Infection with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) has been associated with drastic loss of kidney function. The Vaccine has not shown any increased problems (above that found in normal population) of developing kidney problems. It is important for persons who have kidney issues to get protected from Covid-19 by being vaccinated, because their outcomes if infected are drastically worse.

Am not amazed of any rumors in the media or online regarding COVID-19 vaccines. This too is absolutely FAKE NEWS and should be ignored. The USA vaccines do NOT cause any kidney problems directly and the bad hematological reactions are very rare indeed. You do need to get vaccinated, as the infection is far more devastating than a few days of a swollen injection site.
