Colorado Republican State Rep. Tim Geitner went viral after posting a letter to social media from a hospital to a Colorado Spring woman denying a kidney transplant because she refused to get the COVID jab.
The letter from the University of Colorado Hospital states that the woman would be put back on the kidney transplant list once she is vaccinated.
“Leilani Lutali has a willing donor, but both she and her potential donor are being taken off the list because they are both unvaccinated.
Lutali has stage five kidney disease and is in desperate need of a transplant. She claims she has already had COVID, but won't be getting vaccinated for religious reasons.
"I was the one that had to break the news to Leilani and we were just devastated that somebody could take her life away from her because of a vaccine," potential donor Jaimee Fougner told KRDO.
Fougner and Lutali met at a bible study in January. They immediately hit it off, with Fougner planning on saving Lutali's life with a kidney donation. But then, they got a letter in the mail from UCHealth on Sept. 28 telling them they were going to be taken off the list.
"It feels a little bit like my transplant is being held hostage and there's only one decision that I'm being left with," Lutali shared. "And there are other options that we could do, but there's just been a hard-line drawn."
Both Lutali and Fougner are passing on the shot because they don't approve of the way they believe the vaccines were developed.”
State Rep. Geitner called the transplant denial “incredibly frustrating, incredibly sad, incredibly disgusting.”
Remember when the left used to tells us that “health care is a right” those same people are now cheering this on.
