More than 250,000 Excess Renal Failure Deaths Since 2020 | John Beaudoin

"If you're a health monitoring agency like the CDC, it's your job to look at the thing that's staring you right in the face." —John Beaudoin https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/more-than-250000-excess-renal-failure?utm_source=youtube In this third and last part of my interview with John Beaudoin, we're looking at CDC's data for acute kidney or renal failure deaths from 2018 until 2025. For years, Beaudoin has been sounding the alarm about a staggering increase in acute kidney failure deaths beginning in 2020 - but he got little traction. One reason is that these deaths are not apparent when researchers exclusively use Underlying Cause of Death (UCoD) in their analysis of CDC's mortality data.
