Regarding the deadly remdesivir protocol being pushed in hospitals... Is the incidence of kidney failure natural, or are they making it MORE likely by depriving patients of hydration/fluids?
Watching some vids talking about denying hydration on account of risk of aspiration made me think about this.
I have direct experience when my husband sufferered kidney failure cause by IV contrast for a CT scan. We had to fight to get a nephrologist consulted, with the help of a dedicated critical care nurse, and he was able to reverse the kidney failure.
This made me consider whether kidneys need adequate hydration in order to process and eliminate certain toxins, like remdesivir...
This paper corroborates that fluids are important to prevent kidney damage.
Also proves that they KNOW!
