Sudbury, ON, resident Garnet Harper died from kidney disease after he could not receive a transplant because he was unvaccinated.

“I said I’m not going to be participating in this program as long as people like my husband are not eligible to receive organs that are from the Trillium Network,” said Harper’s wife, Meghan, in an interview on Independent Journalism.

“And I said, ‘are you aware that unvaccinated people are not eligible to receive transplants in Ontario, and that’s a large part of why my husband is lying in this bed right now.’”
