‘If they want a transplant, they better voluntary make the decision I want them to take!

And if they don’t, well that’s more input to my ‘Laugh at people who died because they didn’t take the vaccine’ Facebook group!’

‘Look at me, feeling holy saving lives through science! I know better than you!’

They aren't being bumped from the list out of spite, its for statistically better outcomes.

Medical science trumps stupid beliefs whether you are Steve Jobs or some idiot feeding off facebook.

Science is not ‘we decide based on who trusts science’.

No, its knowing about statistics and chances of catching something and dying because you are on immune system supressing drugs.

As per the article "Organ recipients are already generally required to be vaccinated against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, and tetanus"

If they are too fucking stupid to take a simple injection to save their life then so be it. There is no rationale for them not to take it.

That’s science. This is not:

> If they trust science enough to get a transplant they can trust science enough to get vaccinated

Also, it doesn’t make you seem smarter if you call people who disagree with your position ‘fucking stupid’.

I'm not saying that to sound smarter, I'm stating a fact - in their scenario the chance of them dying is millions of times greater if they refuse the vaccine.

No, you’re not. You’re just insulting people.
