He says no one should be forced to get the vaccine – even if it means he can’t get his much-needed kidney transplant.
BURKE COUNTY, N.C. - A North Carolina man in need of a lifesaving kidney transplant says he will not get the COVID-19 vaccine, despite a hospital refusing to do the transplant without it.
“Without [a transplant], there’s no telling how much longer I’ll still be here. I have to have a kidney to prolong my life,” Carswell said. But when Carswell went for scans and tests at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he learned he and anyone who wanted to donate would be required to be fully vaccinated before the surgery.
Carswell says he’s had COVID-19 twice and doesn’t believe he needs the vaccine. He also says getting the vaccine is a choice and no one should be forced to get one – even if it means he can’t get his much-needed transplant.
