Falana uncle was on dialysis for years and died from kidney failure. Falana aunty’s young son had sudden cardiac arrest and died from heart failure. Doctors reported covid cases. Doctors are lying about covid deaths. Let me tell you why this propaganda is gross misconception.
Young patients with no comorbids can present with organ failure due to covid. On the other hand, covid can aggravate an underlying illness/comorbid in elderly/weak immune patients.
Covid symptoms can go beyond pneumonia. It can kill tissues, form blot clots, inflammation. It causes damage to multiple organs including kidneys, brain, and heart, or aggravates if one has a preexisting illness owing to weaker systems.
Covid damages brain. A study found that one third of patients in a hospital in Wuhan had neurological symptoms like dizziness, impaired consciousness, loss of taste and smell, and skeletal-muscle injuries, seizures and stroke. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2764549">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/...
Covid damages kidney. Alan Kliger, nephrologist at Yale School of Medicine, said 14% to 30% of ICU patients lost kidney function and later required dialysis. Another study found patients who died has acute kidney injuries and coronavirus in their kidneys. https://www.kidney-international.org/article/S0085-2538(20)30369-0/fulltext">https://www.kidney-international.org/article/S...
Covid causes blood clots. Chinese researchers found small blood clots in about 70% of the patients who died of Covid-19. American cardiologist Clyde Yancy says, 1/3rd of patients who have covid-19 infections do in fact have evidence of thrombotic disease. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jth.14830">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/1...
Researchers are finding if covid directly attacks organ or if it’s an immune response. It can be “cytokine storm” which is a systemic inflammatory response triggered due to infection or drugs. Regardless of the cause, we know that organ damage in covid patients results in deaths.
