Hospital refuses to perform kidney transplant on 9-year-old boy because his father is unvaccinated

A 9-year-old boy is being denied a kidney transplant by a hospital because his father is not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Tanner Donaldson is a regular third-grader who loves to play basketball and lacrosse. However, Tanner was born with one kidney, and it only functions between 18-20% of maximum capacity.

"He was born with a birth defect called posterior urethral valves. It's a valve that blocks urine from exiting the body," Tanner's father, Dane Donaldson, told WEWS-TV.

The family is managing Tanner's condition right now, but at some point, he will need a kidney transplant. In 2018, both of Tanner's parents were found to be perfect donor matches to give a kidney to their son.

The family wanted to put off having the surgery as long as possible since transplanted kidneys from a live donor only last an average of 20 years.

Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Now, the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital is refusing to perform the operation because the father is unvaccinated. The Donaldsons received a letter from the hospital in November notifying them that all donors and organ recipients must be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to get a transplant surgery. .........................

The hospital policy has to be government driven.  There is no other reason for it.   Maybe they lose a lot of government funding if they allow the transplant operation from an unjabbed donor.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I believe I heard the hospital would do a transplant from an unvaxed deceased donor, just not from an unvaxed living donor. Makes perfect sense.  9999hair out0000

A lot of hospital policy is government driven. The unfortunate reality of taking government money is you’re  under government dictates
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
The UGLY TRUTH is that the vaccines have a max efficacy of 40%, not ninety anything percent.  All the policies and all the understanding we have as a society of the vaccines from pharma and the government is all based on lies.  And now the lives of people that could be helped are being threatened. 

How any doctor in good conscience can support these moronic policies? 

A paper has been approved for publication that will spell out just how WORTHLESS these vaccines are in reality!!!!!!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
