This is pure evil. I would be livid if my loved one donated an organ and a needy recipient was denied for this ridiculous reason.

[@lightgiver7311]

We had two people in Canada that were allowed to die, one woman requiring a lung transplant, and a man with 5 beautiful little girls was denied a kidney transplant, even though he had two brothers standing by to donate one of theirs, left to die. To me, this is murder.

[@BeBedabit]

Agree

[@janeofthejungle4]

I’m also Canadian and I also saw those 2 stories and we even donated to the woman to try to help, before she sadly passed. This is all sooo horrifying and sooo tragic and heartbreaking 😢

[@morgantaylor517]

Canada is so f*cked up. I believe it's being used as a testing ground to see how gullible people are and how difficult it is to manipulate people into doing things they don't want to. I despise Trudeau and all the Canadian politicians for the most part.

Happened in Canada, but it was a kidney transplant. That lady died because she didn't get the vaccine. A coworker of mine, her dad wouldn't have been put on the kidney transplant list if he didn't get vaccinated, this was in Alberta, Canada. He has had terrible health issues since he got the vaccine.

[@quantumac]

Those novel "medications" were only made available _under emergency use authorization._ Requiring the use of a medication with such a poor safety profile, and which has no long-term safety data before a life-saving procedure, is bad policy.

[@avaschannel1754]

Especially since they don’t stop infection or transmission

[@Mystery_G]

Friendly reminder: Emergency Use Authorization is a policy implemented for military use. The intentionally planned push on the public to inject themselves with untraceable and untrialed injections made this a crime against humanity. The implementation of EUA made this a war crime.

A friend of mine had the same thing happen to her husband! Her children also had to get the jab in order for her husband to get the transplant! He got the jab, the transplant and subsequently died!

1Peter 3:8-9 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1Thessalonians 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Romans 12:17-18 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Yes it may be horrible what has been done, and in some case's is continuing to be done, but let us not render evil for evil, amen And on a side note let us heed the warning of 1Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. "Careful not to pierce yourself through with many sorrows."

Criminal behavior

[@TheKingdomcome]

Considering that most of my patients who get sick are the jabbed and my healthier ones have had none, the question should be, why arent the unjabbed prioritized.

[@MissAnthropeR6]

Disgusting. I'm so tired of all the BS in the world.

[@janellemiller1195]

I was denied being able to be part of an IBS study because i was never vaccinated for covid in 2024. The study is being conducted by UPMC in Pittsburgh. My question was what does the covid vaccine have to do with IBS. I never got an answer. I matched all of the other qualifications for the study. I was told if i got vaccinated then i caught be part of the study.

[@Dee-743]

My lifelong and worsening IBS vastly improved on keto/carnivore. Daily stomach aches are now rare.

[@dirtyskieschemifornia3091]

Covid attacks your organs. I almost checked out from acute pancreatitus the first time my family got it. But they're probably covertly studying the vax not whatever they said... ibs or whatever

[@babalu-oc6iu]

after the way they treated me for being unvaccinated, i would never volunteer for any studies. so they can go around lying.

[@miklimecat9636]

There is a study where issues like IBS and constipation resolved by taking away fiber from the diet. Carnivore also works because there's no fiber in that way of eating.

[@olibertosoto5470]

I was expecting something like this ever since a friend of mine was refused to be seen by his gp around 3 years ago because he was not vaxed. You're right, this is not about practicing medicine, it's ideological bs and it's not going to stop.

[@craigfrith7024]

It’s only going to get worse unfortunately.

[@skepticalmom2948]

But there is no more mandates.

[@sevenmileshome]

When I was an intern working in the SICU, we had a Crit Care fellow say that he would refuse or intentionally delay placing patients on ECMO if they weren't vaccinated because "its their fault, fuck them." And no one blinked an eye. I was under their finger for my rotation evaluation so I was terrified to confront him or report the situation. What has happened to us in medicine? What about putting our biases aside for the sake of patient care? The situation is also complicated because decisions were being made about who gets ECMO since the devices and time required were limited. For those that do not know, Surgical Crit Care fellows have a huge weight on their shoulders and are under tremendous stress. While some personal bias was displayed by the fellow, the most disturbing thing was that NO ONE said a word. We just went along like we all agreed with him, terrified of speaking out due to the underlying culture of modern medicine.

