The claim
腎臓学会が発表した紅麹健康被害の病名は新型コロナワクチンの副反応そのもの
Original review summary
The review says the newspaper article cited in the viral post did not discuss COVID-19 or claim that the reported diagnoses were vaccine side effects. It notes that some of the same conditions appeared in vaccine adverse-event reports, but says this does not establish that the conditions were vaccine side effects; the kidney society said it did not consider them related to COVID-19 vaccines.[S1]
Additional context
The kidney society’s interim survey covered 34 kidney-biopsy cases from December 2023 through March 2024 and reported tubular interstitial nephritis, tubular necrosis, and acute tubular injury as the main lesions. [S1]
The review says the society published the interim report on April 1, 2024, and that its response to the fact-checker was: “本学会としてはコロナワクチンとの関連は考えていない”. [S1]
