A North Carolina double-amputee in need of a kidney transplant vowed that he would rather die than submit to the government tyranny of vaccine requirements even though it’s not a government policy to require transplant patients to have the coronavirus vaccine, WSOC ABC-9 in Charlotte reports.
Chad Carswell gets dialysis three times each week because his kidneys are only operating at 4% efficiency. Carswell has other pre-existing health conditions–including having gone through multiple major heart surgeries–but when told he would need to get a vaccine to get a transplant at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, Carswell said he would just die instead.
“No sir, I was born free. I will die free. I’m not changing my mind,” Carswell said. “I’ve had conversations with my family and everybody who is close to me and they know where I stand and there will not be a situation that occurs where I’ll change my mind on this topic.”
