Man Can’t Get Heart Transplant Because He’s Not Vaccinated Against Covid

Reasoning:<p>“Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off,” Caplan said. “The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving.”

Uhhh, the reasoning is such a slippery slope and will end up sowing more division among us. I wouldn&#x27;t be mad at any unvaccinated person who would withdraw themselves as an organ donor due to this. Can&#x27;t get, won&#x27;t give. Fair play.<p>We live in such broken times, I hope we can bounce back from this, but I only see more and more fragmentation.

&gt; <i>It’s kind of against his basic principles; he doesn’t believe in it.</i><p>What doesn&#x27;t he believe in exactly? Vaccination is a no go, but cutting his chest open, removing his heart, and shoving someone else&#x27;s heart in there is a non-issue?

that man said it best &quot;it&#x27;s his body it&#x27;s his choice&quot; as stan lee would say &#x27;nuff said. I&#x27;d probably have to agree with the doctor&#x27;s logic though.
