No wonder Dr. Seuss was "cancelled" /s

An Ohio man's life-saving kidney transplant surgery was canceled because of Cleveland Clinic's new vaccination policy, his wife has said.
Mike Ganim was told his polycystic kidney disease was so advanced that he needed a new kidney around two years ago and, following months of preparation, transplant surgery was scheduled to take place on Wednesday.
But his wife Debi Ganim told WKYC that they were informed on Friday that it would not be going ahead because of the clinic's new policy that requires COVID-19 vaccinations for both transplant recipients and living donors.
Although Mike Ganim is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, his donor is not.
"It made us feel like we were back to square one. I've been terrified," Debi Ganim said. "It's just wrong in so many ways."
The donor, Sue George, is a longtime acquaintance who came forward after Debi Ganim posted a request on Facebook asking people to get a blood test to see if they would be a match for organ donation.
George told the station that doctors at the clinic had known she was not vaccinated and had not said it would be a problem.
"We were blind-sighted," George told WKYC, adding that she didn't want to get vaccinated. "I've got reasons—medical, religious, and also freedom," she said.
The Ganim family, of Eastlake, are hoping they can still proceed with the surgery, possibly if George undergoes her part at another hospital.

So, are they going to require the donors that are dead to be vaccinated too?
Three or five years from now, hospitals and other institutions will claim they never had these draconian policies on Covid vaccines. It will be gaslighting with a blowtorch.
Wrong order.
And FREEDOM dare not be an "and also" afterthought.
Hypocratic Oath ?
They will say “It was never our offcial policy. Doctor X was unauthorized to implement such a policy change without proper full review. Our rules do not allow for that in any way!
Doctor X is not working at this hospital now. No one knows where he is.”
People must die to ensure people don’t die...
The logic of the Left, ladies and gentlemen.
Vaxxed or not, you just know they died from COVID.
Sick F****
Immoral.
I can think of quite a few people that have no problem with this.
The American citizen was taken out Medical Government Death Panel style by the Biden Communist Regime.
There are no death panels…until there are
Being picky here but this is Newsweek: “We were blind-sighted . . .”
Hey Newsweek, did your proofreader get fired for not being vaccinated? The term is “blind-sided”.
so. phucking. what. the donor was unvaxxed.
so what.
this is medical genocide rationalized away for the lamest of reasons
people you can’t trust your government anymore and yoy sure as gell cant trust thge medical death “profession” anymore.
do so at your family’s and your own peril
I recited a new liver in May, and while I feel bad for my donor’s family, I couldn’t care less if my donor had been vaccinated. I waited 4years for a match and it finally happened.
God Bless my donor and his/her family, but DAMN the hospital if they don’t reverse this decision!
There were people on another thread supporting the denial of a transplant for an unvaxxed person. I’m sure they will be along shortly.
The world is going insane. This evil insanity is infecting everything, everywhere we turn. The only good thing I can see out of this madness is that it reminds me to hug my family longer and more often.
Sick. Bastards
