Several hospitals have begun outright denying lifesaving organ transplants to unvaccinated patients.
Ironically, hospitals like UCHealth cite the patient’s health as the main reason they decided to implement this discriminatory, death-sentence-of-a policy.
“For transplant patients who contract COVID-19, the mortality rate ranges from about 20 per cent to more than 30 per cent.” said a spokesperson for UCHealth.
“This shows the extreme risk that COVID-19 poses to transplant recipients after their surgeries. In almost all situations, transplant recipients and living donors at UCHealth are now required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in addition to meeting other health requirements and receiving additional vaccinations. Some U.S. transplant centers already have this requirement in place, and others are making this change in policy now.”
Even if the 20 per cent or 30 per cent mortality rates are accurate, it is baffling that someone’s lifesaving procedure would be denied if not receiving a transplant would lead to death indefinitely.
Many rejected patients have since reached out to media outlets or posted on social media to alert the world to their distress.

One such patient, Leilani Lutali, who was diagnosed with Stage IV kidney disease last November, has been put on an inactive list, despite having a donor, according to reporter Michelle Malkin.
As Malkin reports, “Her condition worsened over the summer, leading her medical providers at UCHealth in Denver to begin discussion of an organ transplant. Blessed with a close-knit network of friends through her local Bible study, Leilani found a living donor in Jaimee Fougner, a former Air Force medic, triathlete, and medical assistant who has spent more than two decades in the health care field.”
Additionally, Malkin reports that Lutali already had COVID and tested positive for antibodies, which Pfizer scientists have admitted are better than the vaccine at preventing COVID-19.
This fact apparently means nothing to scientists who are hellbent on ignoring science.

Leilani & Jaimee were informed if they didn’t get COVID jabs, their transplant “journey would come to an end"…told flat-out "no exemptions"..,Leilani has now been placed on “inactive” list—a death sentence.https://t.co/8wz0gBfRh5— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) October 6, 2021
According to UCHealth communications vice president Dan Weaver says, “In almost all situations, transplant recipients and living donors at UCHealth are now required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in addition to meeting other health requirements and receiving additional vaccinations.”
For patients like Lutali, this refusal to perform a kidney transplant — especially when she has a donor ready to go — will likely be the decision that leads to the death of Lutali, assuming she cannot find a hospital that will perform the procedure.
In other words, ‘get the vaccine, or we will let you die.’
