They search the headquarters of the Japanese branch of QAnon for obstructing vaccination against covid

Police have searched the headquarters of the Japanese branch of the American conspiracy group QAnon, called YamatoQ, after several of its members have been arrested for hindering vaccination against covid-19 in Japan.

Eight YamatoQ members, including one of its leaders, were arrested late last week for trespassing for breaking into a vaccination center in Yaizu city, Shizuoka prefecture (center), last March.

According to the police investigation, those arrested entered the aforementioned inoculation center shouting slogans such as: "Vaccination is an act of murder," according to details published by the local Kyodo news agency.

As part of their investigations, security forces searched the group's headquarters in the city of Fukuroi, in the same prefecture in the center of the archipelago.

Campaign against vaccination

Last April, another ringleader and several members of the group were charged with trespassing after carrying out similar acts at a covid vaccination center in Tokyo also in March.

YamatoQ has been waging a campaign against covid vaccination in the Asian country and organizing rallies in which it denies the existence of the pathogen.

The group has organized simultaneous rallies in different areas of the country this year and makes use of social networks to promote its activities and disseminate false information, alleging a lack of transparency about the composition of the covid vaccines, which they allege are dangerous.

On its website, YamatoQ manifests itself as attached "under the same banner of the so-called Q", an abbreviation with which the aforementioned QAnon conspiracy theory is known, and of which, it says, "pioneers" such as the former US President Donald Trump and "many 'white hats'", referring to his supporters.
