This is concerning at the baseline level. This becomes even more concerning when you overlay that both the kidney donor and the transplant patient are unvaccinated and aligned without issue. The hospital is refusing the transplant surgery based solely on their vaccinated status.
DENVER (KDVR) — A patient on the kidney transplant list was moved to inactive status by UCHealth for not receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Her living donor is also unvaccinated and UCHealth said both need to be vaccinated for the transplant process to continue.
The letter Leilani Lutali received states: “The transplant team at University of Colorado Hospital has determined that it is necessary to place you inactive on the waiting list. You will be inactivated on the list for non-compliance by not receiving the COVID vaccine. You will have 30 days to begin the vaccination series. If your decision is to refuse COVID vaccination you will be removed from the kidney transplant list. You will continue to accrue waiting time, but you will not receive a kidney offer while listed inactive. Once you complete the COVID vaccination series you will be reactivated on the kidney transplant list pending any other changes in your health condition.”
Lutali said she has religious concerns with the vaccines, as well as concerns that the vaccine would not be effective after receiving immunosuppressant drugs post-surgery.
“Both from a religious standpoint, and from doing some reading, I’m not certain that this is the right way to go,” she said. “The shot’s relatively new, and as a consumer, I’m not an early adopter, I wait and see what’s going on. I feel like I’m being coerced into not being able to wait and see, and that I have to take the shot if I want this life-saving transplant.”
Lutali’s potential donor, Jaimee Fougner, said she was also told she would not be eligible for the surgery since she is unvaccinated as well.
“When I explained that no, I wouldn’t be able to take the COVID shot, then the comment was, well your journey ends here, because we require all of our donors and recipients to have the COVID-19 vaccine,” Fougner said. (read more)
If it were me needing that transplant and the donor a compatible match, I’d try to figure out a way to immigrate to Mexico and arrange for surgery there. I would NOT allow a bureaucrat to determine whether I live or die.
Unfortunately organ transplant in Mexico would likely be a death sentence itself.
Not so. Don’t be ignorant. They have expert medical if you get away from the border cities. My friend had hernia surgery at less than half the cost and a vacation like recovery room.
I agree. I have had a few experiences in Mexico with many doctors. I recieved better care than anywhere in America. PM me for more information.
Hola. You should enlighten yourself about medical procedures in Mexico. I live in Merida ,Mexico. The doctors here are educated in America and Europe. I had a eye cornea removed because of a rare desease. List my sight but they saved my eye. Getting a cornea transplant as soon as they find a cornea that matches my other eye. Approximately $ 4000 dollars. 12000 in America.
No, the death sentence is waiting for an American hospital. You probably don’t know that hundreds if not thousands of Americans cross the border every month for health care in Mexico. I have a friend who drives from central california to a little town just south of the border every 6 months to see his doctor AND dentist. Health care in Mexico is just as High tech as health care here, and far cheaper. Many of their health care professionals get their medical degrees here in the states than go back to Mexico for employment. It may be even better care because in Mexico doctors don’t need to wait for govt. approval for many procedures they do there, unlike here in AMERIKA.
There are other states, such as FL, who do not require vaccination for many things and would likely be open to doing the surgery. This was likely the federal govt coming down on physicians and hospitals to do their bidding. How devastating, for a hospital, to fail a govt imposed inspection by someone from the government. Dealing with govt mafia.
What Biden is doing is illegal anyway. He does NOT have Constitutional authority to allow hospitals refuse this type of surgery to both the patient as well as the donor because they have NOT gotten these so called vaccines.. Governors, Mayors, City Officials do NOT have the authority to refuse surgery or other actions, because a patient is NOT vaccinated with these so called vaccines. They are all still for emergency use only, and they are hiding just how many patients have died as a result. These Vaccines are dangerous, and thousands of people have died. The number of deaths are also being hidden. These so called vaccines, are still emergency use only, yet they are being forced on the citizens. Be careful and be safe. I would NOT take one of these shots for any amount of money. However, individuals, must make their own choice.
Simple answer? Wean off of federal funding.
See my original comments under Redblooded. From experience, I would bet the farm, FJB, FAF, et al, would get your kidney if it matched theirs & they were on dialysis! And you, unaware of your perfect match, would suddenly be a donor!
Unconscionable action on part of this hospital &
god -complex afflicted staff!
Half the price too!
A Tourist Visa is all they need. Good for 6 months. Fly from Colorado to San Diego, California. Fly out of Tijuana to Merida, Yucatan Mexico. I fly to California often. Very easy.
Even a doctors sacred oath doesn’t mean anything as long as they fall in line.
U. of Colorado Health…. what a misnomer!!!
Doctors are often only interested in the money.
And many of them are not even that smart.
Well, if you consider keeping license in it only for the money.
When they stop being a private practice type doctor their oath is to the hospital or medical group that pays them and no longer their patient.
