    “Taking this vaccine offends my conscience. I ought to have the choice about what goes into my body, and a lifesaving treatment cannot be denied to me because I chose not to take an experimental treatment for a condition”

    Hun, you’re not the only person who is looking for a transplant. If you’re not going to protect yourself from COVID-19, you don’t get the organ. Plain and simple.

      Yup. The courts have long held that being vaccinated can be a requirement of getting an organ transplant. Organs are hard to come by and they should go to the people who are going to listen to their doctor and do what needs to be done to keep that organ alive for a long time. If not, it should go to someone who will.

        If she won’t jump through that hoop, how many others will she refuse down the road?

        “Taking this anti-rejection medication offends my conscience. These drugs are chemicals!”

        “Getting an hour of cardio a day offends me, I should decide what activities I perform.”

        “Being told to keep my BMI in the healthy range to keep my transplant healthy is offensive and is implying I’m fat.”

        Transplant teams want compliant patients. Refusing a vaccine right off the bat means you are the non-compliant type who likely won’t be a success.

          I put on the mask months before it was required because it was the right thing to do. I kept wearing the mask for months after they were required because it was the right thing to do.

          You put on the mask when you were told to and took it off when you were told you could.

          You call me sheeple? Give your fucking head a shake. You anti-reality cultists think with one brain and it isn’t yours.

      I’m not sure whether I take more offense to people still calling the vaccine experimental or thinking it’s a treatment. Being so desperately against something without bothering to even pretend to understand what it is or why irks the shit out of me. Good riddance.

        For an “experimental vaccine” it’s had a pretty amazing job at limiting the severity of covid and reducing deaths. If only all experiments were that successful

        🎼This was a triumph🎶
        🎼I’m making a note here: “huge success”🎶

        Seriously, the experiment is over. The stuff works great. That is not a valid excuse.

      You’d think if she really wanted to live she’d jump through any amount of hoops needed, you know like your life depended on it… apparently not
