Trumpity Trump Trump Trump.
**** off contrarian pants!

Trumpity Trump Trump Trump something something.
**** off Ms. Contrary Pants!

Sucks to have your blind partisanship called out doesn't it? Are you saying it's not a vaccine except for when Trump calls it a vaccine? Or are you saying Trump is as ignorant as the rest? Or?

I don't give a **** abouts what Trump says about the FAKE "vaccine", it is total GARBAGE!!!!!
There has NEVER BEEN a successful vaccine developed for respiratory viruses, and these POTIONS are no different!!!!
No matter how the definition of what a VACCINE is is mangled, these. EXPERIMENTAL INJECTIONS are NOT VACCINES!!!!

Better to give a kidney to someone who listens to their doctors.

Sure thing god.

But you seem to care what others say about it. Why is that?

Fine, but call them ALL out. Otherwise you simply look like a blind partisan.

 

[JustAGuy1]

The vaccine stops death, something which transplant recipients are at high risk of given their immunocompromised state.

More stupidity.

 

[JustAGuy1]

Undetermined how frequent or how long the vaccine has to be taken, but we do get an influenza vaccine annually.

The risk is definitely not equal.

No, "we" don't.

 

[JustAGuy1]

You sound like a moron.

Pot meet kettle.

If I needed a Kidney Transplant I would do whatever I had to for approval.

But, I guess to some, their COVID vaccination misinformation is more important than their life

Furthermore, this woman is going against her own doctors advice. If the protocol for the surgery is that you get the shot, you get the damn shot.

Does this woman thinks that her Surgeon and her primary care physicians are out to kill her?

When I was scheduled for surgery last year, the first thing I asked about was covid vaccines and whether I should have a booster before I had surgery.

 

[rightwinger]

You need a transplant, you have to follow the rules or drop down the list

I can smoke if I want to
You can’t tell me I can’t keep getting drunk
My weight is my own business
You cant make me get a COVID shot

Doesnt work that way

 

[Dragonlady]

No, "we" don't.

Are you saying that doctors should modify their protocols for treatment if the patient doesn’t want to do all of the things necessary to make their surgery successful?

I have a friend, who went to an allergy specialist who refused to treat her until she quit smoking. Why would he waste his time on her, when there are other people he could help who are non-smokers, and would get more benefit from his treatment.

There was a waiting list for this allergy specialist. Just as there’s a waiting list for kidney transplant. These are the protocols. If you’re not prepared to follow them, well then, NEXT.

Emory Healthcare is one of 35 percent of the nation’s transplant centers that are still requiring their patients to be vaccinated for COVID-19

Are the other 65% being irresponsible?

I don’t know. I’m not a medical professional, and I don’t pretend to be one on the Internet.

I have no knowledge of transplant protocols. But if my surgeon says to wear brown shoes to the hospital for my life saving surgery, then I’m gonna put on my brown shoes and go to the hospital.

I had knee replacement surgery last year. I waited for the top specialist in the area to be available for my surgery. He has a long waiting list and Covid lockdowns extended my wait by nearly a year.

I was given a long to do list before my surgery and I did everything on the list. I waited so long for that surgery I was not going to do anything to screw it up.

This woman takes all kinds of drugs and treatments in a month for her kidney problems. I do know that Dialysis shortens your life expectancy because I had a friend who was on Dialysis. This woman is balking at taking a safe vaccine and choosing to stay on Dialysis.

There is no sanity or logic in that position.

I agree with that. (Not being snarky, neither am I)

As you note, you are no expert on the long term affects of constant vaccine's.

There is no sanity or logic in that position.

If I was this woman would I take the risk of the vaccine? I would. As the doctor I wouldn't force it on her based upon the idea that the majority of doctors do not.

Quite frankly, I haven’t heard of a single person who genuinely got sick from the vaccine. There’s a program in Canada for vaccine injury they’ve had 50 claims and we are 80% fully vaccinated. That’s approximately 30 million people who have had more than two shots each.

I haven’t even heard of anyone getting Covid around here for months now, however summer is coming and this is a tourist town.

 

[Marener]

Pot meet kettle.

Sure dude. I suppose you think the transplant docs are also morons but you guys are the real geniuses.

 

[Marener]

Sure thing god.

Why hasn’t god fixed her kidneys?

 

[OldFlame]

How come all the libs here want the woman punished?

Because you will bow down to how they feel you should live your life, or else there will be repercussions for it. They are the 'religious right' of today, they are authoritarians, and they will degrade and belittle you if you don't think like them. And once that is accepted by the majority, the repercussions will become more than just name calling. 'Bigot', 'racist', etc.. is the new label of 'Sinner!'.

 

[rightwinger]

I don’t care what medical professionals require, I read the internet and will make my own decisions

Not a good candidate to follow post transplant requirements

Giving a kidney to a noncompliant patient is unfair to the people who need a kidney and are compliant.

She’s not being punished. if 65% of the hospital transplant hospitals in the US don’t require vaccination, why doesn’t she go to one of them?

She has other choices.

My friend, who went to the allergy specialist and was told he wouldn’t treat her, unless she quit smoking, threw her cigarettes in the trash bin when she left his office.

If she wants this specific hospital to treat her, it’s their liability insurance and their rules. She has no right or standing to dictate how they practice medicine. This is a private company and she has no enforceable right to treatment at this facility.

The unvaxxed are not a protected class.
