Sheila Annette Lewis had an incurable disease. She was refused a transplant because she refused to get the COVID vaccine

    She probably should’ve gotten the vaccine, huh?

      And suffer the potential consequences like a mild headache and a sore arm for some days? Never!

        What a dumnass. In her Pyrrhic victory not to be made into a 5g zombie (or whatever nonsense she might have believed) she stood her ground and died like an idiot. She gets no tears from me.

        I’ve had…4 different vaccines.

        A-Z sore arm for a day and a splitting headache for two days. ASA resolved it.

        M sore arm for three days and a mild headache. ASA resolved it.

        P x 2 no appreciable sore arm and no headache.

        PBiV - no appreciable sore arm and no headache.

          Tfw you call Aspirin ASA.

            @LichbaneLB @MapleEngineer

            ASA stands for acetylsalicylic acid, shortened to aspirin.

        Don’t forget being banned from eating in restaurants where the owners put up “we don’t call 911” signs and Salad isn’t on the menu.

          That sounds like a win to me.

      It isn’t the choice that I would have made but it was her choice to make.

        And it’s her choice to live die with.

          Yes. Every choice we make has consequences. Some bigger than others.

      It’s probably better for society that she didn’t.

        This is such a paradoxical statement, because if she did get the vaccine willingly, then no one would consider her to be an idiot and thus see no issue with her getting the transplant.

          So what you are saying is if you don’t act like an idiot, nobody would perceive you as an idiot? Yes that is generally how society works.
