University of Colorado Health denies kidney transplant to unvaccinated patient

A friend of mine had a kidney transplant this past summer. She was required to be vaccinated against covid (already had it). She also had to lose a significant amount of weight and pass several tests for blood pressure and other medical risks. They told her that they needed to ensure that whoever received a donor kidney would survive long enough to make it worth “spending” the kidney on, since they are in such short supply. That makes sense to me.

If she had been a smoker who refused to stop, could not lose the weight, or not taken measures like getting the vaccine, she would have been considered unqualified.

someone i knew died after covid complications after a kidney transplant. i believe he was un-vaccinated as well. It makes sense since transplants of any kind leave the patient severely immunocompromised, if they met some family friends or something during this time, the consequences could be grave.

Why is twitter not letting people see and talk about this? What happened to discourse? I'm completely unsurprised that a tweet that shows how extreme our covid discourse/mitigations have become has been removed/deleted.
