Lol "zero consequences"?! They literally let this lady die because she didn't take it

A lack of privilege is not a consequence. Receiving an organ donation is a gift, not a right.

Fact of the matter is there are a lot of people waiting for organs, whomever you give it to somebody else is going to die. When you get an organ transplant you have to take medication that leaves you immuno compromised.

So you have two people in front of you in need of an organ but only one organ to give it out. One is up to date on all their vaccinations and has been following their doctors instructions. The other thinks they know better than their doctor and has refused to get vaccinations. Which one of these two people do you think will have a better chance of surviving longer once immnuo compromised from the transplant?

"Woman who refused vaccine gets organ transplant, dies of COVID a month later" is a much shittier headline.
