Where did I say I’m trying to stick it to the program.
I said I can’t support a segregated program.
I wouldn’t donate to terrorist organizations either.
I am not trying to “stick” it to anyone. I will still want to be donating just to science only. That is the best I can do. I didn’t make it this way.
Yet you have not addressed the hospitals that are denying sick people an organ. You look at me negatively for it but not them.
And you want to talk about things that are illogical. LOL
Sorry if it comes across as me looking at you negatively, but as I said before, the decision to withdraw from an organ donor registry doesn’t make sense. People can decide not to donate for whatever reason they want, maybe it’s because the sky is grey today! They can do it!
Nor does encouraging others to withdraw their consent (actually, that, I do look at negatively)
Sick people get the vaccine, they get the organ (if otherwise eligible).
Lots of decisions on organ allocation are made on who will benefit the most/ will have the best chance of surviving with the transplanted organ intact. This involves encroaching on people’s “rights”.
You need a liver, but refuse to get treatment for your alcoholism and insist on exercising your right to drink a 26er a day, you don’t get a liver, and you die.
You need a heart or a lung, will die without it, but want to exercise your right to smoke? No heart or lung for you, and you die.
You need an organ to survive, but want to exercise your right to not attend appointments or follow the treatments prescribed by the doctor? You don’t get the organ and you die.
I don’t agree with denying unvaccinated all healthcare, but organ allocation is different. Not because of the massive cost to the system, but because there are more potential recipients than available organs. So when an organ fails, or a transplanted patient dies, someone on the wait list who might have benefitted from that organ also died. So the bar for ability to benefit from the treatment is set pretty high.
The other concern is yhe responsibility to other transplanted patients. You will be sharing a hospital ward and clinic waiting room with them, and vaccines work in people with transplants, but not as well, so a patient that gets covid, could spread it to others who might die from the infection, and another organ is lost that could have saved someone.
