Appearing on "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday morning to discuss the dire medical dilemma their family is facing, the parents of a teenage girl who is not vaccinated against COVID-19 revealed that their daughter has been unable to move forward with the kidney transplant she needs at Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina.
Chrissy Hicks, the mom of 14-year-old Yulia Hicks, recounted her exchange about the issue with a medical official.
"I said, 'So basically you're telling us if she does not get the vaccine, then she's not getting a transplant,'" Chrissy Hicks said. "And [the medical employee] said, ‘Yes, that is the one thing that is holding us up.’"
Chrissy and Lee Hicks of North Carolina adopted their daughter Yulia from Ukraine nearly two years ago.
The couple has eight biological children and three who are adopted, the program noted.
The girl suffers from a rare degenerative kidney condition known as Senior Loken Syndrome, which requires a transplant, according to reports.
Though she is not vaccinated against COVID, she has had the coronavirus — so the parents believe she's protected by natural immunities.
Dad Lee Hicks said on Saturday morning, "We've been up front the entire time we've been seen at Duke, for the last two years, that we were not comfortable with the vaccine — with the COVID-19 vaccine. And so they knew all along that we were not comfortable with this."
The dad added, "And it wasn't a requirement. It was … a recommendation, according to [the doctors] at first — until the very end."
A problem that already has become so severe in America’s health care industry that a physicians’ group has launched a campaign demanding that Congress intervene has flared again.
This time it is affecting the life of a 14-year-old girl who needs a lifesaving kidney transplant – but has been refused medical care by Duke University Hospital because she is unvaccinated.
WND reported earlier that situation had developed so often that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons created an online process to allow Americans to email their members of Congress.
The AAPS is demanding that transplant centers be legally prohibited from “treating an individual as ineligible to donate or receive an organ” or assign “a lower priority to an individual waiting to receive an organ” if that individual has declined to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., said his proposal to do just that is in response to “several reports from across the United States of individuals being removed from the organ transplant list or moved to ‘inactive’ status as a result of being unvaccinated.

It has nothing to do with logic ,unfortunately. All about control and NWO agenda.

I guess it just comes down to how bad she wants the kidney transplant.

But if she gets the shot she gets the transplant, right? She needs to pick the least of the two evils if she wants to live.

The parents were, however, told on November 11 that she was not eligible for Duke's waiting list because she was not vaccinated against Covid. "There's no sympathy whatsoever from any of them," said Chrissy Hicks, according to Daily Mail. "It's just strong-arming us: give her the vaccine, and you'll get the transplant." She said they had contacted a lawyer, but "can't have her life hanging in the balance with litigation" and were seeking a transplant at another hospital.

I can only add context to this by relating what I know from a coworker who had a kidney transplant. You must get all available vaccines, from the standard you should have had as a child, to the flu,pneumonia, shingles, etc. Depending what's replaced you may have to agree to a lifetime change in diet, and or lifestyle such as no alcohol, etc. You have to prove and agree to both take and be able to afford what may be a lifetime of prescription meds. You have to agree to all necessary doctor visits etc. You have to agree to any required restrictions before the surgery.
This is, and has been standard practice.

No thats not standard practice. To start with its not a vax its gene therapy. Never been used before. Experimental.
An experimental drug is not standard practice..