You folks just don’t understand yet. We are at war. There are those who believe the BS the elites put out or they are owned by the elites so they have chosen. The only question left is which side will you choose (and everyone will have to choose) the side of freedom and no fear or the side for slavery and misery. Biden and those who control him are busy destroying our freedom. At some point liberals who have not become Fascists will come to our side and then let the games begin.
Please call them bastards and stop with this elite usage
With FJB’s poll numbers, it seems that it has already happened.
Clear Nuremberg violation.
Also there are clear technical pathways, either exclusion by time or chemically.
Close it down, forfiet the hospital assets.
When all levels of government & military are woke & corrupt. Who will prosecute? Elite’s have us marked for destruction & replacements on the way. Much like Tarters, Prussia, Russia, Germany etc… It’s a centuries old playbook!
The courts are politicized and corrupt. Good luck prevailing in court.
Where are our Congressman, at every level?!
Busy attending birthday parties, weddings, wine tasting gatherings…. they do not really have ‘jobs’ thst require more than TV time… as Sundance has pointed out… they do not write the proposed legislations. I suspect few likely don’t even read those that are presented to them
Good question. Not doing much that matters, that’s for sure.
Just heard on the radio news, Jared Polis Gov. Soros, “there have been zero adverse reactions to the you know what in Colorado. So of course we must all get the you know what or else.
Bald faced lie, a young woman dropped dead immediately after the shot in an Urgent Care I went to for clearance to go back to work following the virus. My doctor told me what happened, he also said young women should not get the J&J vaccine due to blood clots.
Went to lunch at a friend’s house yesterday. She had a few women over, all who were the approximate size of her sister who had literally fallen over dead 4 days after getting the poison jab.
She wanted her sisters clothes to go to friends. . . it is one of her ways of dealing with an abrupt death.
Raven ,
Very Sad and I’m Sorry for Your Friend and You .
The hidden comorbidity… blood type. If you are anything but O, you are at higher risk of death.
Red – kudos to you for using the proper word – bald-faced not bold-faced.
Interesting that now it has become “vaccination SERIES”…. so you get “the shot”, which makes you ‘safe’ from covid, then shots njumbered 2, 3,4,5, etc., etc., are introduced… accordingly this woman will be on the ‘waiting list’ until no more shots are ‘mandated’… but…but.. what of the new ‘variants’?
God, I hope the patient lives and the hospital gets their ass sued to bankruptcy. That’s what they deserve. Someone else will step in and cover medical needs. This management team – and many others – need to be destroyed.
Believe it or not, the hospital has no choice unless their governor is willing to give them cover. Feds will remove both Medicare/Medicaid funding and licenses! The only real answer is to wean hospitals off of federal funding.
I also had a surgery cancelled because I refused the covid swab test.
Have two friends who recently had surgery.
Both said they did not have the jab.
Both refused to have the swab stuck up their nose.
But both said they’d spit in a cup so the test could be performed using their saliva, which I guess is something “they” can do.
Check it out and see if the evil sick and demented “care center” will let you spit
on themin a cup for your “test.”https://people.com/health/fda-approves-rutgers-university-coronavirus-saliva-test/
he Food and Drug Administration has approved a new type of test to identify cases of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, that uses saliva samples.
To take the new test, developed by Rutgers University, people produce a testable sample by spitting into a cup. It’s seen as a safer alternative to the current tests, which require medical personnel to take nose and throat swabs from patients, potentially exposing themselves to the virus.
I feel very badly for both those people. It is appalling that this hospital is doing this. For power, nothing more. If they can I hope they go to another hospital.
Insane.
I have to go in for a minor procedure. I certainly hope a shot is not required. If it is, I’m out. If I wake up and find out I was given a shot, a whole lot of somebodys who were involved in my procedure will all end up kissing the donkey.
Wait until they try and force VA patients to get the Jab….
The norm for most surgeries is to NOT introduce something new into your body especially a new organ. They want the money from the operation and then the money from your new needed drugs or ventilator.
They want the recipient to die and save the donor’s kidney for Soros or Klaus. The elites will definitely want the unvaxxed kidney.
Plus this jab is especially bad on kidneys.
About 10, 12mg ivermectin tabs will cover prophylaxis for a 170 lb person @ .2 mg/kg bid (per FLCCC) for a month. 1,000, 12 mg pills can be had from India for less than 300 USD. That’s 100 people, more than enough to cover the patient and donor (to protect them from the super spreaders on the hospital staff), unvaccinated immediate family members (same), the kidney transplant team and miscellaneous hospital staff (to protect them from each other), with plenty to spare. IMHO during that month everyone taking ivermectin would be at considerably less risk from Covid than with the jab… and dewormed. And yet they will let this sick person die. These people are criminally insane…and wormy.
Just ordered 1000 12mg tabs from India (and 250 Zpacks). Offering, free of charge to all my employees. Seems like a good return to me! Of course, I live in sane Florida….
Anschutz Medical Center?
More like Anschluss Medical Center!
Paging Dr. Mengele!
That’s spelled F-A-U-C-I!!
