The Epoch Times reported on April 23 the appalling case of a 41-year-old Georgia woman who has been rejected a kidney transplant, even though she is on dialysis and potentially facing death. The seriousness of her condition necessitates her undergoing dialysis three times per week to keep her life.

The reason for such a rejection? The woman, who has already had COVID-19, refuses to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on religious and medical grounds.

Regardless of her acquired natural immunity, Doe, a mother of seven young children, has not obtained an exemption from the COVID-19 vaccinations, although serious issues associated with vaccinating someone with mRNA inoculation was one of the primary bases of her medical objections.

Similarly, here in Australia another mother has been denied the opportunity to receive a lifesaving organ transplant.

Vicki Derdarian, a mother of three, suffered from heart failure in 2020 and is now in desperate need of a lifesaving heart transplant. And yet, she has been turned away by Alfred Hospital in Melbourne because of vaccine mandates that are still enforced by the government of Victoria.

Believe it or not, the Australian mother actually has a permanent vaccine exemption provided by the Australian Technical Advisory Group (ATAGI), which the hospital is choosing to deny.

“We’re being pushed in the corner and coerced to take something that goes against what we believe in or not receive lifesaving treatment,” she says.

Derdarian is concerned that her medical condition makes her unsuitable to receive such a vaccination.

Dr Peter McCullough, one of the world’s most renowned cardiologists, agrees with her that “under no circumstances” should any heart transplant patient receive a COVID-19 vaccine because of the damage it can do to the heart.
“If Vicky’s heart sustains any more damage, it is almost certainly going to be lethal,” he says.

Questions Surrounding COVID Vaccines Are No Secret Anymore

There is now enough evidence to show that the vaccinated can still catch and transmit the virus, and once infected, they are as likely to infect others as those who are unvaccinated.

This is not necessarily an unexpected outcome because while conventional vaccines may take about 10 years to be available in the market, these vaccines were rushed through clinical trial testing in less than a year.

Not only do these experimental vaccines not stop transmission, but also the protection provided against COVID-19 at best is considerably limited.

Therefore, according to Jayanta Bhattcharya, a professor of medicine, economics and health research and policy at Stanford University, from a medical perspective, all the necessary conditions for vaccine mandates are simply “not present.”

“If a vaccine fails to stop disease transmission, the idea that you need to vaccinate other people so that I’m protected is just false,” he says.

To make it worse, scientists have now discovered that mRNA vaccines, not COVID-19 infection itself, may cause brain and heart damage.

A study published in October 2022 in the journal Vaccines reports the results of the autopsy of a vaccinated person who had no history of a COVID-19 infection.

The article provides compelling evidence that the patient’s death was caused by the experimental vaccine. Although this patient was never infected, in the heart, “signs of chronic cardiomyopathy as well as mild acute lympho-histiocytic myocarditis and vasculitis were present.”

Over the last two years, there has been a sudden and unexplained surge of age-inappropriate deaths in at least 30 countries across the industrialized world, including Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

In his book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths,” Ed Dowd hypothesizes that “the sudden deaths in young people in industrialized countries are due to mRNA vaccines.”

Relevantly, Dowd argues that “the number of excess deaths in America attributed to COVID-19 in 2020 was actually much lower than the huge spike in sudden deaths that began in 2021 after the COVID-19 vaccines started being widely distributed.”

Take, for instance, the example of my country Australia. By the end of 2021, Australia reached an impressive vaccination rate of 80 percent of the population.

Last year, however, more than 174,000 deaths were registered, which is 20,000 more than projections estimated. This represents the highest number of excess deaths on record since the end of World War II.

These excess deaths are apparently related to the increase in cancer and heart conditions, including heart failure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and heart disease.

Given that these known health issues are seemingly caused by the mRNA vaccines, the decision to force those in need to undergo lifesaving organ transplants to receive such experimental vaccination is scientifically wrong and deeply immoral.

Let These Patients Get the Treatment They Need

Dr Young Dong, who has more than 20 years of experience in virological and immunological research, is fully convinced that, at the general population level, the risks of imposing vaccine mandates substantially exceed the benefits.

In this sense, Dr Kenji Yamamoto, a cardiovascular surgeon who works at Okamura Memorial Hospital in Shizuoka, Japan, has recently called for the entire discontinuation of COVID booster shots.

In a letter to the peer-reviewed journal Virology, he explains that he and his colleagues have “encountered cases of infections that are difficult to control,” including some that occurred after open-heart surgery and were still not under control after several weeks of treatment with multiple antibiotics.
“As a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued,” Yamamoto wrote.

As can be seen, the denial of medical treatment to these two women in desperate need of lifesaving organ transplants is absolutely outrageous. It is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights.

Indeed, it is entirely unconscionable to deny any person a medical accommodation from an experimental vaccination, especially those who desperately need a lifesaving medical procedure.

Let’s hope that justice ultimately prevails and these women are not forced to receive a vaccination that has quite notorious medical side effects in order to get a desperately needed medical treatment!
