Poll of the Day > ANTI-VAXX Woman Sobs UNCONTROLLABLY cause the HOSPITAL will let her DIE!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah this has little to do with the covid vaccine and more about how transplants work in general. If you're not doing whatever you can to decrease the odds of the organ being rejected then you shouldn't be a high priority for a transplant, no matter where the organ comes from

You're also assuming they are going to contract covid while in recovery, which is highly unlikely.

It would assuredly kill them if they did get it since they'll have weakened immune systems so the hospital not wanting this risk seems reasonable to me

I don't think this has anything to do with decreasing chance of rejection. It has to do with decreasing odds of death from covid after receiving an organ transplant.

Like mentioned many times before, the likelihood is far higher when unvaccinated. we're also taking into account the fact that you need to be immunosuppressed before an organ transplant though; as of such, the chance is dramatically higher. and I mean dramatically. do they tell a bone marrow transplant patient to leave the hospital? no, they absolutely do not.

kinda looks like this stuff is...I dunno...important???

Why would that be highly unlikely? She's going to be immunocompromised for the rest of her life. The dosage is typically lowed after 6-12 months, once the greatest risk of rejection has passed, but she will need to keep taking immunosuppressing drugs to keep the transplanted organ stable. This is not a matter of her being immunosuppresed after a couple weeks in a protected hospital environment where she is unlikely to be exposed to Covid, this is forever. She'll be going out into the world and living her life, and because she's both unvaccinated and severely immunocompromised, there's a very high chance that Covid will kill her.

In this story, the donor volunteered and is a match and is willing to accept to the risk to give this woman her kidney. There is no need to bring up other people who need a kidney.

That doesn't mean the doctors are going to be willing to impose the associated risks (the donor must also be immunosuppressed prior to the donation, to say nothing of the normal risks of donation) when there's a considerable chance that there will be no long-term benefit.
