Boston hospital refuses heart transplant to unvaccinated man

Doctor Arthur Caplan joins the hospital. The doctor is chief of medical ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He told CBS News that with every organ transplant, a patient’s immune system is nearly deactivated and even a cold can be fatal.

“Organs are scarce. We’re not going to hand them out to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who have been vaccinated, after surgery, have a better chance of survival,” Dr. Caplan said.
