Chad Carswell: NC man denied life-saving kidney transplant over vaccination status – WTVD-TV

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A North Carolina man who desperately needs a kidney transplant said he has been denied an operation because of his vaccination status. But he said he is not changing his mind, and he said he is willing to die over his beliefs. Right now, Chad Carswell's kidney is only operating at about 4%.

And so do any potential donors. The hospital said that is its policy. But Carswell said he shouldn't be forced to get a shot.

Wary Parents Are Target of New Appeals to Vaccinate Children 5-11 – The New York Times

For weeks, the school principal had been imploring Kemika Cosey: Would she please allow her children, 7 and 11, to get Covid shots? Ms. Cosey remained firm. A hard no. But Mr. Kip — Brigham Kiplinger, the principal of Garrison Elementary School in Washington, D.C. — swatted away the “no’s.” Ever since the federal government authorized the coronavirus vaccine for children 5 through 11 nearly three months ago, Mr. Kip has been calling the school’s parents, texting, nagging, cajoling daily. Acting as a vaccine advocate — a job usually handled by medical professionals and public health officials — has become central to his role as an educator. “The vaccine is the most important thing happening this year to keep kids in school,” Mr. Kiplinger said. Largely through Mr. Kiplinger’s skill as a p...
