A woman whose kidney transplant was only months away is looking for somewhere she can have the procedure after they learned that the Colorado-based health system UCHealth is denying coverage in “almost all situations” for organ transplants for patients and living donors who have not had their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Leilani Lutali, who suffers from stage 5 renal failure, told CBS4 in Denver that she got a letter on Sept. 28 from UCHealth informing her that the University of Colorado Hospital’s transplant team has listed her as inactive on the transplant waiting list because she and her donor did not have their shots.
The letter said Lutali has 30 days to start the vaccination series, and if she refuses to get the shots, she’ll be removed from the kidney transplant list until she gets her shots, at which time she’d be reactivated, depending on her health condition at the time.
Lutali told the news station that it was confirmed at the end of August that she and donor Jaimee Fougner, who she met 10 months ago, would not need their COVID-19 shots for the procedure.

Communism!!!
The same מלאכי חבלה in hospitals who caused the “pandemic / epidemic / מגיפה” in 2020 as well covid illness with their vaks, are refusing to cure patients who are not ready to be murdered by their vaks.
Does anyone still doubt the following report?

She is imuno compromised to the max. Why should she be givin a rare organ if she doesnt care about her own health??
Since you care so much about your own health, I hope you took the 4th jab.
When the Hippocratic oath was replaced with the Hypocritic oath and $$$$ replace M.D., thank you bureaucrats, politicians and the normal assortment of greed.
I don’t know about the donor, but it makes sense that the recipient should take the vaccine before the procedure.
A transplant recipient is at extremely high risk because the anti-rejection medication taken following the transplant prevents new antibodies from being formed. Any small infection, be it CoVid or a small cold, can be extremely deadly and far outweighs any possible risk the vaccine might pose. Also, once the medication is being taken the vaccine cannot do its job so it’s best taken in plenty of time before the procedure.
Are you crazy? Which sane person takes a death jab for whatever reason? It would be a waste for a donor to give a transplant anyone who got the death jab.
I am very pro-vax and have gotten vaccinated myself, but given the (admittedly skimpy) facts I know about this case I completely disagree with the hospital. While I think the donor and recipient should be vaccinated for their own sakes, if they choose not to it affects only themselves as far as the transplant. And if the recipient chooses to have a higher morbidity rate in she contracts COVID, the risk is hers alone, and therefore her business.
I do not think she was “denied”, only she was bumped much lower on the wait list. The article says her transplant was “months away” and now no longer is.
Transplant list take into account compiance. After the transplant people have to take drugs which have nasty side effects and are dangerous. Fair enough that someone does not want to, but then, the organ can be allocated to someone who is prepared to do that. Please understand even moderate or occasional alcoholic drink will cause people to be bumped down the list, if not kicked out completely.
There is no easy solution because there are few organs and many people who need them.