[@SymphonicEllen]

In places that were more scared, which is pretty proportionate to how much MSM you watch and how often you're on social media, they were more likely to fire those who would ask questions or didn't want to take it. So few were left to ask. They also haven't been hiring/promoting the type of people that will ask for years. Particularly conservatives, but overall just smart people. It's now more important to make sure peoples feelings aren't hurt by bad grades.

The medical-pharmaceutical industry has fallen into ideological insanity. People are being discriminated against and denied treatment. I hope they begin to take these hospitals to court and sue them for damages and suffering. A few multi million dollar malpractice settlements might change the current policy position.

[@67Geeza]

Same policy here in Australia, which has back fired because now there is a shortage of donor organs.

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Seems criminal that this is going on in 2024. Also - can you do a video about medical data breaches? Today, I rec'd yet ANOTHER letter informing me of a medical data breach. I don't recognize the company - they say they work with hospitals, clinics, etc so it's a 3rd party kind of a deal? I've recently had surgery so have seen lots of medical folks.

[@Elemenohpea440]

Honestly, they don’t want to treat patients who don’t comply. I cared for a distant family member who had a heart transplant and he almost didn’t qualify because he didn’t have enough social support near the hospital. He was from a rural area and had to travel to a hospital 4 hours away which happened to be where I lived. His mom reached out to me, and my husband and I got every kind person we knew to write letters to the hospital, convincing them that he had our support. I even had my priest go to an appointment with him as his spiritual advisor (he wasn’t religious, but the priest was a big help to him in the end) This is all to say that getting an organ is a big deal and they’re more likely sussing out who will be or won’t be compliant in the future.

[@candyce2144]

This low-key reminds me of the Ronald McDonald house kicking families/patients out for no vaccination.

[@CJP-oz6hr]

I personally had to get the covid vaccine before my transplant before being put on wait list …..received double lung transplant in 2022. I’ve yet to have had covid but I limited my exposure to the public especially during flu/RSV season. Edit: In no way am I crediting the vaccine for my not having contracted covid.

[@michaelkulman7095]

What a sordid affair it was and is... I give you some credit for pondering if one shot made sense for young people, especially males but I still think with what was both known and unknown at the time zero shots for at least the young could have been the recommendation and a recommendation differs from a mandate. Since there is and never was proof of meaningful interference with spread and infection I never favored mandating the shots for anyone! The Typhoid Mary arguments were effluvium! People, perhaps with the advice of a doctor and some research including what are the recommendations can make their own uncoerced decisions as is their right. A lot of games were played about a lot of things like head games, money games, fame games, power games... No shots for the young without serious risk factors should have been on the table and adults can look at recommendations and decide for themselves realizing hopefully that age and other risk factors might apply but then again what is the IFR and what might be the risks of the shots and at what point in the pandemic are we as to virulency and natural, acquired through infection, immunity? The idea that the recommendation for 7 year olds was the same as 70 year olds is just insane and immoral. Where was the risk assessment? Was this the crime of the century? Time will tell...we already know many disturbing things... A case that this was a violation of The Nuremberg Medical Code as to coersion can be made... The virus was known to be highly age stratified in terms of risk and the shots didn't seem to inhibit spread or prevent infection so its problematic, "the evil men do"...whether they intend to or not!

We should always remember that Medicine is not a science. It's a system of thought and practice that "uses" science as "part" of its procedures, but also lots of other ideas outside of what we would term "scientific" are employed to make decisions. Opinions, based on judgments formed in one person's mind can legitimately differ from judgments formed in another person's mind, using the same collection of facts, as what is "emphasized" and deemed "important" by one person is considered "irrelevant" to another.

2:30 Discrimination isn't illegal. Insurance charge higher rates to men. Women pay more at the hair salon. Having different bathrooms for men and women is discrimination. So is using your driving record to set insurance rates. You have to be within a certain age range to join the military. Drinking laws discriminate against those under the age of 21. Employers can discriminate based on appearance. Only SPECIFIC TYPES of discrimination are illegal.
