Republicans pretend organ transplant rules are a new penalty for the unvaccinated

Republican lawmakers want to override long-standing hospital policies to advantage vaccine refusers.

House Republicans are pushing legislation to override long-standing guidelines regulating organ transplants, in an effort to provide special treatment for those who refuse to get COVID-19 vaccinations. They are falsely claiming the ethics rules are "heartless" and "blatantly unethical."

On Tuesday, Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) introduced the Stop Arduous Vaccine Enforcement (SAVE) Act "to prohibit transplant centers from discriminating against an individual seeking an organ on the basis of whether the individual is vaccinated against COVID-19."

"It is unimaginable that organ transplant centers would deny American citizens life-saving medical procedures solely for being unvaccinated against COVID-19," Cline told Fox News. "The SAVE Act ensures that no one is denied an organ transplant or donation based on their vaccination status."

3. The intense ignorance of these RWers (and increasingly large percentages of Americans) will be the

death of us all. If you have kids, how can you not be intensely angry 24/7 at what these morons are doing to them now and in the future?

4. It wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't intentional ignorance...

6. Like Lawrence said and did last night for the state Trooper in Washington.....the RW use

these people and when they die after they made them there 5 minute hero of the moment they don't say a word...and Lawrence last night asked his viewers to help the family of that dead trooper......

7. The key here is to caterwaul against vaccine mandates.

Logic and sensibility were not invited to the party.

9. There are all kinds of restrictions for getting transplants and the vaccine is but one. I imagine

an idiot refusing to get vaccinated would be sending a signal that they will pick and choose what medical advice to follow and would be a very bad candidate for transplantation. You can't take worm medicine instead of anti-rejection drugs. The scarce available organs have to go to people who won't waste them.
