People get rejected for reasons like this all the time tbh. Organs are limited in supply and ultimately you have to make a decision of who is "worthy" enough to get them - and that is those who will actually make best use of them and not die soon anyway. --- Let's make biscuits! ...

This is literally how it has always been. Organ transplants necessitate taking immunosuppressants. Refusing vaccination puts your organ at high risk of being "lost".

I saw this story on a friends facebook and an anti-vaxers response was something like "it's even more dangerous to give that heart to a vaccinated person because the vaccine causes blood clots". Even though covid itself has a much higher chance to cause blood clots. But anyway, fair, next.
