A team of German and Dutch scientists report COVID-19 causes direct cellular damage within the kidneys, contributing to tissue scarring. Conducted at the RWTH Uniklinik Aachen in Germany and the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, study authors assessed and compared kidney tissues among COVID-19 ICU patients, other patients in the hospital for a non-COVID-related lung issue, and a group of healthy people. Results show kidney tissue from the COVID-19 patients showed much...

That despite the fact that the communist nation originally unleashed the coronavirus on the world by executing a deeply harmful cover-up of what they knew at the time.That feat has been accomplished in two ways. One, China has been relentlessly and laughably misreporting its COVID statistics, with them actually claiming to have only suffered 4,636 total deaths in a country of 1.4 billion people....

It turns out that one of the most well-known pandemics from recent history was actually caused by the “vaccines” that were supposedly introduced to stop it – much like how the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” of today are spreading more covid. Dr. Sal Martingano, FICPA, explains that mass vaccination during the Spanish Flu is what actually caused people to die. In fact, the only people who ended up dying during the ordeal were those who got jabbed.

Explanation: What and where are these large ovals? They are rotating storm clouds on Jupiter imaged last month by NASA's Juno spacecraft. In general, higher clouds are lighter in color, and the lightest clouds visible are the relatively small clouds that dot the lower oval. At 50 kilometers across, however, even these light clouds are not small. They are so high up that they cast shadows on the swirling oval below. The featured image has been processed to enhance color and contrast. Large ovals are usually regions of high pressure that span over 1000 kilometers and can last for years....

“You can check-in, but you can never leave” is becoming the slogan of US hospitals treating Covid-19.A stunning video interview with a doctor treating Covid patients uncovers the secrets health officials and hospitals aren’t telling – and that is that “they are being held hostage and segregated from loved ones.
