This woman didn't get a liver transplant because she refused to get vaccinated.

As to the recipent - medical compliance is a big deal post-transplant. If you're going to claim religious exemptions for the vaccine, what's next - religious exemptions to the anti-rejection medications you will have to take the rest of your life?

As to the donor - this is major surgery that harms a healthy person No medical facility takes that lightly. There are numerous layers of screening (and restrictions) before you are allowed to be a living donor. it is major surgery that is harder on the donor than on the recipient - and the donor will be in the hospital for a number of days. It makes no sense at all to accept a donor who is at increased risk for COVID for a multi-day stay, weaken the body by removing half of her liver which, for at least a short time makes them more susceptible to the ravages of COVID. Not to mention that the liver is one of the targets of COVID.

I should add that my sarcoma surgery at the Cleveland Clinic was one of a handful of times I had been in a room unmasked with people who were not members of my household. They removed it for surgery and I awoke, unmasked in recovery. So in addition to the damage the surgery does, there is also the potential for signficant exposure during surgery and immediatly after (especially in a hospital in an area with a high concentration of COVID cases.

I mean, other than the Church of the Braindead MAGA?

used in research & development of the vaccine.

There are no stem cells used in receivng a liver transplant (aside from potentially similar involvement in R&D, production, or testing of anti-rejection medication).

Transplants always require certain vaccinations prior, they just added covid to the list.

These antivaxxers are crazy.

Certain vaccines, certain lifestyle choices (ie smoking, drinking, etc.) can also nix a transplant.

A chance to prolong life vs. loyalty to Q, TFG and the fringiest of the fringe nut cases and CTs.

Are they conflicted by this or is it a slam-dunk? No vaxx no-how. There are a lot of 'don't care' responses to this woman's decision.

I do care. I care about misinformation, about critical thinking skills being eroded. I care about people being subject to manipulative behaviour and influences that are harmful to their very beings. Maybe I care too much.

and received the consequences of those choices.

No sympathy, she chose this.

... chumps.

Now cut me open and install a liver

preventing COVID-19 infection around the time of a surgical operation is crucial. For the transplant candidate, in addition to a major operation, medications taken after an organ transplant weaken a person’s immune response"

A large hospital system in Colorado says people on its organ transplant wait list won't be offered an organ if they refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine, citing the "significant risk the virus poses to transplant recipients."

UCHealth, which operates 12 hospitals from its headquarters in Aurora, Colo., says it has long been standard practice to require many organ recipients or donors to get vaccines such as hepatitis B or the MMR shot.

The hospital system added COVID-19 to its vaccine list a few weeks ago ...

After two shots of the coronavirus vaccines, only a minority of renal transplant recipients – some 35% – developed neutralizing antibodies, new research conducted at the Sheba Medical has shown ...

The paper was published in the journal Transplantation, while the physicians are already working on a follow-up study considering the immune response after the booster, with possibly 86% developing antibodies ...

“Renal transplants are a high-risk population for COVID-19 infection and complications, including prolonged hospitalizations and mortality,” she noted. “At the same time, these individuals don’t respond well to vaccines. With the coronavirus epidemic, therefore, it was important for us to explore the response to the vaccine.”

Patients who undergo renal transplants are prescribed immunosuppressive drugs after the surgery for the remainder of their lives, to prevent their immune system from rejecting the organ they received. This same mechanism interferes with the immune system's ability to deal with illness or to create antibodies from vaccinations ...

I have no issue with this rule

After all, who knows what's in anti-rejection drugs? I heard that Jeff Bezos has microwave-relay chips in the anti-rejection drugs that secretly tap into the Starlink data stream so he can track my armpit bacterial load, and also that they alter my DNA and make me a gay homosexual with Parkinson's disease and a club foot and they block out the word of God so I become an atheist!





And because we live in the worst possible timeline, I expect the above paragraph to be stated, earnestly, in public, and on camera, by a Q-idiot before Christmas.

Including all vaccines recommended by your surgeon. Smokers cannot get a lung transplant, either.
