continuance.
Japan: HPV vaccine on trial for its horrifying side effects

Since last July, a total of 119 young girls and women in Japan have
filed lawsuits against both the Japanese government and the two
manufacturers of vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV),
GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK) and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. According to
the suits, the companies’ respective HPV vaccines, Cervarix and
Gardasil, caused the women to suffer serious side effects, for which
they are now seeking damages.
Some of the latest suits include 28 cases in which women ranging in age from 15 to 22 developed major health conditions
like chronic pain all over their bodies, impaired mobility, severe
menstrual pain, and other problems following the series of vaccines.
These women are suing not only the vaccine manufacturers for producing
the deadly jabs, but also the Japanese government for approving them
without proper vetting.
One young woman by the name of Erina Sonoda, a 20-year-old college
student, told The Japan Times (JT) that she developed horrible menstrual
pains following her second vaccination with Cervarix, which is
administered as three separate jabs. Sonoda went through with her third
vaccination despite the menstrual problems, and following this last
course developed pains throughout the rest of her body, for which she
now has difficulty walking without a cane, and often has to use a
wheelchair.
“I felt acute pain as if someone was squashing my internal organs …
Such conditions have only gotten worse,” Sonoda told a court while
sitting in her wheelchair. Sonoda is seeking the U.S. equivalent of
about $134,000 as compensation for her injuries. “I received the shots
because the government recommended it. I want the government to take
seriously its responsibility for causing us (to suffer from) such
symptoms.”
Many others like Sonoda have suffered similar problems after getting
HPV vaccinations, including more than 100 other plaintiffs throughout
Japan who say their lives have never been the same since following the
government’s advice. Rather than obtain the protection against cervical
cancer that they were promised, many of these women are now permanently
injured and in need of constant medical care.
The Japanese government, GSK, and Merck all deny that there is any
causal link between HPV vaccines and serious side effects, hence their
efforts to have the compensation claims denied. These entities claim
that no scientific evidence exists to show any dangers from HPV
vaccines, but tell that to the nearly 3,000 women throughout Japan who
have reported serious side effects since the government first started
recommending the vaccines back in April 2013. Two months later, the
government stopped recommending HPV vaccines following a spate of controversy from major reported side effects.
Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry openly admits that some
2,945 individuals have reported side effects from HPV vaccines over the
past four some-odd years. At the same time, the ministry says that side
effects from the vaccines are rare, and that the women who claim to have
been injured by them must have been injured by something else.
Back in 2016, it was reported that vaccination rates for HPV in Japan plummeted from about 70 percent to a mere one percent
after controversy over the vaccine’s safety went mainstream around June
2013. When the Japanese public found out that their government was
using their tax dollars to support the push for more women to get
vaccinated for HPV, the outcry that ensued was enough to get the program
stopped in a matter of weeks. HPV vaccines are still offered to women
in Japan, but the government no longer officially recommends them.
