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

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

-These comments are fukking stupid. There's no reason to assume he'll be dead in a week cause he's not vaxxed. Or that he's not otherwise reasonably healthy or some random patient with the vax will live for decades.

If a patient isn't following sound medical advice BEFORE the transplant, why assume he'd follow it after?

And that antirejection cocktail they give you got a hell of alot more spooky things on than the covid vaxx. I think you have to take them drugs for years too

On a positive note, this heart will save another's life. thank you for this generous contribution. Because of covid supply line delays, your Darwin award will arrive in 6 - 8 months.

The doctors making the decision seem to side with people you quoted

-Nah, doctor mentioned Covid vax among others types & lifestyle choices. Didn't say shyt about dying in a week.

-Edit: I was specific about what I responded to.

“It’s kind of against his basic principles,

It’s a policy they are enforcing

He has his principles.

The hospital has theirs.

Don’t get mad because the hospital is doing the same thing your son is doing.

Enjoy the moments that you have left with your son, pops.

A lot of the responses from vax nazis

Use Right-Wing terms on a Black website, brehs.​

So you’ll let them tinker with yr ticker but a vaccine is just absurd

i don't understand why you trust them to cut your chest open but don't trust a vaccine.


i try to stay out of the whole vaccine debate at this point, but when i see stories like this i can't help but ask what the logic is.

Those two things are unrelated. It's still possible the vaccine is faulty in some way.

However, if it's die for sure, or risk it with the shot, I'm taking the shot, and I'm a skeptic.

Because the 'them' in this story in the hospital is not the same 'them' producing the vaccines.

I for my 2 moderna shots btw, i'm just saying..

False. You are required to have certain vaccines before you get a transplant. I know this from my mother's kidney transplant operation.​

No, I'm talking about what he said about "trust". Trusting heart transplant, an old, proven technique, and a vaccine that's a year or two old with no long term testing.

'Them' in the hospital agree, wholeheartedly, with 'them' producing the vaccine.​

-Since he's in the hospital at the top of the list it's safe to assume he followed everything but the vax. This response was dumb unless you're implying he was gonna get the transplant then say fukk everything else immediately after.
