Colorado transplant patients are being given an impossible choice
American Thinker ^ | 8 Oct, 2021 | Pandra Selivanov

If they have a principled opposition to taking the COVID vaccine, the system is offering them no mercy.

In 1619, a physician named Charles de Lorme developed the famous plague doctor costume, consisting of a long leather coat and a beaked mask with crystal eyepieces. The beak was filled with herbs to protect the healer from the patient. This gear was developed out of the realization that diseased people were themselves infectious and that their very breath could infect others. The salient point is that doctors were willing to go among desperately ill patients and strive to heal them even though they had nothing more than a beaked mask and a long coat to protect themselves.

Four hundred years later, modern medicine has given us antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, anesthetics, safe blood transfusions, and a host of other improvements that not only allow people to live longer lives but also healthier and more vital lives. Personal protective equipment has evolved to include hazmat suits that allow doctors to work in any environment with complete safety. SNIP

Except they’re not. Doctors are lashing out at patients who refuse to be the subject of the mass mRNA experiment known as COVID vaccination. It’s disturbing enough when the very people we should be able to trust in times of sickness and pain despise us for not following their questionable advice.

It’s beyond disturbing when unvaccinated patients are denied care and left to die because doctors don’t want anything to do with the unvaccinated. Such is the case of Leilani Lutali, a woman with stage 5 kidney disease in imminent danger of dying without a transplant. Leilani is not vaccinated against COVID. She does not want to be vaccinated against COVID because of the fetal tissue used in generating the vaccines.

When society turns on these elitists it will not be a pretty scene.

No, it won’t and forcing anyone to get the vaccine under any circumstance is flat-out wrong. Period.

Nobody is forcing. But we’re not rewarding either. Your choice not to get vaccinated. Your choice not to follow minimum requirements for transplant. You can’t be drinking alcohol before kidney transplant. You can’t be 500 pounds and expect a knee replacement. Each surgery has minimum requirements. You have the choice to decline to follow them. My body, my choice indeed.

How to contact the medical center that made this deplorable, cold, and cruel decision:

False equivalency. Does someone with AIDS get medical treatment? Alcoholism? Drug dependency? Car accident? These are all “choice” problems, so you are suggesting they should not receive treatment? No -the Anschutz Medical Campus is making a virtue-signaling decision because they are mad that the patient does not want to take the jab. And they are hiding that anger behind a weak argument. Deplorable.

Oh…and this:

Tyrants/bullies always have a "good reason" -- an excuse -- to treat people badly ... to come up with new ways to force others to do their bidding. In this matter, the bullies have accelerated their dehumanity from:

-- "If you don't get the needle as I order you to do, then you cannot be part of society" to
-- "If you don't get the needle as I demand you to do, then you will lose your job" now to
-- "If you don't get the needle as I command you to do, then you will lose your life!"

Napscoordinator, you've been here a long time and have established your conservative credentials, but if you truly believe what you wrote; if you truly believe that "nobody is forcing" but rather "not rewarding", then you have accepted the concept that individual Liberty is subordinate to the needs of The Collective. There is quite simply no other way to look at it. Perhaps wearing that completely useless mask for the past 18 long months has affected you in a very bad way: It has further hidden your identity and it has, not unexpectantly, sustained your irrational fear, raised your level of distrust of and callousness toward your fellow citizens, and it clearly has increased your level of anger toward those free American citizens who don't adopt completely your personal rationale for getting the needle.

Who knows whether or not the needle will stop this virus? ... whether the benefits for getting the needle outweigh the risks? No one knows, but the results of nearly a year of experimentation throughout the world are arguably not that promising .. and yet the (political) science bullies plan to force the immune system-modifying needle on 5-year-olds whose natural immune systems are still developing ... and no one -- no one -- has any idea what will happen to these very young test subjects ... it's a matter of experimenting in real time.

I suggest, sincerely so, that you reflect on your position that doctors withholding lifesaving medical treatment because a person -- for whatever their personal reason -- has not gotten the needle is a good thing for our American Republic ... a good thing for Liberty.

Cheers!

Why any administrator is still walking around is beyond me.

You are right, there are requirements a patient has to meet. My wife had a knee replacement 4 years ago.
Over the past 27 years, I have had so many colonoscopies that I lost count.
Angiograms, upper GIs, CT scans, MRIs, MRCPs, ERCPs, stents in my major bile duct, lots of blood drawn, and for ALL of these procedures, I either had to fast or meet some other criteria beforehand.
But the big one was receiving a new liver earlier this year after being on the waiting list for 4 years. No alcohol, eating right, exercising regularly, and regular blood tests to gauge my liver function. I had already been “vaccinated” when I got the call, finally.
I think it’s reprehensible that a hospital turn someone down when it’s a matter of life or death.
Could she petition another transplant center to do the surgery? Sure, a patient CAN be tested and approved for transplant at MULTIPLE centers, to enhance their chances, but in her case, how long will that take? I don’t think she has the luxury of that much time.
She needs a good lawyer. If it was me, I’d find a damn good one. I’m sure that hospital doesn’t need or want the bad publicity or cost of a huge lawsuit.
Anyway, that’s my $0.02. 🙂

To add to my previous post, no one forced me to get the first two shots, my doctor urged me to get the booster, which I did about a month ago, but I am totally against forcing these experimental shots on anyone.

And how do we know those spike proteins won’t attack a transplanted organ. They are covering up the deaths of the vaxed. Personally if I needed a transplant and was offered one from a vaxed I might say no thanks. Probably ending up living longer

Christianity was behind a great deal of medical training and practice. Not any more. It’s that simple.

Principled opposition, you can drive a truck through that.

napscoordinator do you find joy in your medical tyranny? Go to DU with the other totalitarian control freaks.

As vaccinated and unvaccinated can carry the same viral load, and presumably the doctors are vaccinated, then why insist on the patient being vaccinated? How does that improve the doctor’s safety?

You’re really comparing apples to oranges here. We know alcohol and drug abuse and obesity can have bad effects on our organs because those effects have been studied for decades.

The vaccines are experimental. They have only been widely in use for less than a year. No one knows what they will do long term. We already know they won’t keep you from getting covid nor will they keep you from being hospitalized or dying. To make this vaccine a requirement for healthcare is insanity.

If you are faced with a life or death situation, and the person who can save you requires you do do something you feel is harmful or unethical, that is coercion. You are saying it is not forced because the person can choose... to die.

What happens when the shot is required to work, or to eat, or do any business, or leave their homes? Those are choices. How about Christians who are murdered for not submitting to Islam, those are choices. How about those who died in the Holocaust. Those were choices.

Just because people have a choice, does not mean that the choice forced upon them is right or ethical.
