Leilani Lutali reportedly received a letter from the UCHealth Transplant Center at its Anschutz Medical Campus which said:

"The transplant team at University of Colorado Hospital has determined that it is necessary to place you inactive on the waiting list. You will be inactivated on the list for non-compliance by not receiving the COVID vaccine. You will have 30 days to begin the vaccination series. If your decision is to refuse COVID vaccination you will be removed from the kidney transplant list. You will continue to accrue waiting time, but you will not receive a kidney offer while listed inactive. Once you complete the COVID vaccination series you will be reactivated on the kidney transplant list pending any other changes in your health condition."

What do you all think of this? Medical tyranny much?

We will not allow you to die to covid, says the hospital. Kidney failure is okay, though.
Sounds kinda outrageous to me. I understand the intent behind it, but I think this is not the correct way to go.

That's pathetic.

The hospital has a duty of care to look after their patients, Irrespective of the circumstances Involved.

It is U.S. law for a doctor to operate and treat an individual no matter the politics/identity/religion. I do not see how this is any different.

Is politics more important than saving lives? Really?

A number of years ago, I made a commitment to preventative health-care practices, and I haven't looked back since. This distinguishing trait separates my approach, and I haven't looked back since I discovered it. If I have a reasonable suspicion that anything is wrong with my health at any point in time, I seek medical assistance from a trained physician as soon as I am able. Fortunately, the majority of my medical care has been supplied by a single doctor over an extended period of time; unfortunately, he has just completed his medical studies and is no longer accessible to provide me with medical therapy at this time. I wanted to discover a different clinic as well as a medical practitioner who was more competent in order to get better results. The following day, after conducting an internet search, I discovered the website [link redacted] , which led me to a list of clinics that were both convenient for me and had access to the most up-to-date medical information available at the time of my need. Throughout the whole procedure, I got outstanding service and professionalism from the Bookinghealth staff, which included connecting me with the most appropriate doctor for my specific circumstance. Because of all they have done to make my life simpler, I owe them a debt of appreciation. They have provided me with invaluable support, and I am quite grateful to them for their aid. My life has been significantly influenced by their efforts, and I am quite grateful to them for their aid.
