4. Health care IS a human right
Tue Jan 25, 2022, 05:31 PM

but you have to do your part. It would be a wasted heart as his immune system would be so compromised it would be almost impossible for him not to get Covid and reject it. Still, even without that each and every one of us has our own responsibilities for our health. Easy, a shot. Even 2 or 2 and a booster. Lots of surgeries and treatments depend on the patient to make themselves ready. Without that, no treatment. It has been this way for a very long time. Hearts are not sitting around in baskets waiting for patients. Patients who take care of themselves and follow the criteria are waiting.