Go to another state and have the transplant. I would suggest Montana which, I believe, is the only state in the union to ban vaccine mandates across the board!
Why do I suspect they will still be happy to accept (and make big money) your unvaxxed organs if you have “organ donor” listed on your driver’s license?
Ghoulish
The ethics of liberal dipshit medical establishment in full display.. if you don’t kneel to Zod, we will make sure you die..
That’s murder! It cannot be justified.
They can get the vaccine or go die somewhere. Just wait until we are denied food if were unvaccinated. Its coming right after were tattooed on our forehead. Not sure if its going to be simply ‘unvaccinated’ or ‘domestic terrorist’. Sort of like the terrorists that are giving school administrators a hard time over CRT.
This is a lawyer ripe issue.
If you apply good ol’ science to this… so far as being a potential organ transplant patient… the argument to NOT GET vaccinated is heavily laden with hard science reasons why the patient should not get vaccinated. Any “medical” argument for being vaccinated holds no ground, because there’s no reason that can remotely approach the fact basis medically for NOT vaccinating.
They can lie, and fabricate BS facts… but they would be fraudulent
The fact that this may go unchallenged tells you how tilted reality now is. In anything like a honest court, this case would be a slam dunk, and the hospital, as a target for a lawsuit by the patient, would have massive liability and exposure here.
This case, which should be no other thing than medicine based, is nothing but politics. Criminal behavior IMO
The left murder human beings for non-compliance.
I know a lot of medical folks could break free today, from the oppressor’s , keep them from doing their job to heal people.
Time to bypass this crooked evil system. It is happening in small doses already, but it is expensive
Start by making up groups that pay into their own insurance system and buy meds directly from the manufacture. There are Doctors in NC today that would take care of this kidney transplant.
Post the problem, address the problem, post that, and then post the solution, so the news gets to those who need it.
Very sad to see American healthcare failing to offer real healthcare to All citizens. I have lost all faith in the American healthcare systematic scam. PM me for information to get the kidney transplant done in Mexico. I am not a doctor. Just a person who cares.
I had my vaccine in April/May and almost immediately I started to lose my hair – my dermatologist said that is a side effect of the vaccine. Then in early September I was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus (early, early stage so outcome good). When I was speaking with the cancer surgeon I mentioned my hair loss and he indicated that it was a result of my immunity system really kicking in after the vaccine – which is what they want to see – fortunately it only turned on my hair. Other outcomes is that people are getting NO immune kickstart (and being fully vaccinated but with covid because their immune system didn’t respond) OR their immune system went into overdrive attacking more vital organs than just hair follicles. So the lesson – if the vaccine kicks in and puts your immune system into overdrive, you probably will not get any variant of covid. BUT if it kicks in and starts to attack vital organs (let’s say a donated kidney) it could be more serious.
Not sure your conclusion is correct. Hcq stops your immune system from over drive response so your lungs don’t fill up?
So glad you caught it in time! My hair falls out in extreme stress. It was already bc of fear of vax for my daughter then I added from high covid fever. Strangely, it comes in curly. Happened to my dad in ww2 when he was wounded. Take good care.
Frankly, no one knows how any of the ccovid vaccines work – it is all guesswork.
Man, this government is so bad we need some really strong leader to take over. Maybe communism is a better choice? Sarc
But you get the point.
We are in the contemplation stage, where you think about how to defend or attack.
They are in the implementation stages where all they do is pull the trigger and remove as much as possible before someone shoots back.
Hola from the Yucatan. Here is a link to various places to get transplants done successfully. Best of luck.

Guess it’s not too surprising. These transplant programs are huge money makers. It’s all about positive statistics. Clearly, the hospital decided to gain financially by giving out so many doses of this vaccine. They also know they can change the rules daily if they want. These patients are dying without this lifesaving transplant. They’re easy change. It’s a damn shame it isn’t about giving the best care possible to help these critically ill people a chance at a life. Far, far from it. It’s nothing but a money making mill.
That is absolutely insane and inhumane!!!!Can’t believe that UCH is doing this as I thought they were a good organization but m.now I have my doubts about even having anything to do with them
What happens if brought to ER for car accident?
As former Head Nurse of the largest hemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis unit in the USA, I find your response to this patient reprehensible.
I started in the field when Patient Selection Committees were necessary,& I don’t know of a single professional making these choices who did not feel humbled, & troubled by the task before them.
We had HAA POS (Hep B) patients & many staff contracted it due to needle sticks, often during codes. There was no vaccine, & we were placed on hyper immune globulin studies at UCLA, which usually attenuated the virus.
I remember the first patient I dialyzed before his transplant; he was HAA POS.
May God have mercy on your soul & the souls of all the heartless individuals who, like you, think they are God.
TRANSPLANT KIDNEYS !
DON’T BURY THEM!
IF THIS UNSCIENTIFICALLY SOUND VAX SCARES YOU SO MUCH, FIND ANOTHER JOB. PATIENTS DESERVE MORE CARE THAN YOU & YOUR LIKE CAN PROVIDE.
