So we'll just let you die?


Cleveland Clinic joins Colorado Hospital and says it will stop performing organ transplants for unvaccinated people due to fears of recipients being vulnerable to Covid

  • The Cleveland Clinic will no longer allow people unvaccinated against COVID-19 to receive organ transplants
  • Official cite the danger that people who receive transplants face from the virus as reason to deny them the operation
  • A person also must be vaccinated in order to donate to be a living organ donor due to fears Covid may be able to transmit through the procedure 
  • UCHealth in Colorado made headlines last week for instituting a similar policy and denying an unvaccinated woman a kidney transplant
  • Previous studies found that people who receive organ transplants do not generate strong antibody responses to the vaccine
