It is not the kind of study that can prove vaccines caused kidney failure or death. It can only show that two things happened at the same time. This is important because people in large medical databases like TriNetX are often older and already have more health problems, which increases their risk of kidney disease and death on its own. Hulscher does not explain this major limit of the study.<\/p>\n<p>The study uses numbers to compare risk between small groups of people. One of these numbers, called a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/medicine-and-dentistry\/hazard-ratio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hazard ratio<\/a>, shows a\u00a0<em>relative<\/em>\u00a0difference, not a sudden or guaranteed risk. For example, a hazard ratio of about 1.8 for dialysis in one small group does\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0mean vaccinated people now have an \u201c84% chance\u201d of kidney failure. It only means that, within that specific group, dialysis happened more often compared to another group.<\/p>\n<p>The same problem applies to the \u201c20% higher death rate\u201d mentioned in the video. That number comes from a specific subgroup of people, not from everyone who got vaccinated. However, the video talks about it as if it applies to all vaccinated people, which is misleading.<\/p>\n<p>In short, these numbers compare groups in limited situations. They do not mean that everyone who gets vaccinated faces these risks.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1135\" data-start=\"962\">Claims like \u201cthese shots harm every organ\u201d and \u201cnothing can escape the lipid nanoparticles\u201d are not findings from the study. They go far beyond what the data actually shows.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1319\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" data-start=\"1137\">Overall, the study raises questions that need more research, but the video exaggerates the risks, leaves out important details, and makes claims that the study\u2019s authors do not make.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does a new study prove COVID vaccines damage kidneys and organs?
