How Pious Ethicists Rationalize Mandated COVID-19 Vaccination on Organ Transplant Candidates
No Consideration of Vaccine Safety, Efficacy, or Impact on Transplant Outcomes
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
We have heard numerous stories of patients desperate for organ transplantation being pitted with mandated COVID-19 vaccination, which could end their life with an immediate complication versus denial of the organ transplant they have worked so hard to receive and so desperately need. The transplant physician community has assumed the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and without question in every case, no matter how tenuous, the risks are outweighed by the benefits. Not in a single manuscript published on the topic have the transplant physicians recognized >15,000 deaths after COVID-19 vaccination in VAERS, most within 96 hours, and >1000 peer-reviewed manuscripts on COVID-19 vaccine injuries, disabilities, and deaths. Transplant physicians appear to be willfully blind to the FDA warnings on myocarditis, neurological injury, thrombosis, and blood disorders all of which are particularly deadly and complicated in patients pre- or post-transplant. Dr. Marc Kuczewski, PhD, from the Neiswanger Institute of Bioethics at Loyola University in Chicago should have sought better expert input on the COVID-19 vaccine literature when he published this “ethical” statement on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination in transplant candidates.[i]
I wonder what Dr. Kuczewski and his coauthors thought when Dr. Alsunaid and coworkers from Montefiore in New York, published this report on three freshly vaccinated lung transplant recipients who developed acute antibody mediated rejection of their transplanted lung(s) resulting in hypoxemic respiratory failure?[ii]
Each transplant rejection episode is a step closer to death. So the questions on the table are: 1) how long will COVID-19 vaccination remain in organ transplant programs? 2) will ISHLT - International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation analyze the loss of life BEFORE and AFTER transplantation attributable to COVID-19 vaccination? 3) will transplant directors ever reverse course and admit vaccination was a mistake? 4) will doctors and pious ethicists who gave no consideration to safety, efficacy, transplant outcomes ever apologize to the community of transplant patients? For an area of medicine caring for the frailest group of patients and utmost concern over post-surgery outcomes, historians will record how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic clouded minds and blinded doctors to the reality of failed vaccines, expected Spike protein damage, and immunologic rejection after transplantation. Clear clinical acumen could have seen these events months if not years ahead of time. Investigational COVID-19 vaccination should have no role transplant medicine. We can all watch how transplant doctors and ethicists crawl out of their dark hole and face tough questions in the future.

Dr. McCullough
Thanks for shining your light on this horrendous practice. Your wording gives me a good sigh of relief to see you are calling these doctors out, even though you are a doctor yourself.
My strongest shame on these organ transplant doctors! After all that these patients and their families have already gone through, and now this!
I am so angry. It's bad enough that people with comorbidities have to deal with these vaccine and control issues, but people who will die without a new organ?
They have waited and waited for their name to rise to the top of that transplant list; some have waited for YEARS.
How dare these doctors take their LIFE away from them. They are murdering them. That's one way to decrease the population. Sorry to say that, but then again, no, I'm not. The proof of the vaccine harm is OVERWHELMING and UBIQUITOUS. We need lots of light on this.
Reports already exist of acute corneal transplant rejection after Covid shots, so we know the shots make transplant outcomes worse (at least for some corneal transplants), not better:

A search for "cornea transplant rejection after vaccination" in DuckDuckGo will reveal more.
Medical murder is happening everywhere. Sadly, most doctors -- NOT Dr. McCullough and other brave truth-tellers, of course -- deny it, are willfully blind to it, are financially and/or ethically compromised, or don't care.
Unfortunately, the answers to your excellent questions are obvious:
1) how long will COVID-19 vaccination remain in organ transplant programs? [Indefinitely]
2) will ISHLT - ... analyze the loss of life BEFORE and AFTER transplantation attributable to COVID-19 vaccination? [NO]
3) will transplant directors ever reverse course and admit vaccination was a mistake? [NO]
4) will doctors and pious ethicists who gave no consideration to safety, efficacy, transplant outcomes ever apologize to the community of transplant patients? [NO]
