So you are saying there is a house on the market now?

Step 2: find out

On the flip side, transplant given to person who follows medical advice

Trusts doctors enough to be cut open and have someone elses organ inserted into their body. Doesn't trust doctors enough to get vaccinated

She died rather than accepting a free to her, safe, and effective vaccine.

I had a double lung transplant 6 years ago. You have to be EXTREMELY compliant to even get put on the list.

So many meds and tests and shit stuff you need to follow EXACTLY, every 12 hours, every day, for the rest of your life.

If you refuse a vaccine you're never going to care for your new lungs. It's not easy.

Better the organ saved the life of a non-moron.

What do you mean I have to stop drinking gin if I want a liver transplant?

Patient dies because she didn't follow doctor's advice.

If you aren’t gonna take steps to protect yourself, you’re not worthy. There’s a long list and many people who will work hard to safeguard such a gift.

“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 — COVID-19 — which I do not have and which I may never have,” Lewis said in an affidavit.

I guess she died with a clear conscious. 🙄

Seriously though, taking an organ from the waitlist and then inevitably getting COVID while immunocompromised is .. not very cool.. for the next person on the waitlist.

They don't give organs to alcoholics who don't stop drinking either.

Good luck getting a heart of you refuse to quit eating a hamburger an hour.

Look, you have to pass a baseline level of taking care of yourself to qualify for an organ, and vaccinations are the bottom, base level first line of defense.

Transplants are incredibly strict about you not just wanting to live, but doing everything you can in order to live. It is good that the transplant went to someone with a sense of self-preservation. Utter waste on the likes of her.

What a bonkers hill to literally die on.

"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.

Woman chooses to die in favor of the comfort of stupidity.

Freedom isn't freedom from consequences

The important thing is that she stuck to her principles. :/

Solution: Get vaccinated. (It's Postmedia, so odds are pretty good the story is exaggerated or outright fake)

rip bozo. That was her fully conscious choice to die

Tragic, one more victim of a toxic belief

Good. These people paid their nickel and took their chances. It's not anyone else's fault that they made a stupid bet. It's no different than those whiners suing over their stupid NFTs being bad investments.

damn that sucks better luck next time tho
