Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

I don't understand what you were trying to say.

It's not your job to know.

It's the transplant board's decision and they track the various facts in order to determine when one of these precious beating hearts become available where it goes so that it isn't wasted on someone too stupid to take medical advice.

Do you understand when you refuse to take medical advice how difficult it is for a bunch of doctors to overlook your ignorance and arrogance and put your principles aside in order to deny some other suffering person a heart?

You asked me what concerns I would have for the son in law and then imagined how I would feel, so I may have read that wrong, as you were putting me in the place of the relative who missed out on the transplant.

But for me, if all things were equal, my decision wouldn't be based on a vaccine that wouldn't work as efficiently as in someone healthy and ineffective against Omicron without booster. Regardless of their vaccine status, they will more than likely be in the upper right hand quadrant for severe symptoms and death and will be recommended to do everything possible to avoid COVID because in his condition, there is only hope that the vaccine will do what it needs to, but with his current state of health, future health state, and Omicron running lose, good luck with that.

But let's say that he takes the shot, get's COVID and still die, then what? Or what if he get's the vaccine and dies from adverse effects? He died doing "the right thing?"
