Sheila Annette Lewis had an incurable disease. She was refused a transplant because she refused to get the COVID vaccine

We respect those who have given life as their final act by making sure their organs aren’t wasted.

Those going through organ transplants are immunocompromised and it is especially important that they be vaccinated. Giving someone who is rejecting medical advice related directly to the transplant and it’s aftermath isn’t something we can do while there’s an organ shortage.

That’s the other angle. Someone has to die to donate organs (other than kidneys and I think liver). There aren’t enough organs to go around. Who lives and who dies? It’s a classic philosophical conundrum.
