Colorado woman denied needed kidney transplant for being unvaccinated

Seen a post about this on FB and in the comments .. a lot were saying they were changing there donor status to NO ..

Colorado Kidney Patient Denied Transplant Due to Vaccine Status – Both Willing Donor and Patient Unvaccinated, Hospital Refuses Surgery​

This is concerning at the baseline level. This becomes even more concerning when you overlay that both the kidney donor and the transplant patient are unvaccinated and aligned without issue. The hospital is refusing the transplant surgery based solely on their vaccinated status.

DENVER (KDVR) — A patient on the kidney transplant list was moved to inactive status by UCHealth for not receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Her living donor is also unvaccinated and UCHealth said both need to be vaccinated for the transplant process to continue.

Most transplant patients I see are financially depleted and 100% govt entitlement dependent. So if Fed funds are withheld from facilities that don’t require vaccination, do you think that stops with employees? Univ Co not the only Univ Med Ctr following this protocol. I checked on this issue with our transplant team and was told they could not legally answer my questions about service denial. The patients are left on the list and denied progression of service. I have no reservations suggesting that this is nationwide. Transplant services are governed tightly from state and national level. I bet UNOS has this requirement posted in stone.

From the comments section..

What is the Hospitals real reason .. ?? .. the Surgeons wear a mask during the operation


ohhhhh $$$$$$

We always knew medical ethics would go down the toilet with the government leadership in charge.

I would sue the fuck out of them.

this is when we will start hearing gun fire

Transplants have often been denied over prediction of poor outcome. That can include comorbidities out of the recipient's control, or because of injurious lifestyle choices...denied for smoking weed: Hospitals Deny Patients Organ Transplants for Smoking Weed denied to alcoholics: The Tricky Ethics of Transplants for Addicts

The question to be answered is: should transplant suitability be completely independent of the recipient's specifics, or should it continue to take into consideration those specifics? If the latter, lack of vaccination for covid has a statistically-backed argument.

By the time it weaved through the court system you would be dead.

I'm listed as an organ donor (a heart on my driver's license). I guess they won't want my organs because I'm not vaccinated. I wonder how things will go if I try to get myself out of that program.

EDIT:
Looks like it's not that hard: https://donatelife.ny.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/English-Removal-Form.pdf

There's even lots of white space at the bottom to explain why I'm withdrawing.

That applies only to allocating a scarce donor organ.

When you *must* choose only one recipient, it makes sense to give it to the one it has the best chance of helping.

This is not that case. This is a directed donation, if this woman doesn't get the kidney, nobody does.

That does seem like a weird rule in this case then...

Not weird at all once you acknowledge that the intent is to coerce people into compliance and has nothing to do with public health.

BULLSHIT!!! weed, and alcohol are self inflicted. there is no excuse to deny a person a transplant due to vaccine status. this is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. And if the person were to die due to this utter BULLSHIT, the doctor and the hospital should be held accountable

Be prepared. This will trickle down to even basic needs. It's comin.

This isn't about public health. A lot of people have already figured that out.
Some sooner than others. But a lot of people get it by now. Then there are the dumb asses.
The gullible sheep like doomers.

The firing of the healthcare workers during a so called pandemic is the proof.
That this is not, and never has been, about public health.

Bingo. A lot of people need to wake the hell up.

So, I'm confused. The DOCTORS are refusing to do the surgery because the PATIENT is not "vaccinated" ? Have I got that right ? Or is it the hospital admin making the decision ?

I seem to recall more than one case where a baker was FORCED to bake a cake against their will, or where a photographer was FORCED to take pictures against their will. There are more cases just like this.

Now the hospital is refusing to provide the PUBLIC SERVICE that it is chartered to provide brcause they "don't want to" ?
