Just like censorship, where the censor is always a liar, when statistics are buried we know those keeping the statistics have something to hide--and it's not a good sign for the rest of us.
There is considerably more comparative commentary to be made here, which Hatchard may have overlooked. There are 'contra' Korean studies that clearly seek to obscure what this more recent (Choi et al. Nov 2023) study pre-print) you cite here suggests. Indeed, Choi et al. may not make it to the dim illumination of the controlled literature.
On the other hand, the recent retrospective cohort study published (Oct 06, 2023) in JAMA Network Open (Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Connective Tissue Disorders Following COVID-19 ~ Lim SH et al.) spins altogether quite another yarn. Here this research group purports to show when stratified by vaccination status, a greater risk of autoimmune diseases in the unvaccinated group, while suggesting that in the vaccinated subgroups increased risks were diminished for both autoimmune and positive control outcomes. Studying their analysis further, one notes that the COVID-19 vaccination status is reported as follwos (see supplemental table where the devil is usually buried in the detail): "Controls" and "COVID-19" groups contain homogenised vaccine / non-vaccine recipients.
Japan had 20 million C19 cases between roughly June 2022 and Jan 2023 - out of around 24 million in total. Not bad for its 125 million people (US 110m for 338m Japan and Korea deaths with C19 present 600-700 per million v 3,500 per million for the US. I bet we don't see a comparison of methods for treatment protocols!
We're all living in an episode of "The Twilight Zone."

COVID-19 (n=192,854) 30% vaccinated once; 70% non-vaccinated
CONTROL (n=3,372,056) 41% vaccinated once; 59% non-vaccinated
There appears here an intentional obfuscation of what we have come to learn and is well recognised in the growing body of harms literature.
Thanks for the heads up, I will check it out (tomorrow as its 4.30 am here!)

Interesting to see how they calculated the C19 and control numbers.
Japan as a whole was double vaxxed by March 2022 and triple vaxxed by 1 Jan2023.
Using the cumulative graph relative to population for Japan here https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
Japan had 20 million C19 cases between roughly June 2022 and Jan 2023 - out of around 24 million in total.

Well done, Peter! Thanks for drawing this to my attention!
You are welcome!
