The UVM Medical Center is looking for living kidney donors.
According to a WCAX report, the hospital is facing tough competition with large Northeastern hospitals for the small supply of cadaver kidneys.
People who donate one kidney can continue to live healthy lives with their remaining kidney.
At present, about 30% of UVMMC kidney transplants come from living donors. “Our living donors are increasing, but we have a population that probably will be very eager to donate more. And we need many more living donors in our area,” said Dr. Jaime Pineda of UVMMC.
“It’s thoroughly and strictly investigated, examined for them to be approved. And then similarly the recipient goes through a thorough process. So both of them and then it’s an elective surgery on an elective day. Time-wise, day-wise this is both good for the patients but also for the team,” Dr. Marios Prikis of University of Vermont Medical Center told WCAX.
A page on the UVMMC website explains the details of live kidney donation.

Is the need for kidneys related to the increase in acute kidney disease after covid “vaccination”?
As stated in one retrospective study (link below) the answer is yes:
“Prior to vast COVID-19 vaccination, glomerular diseases and AKD have been reported to be temporally associated with the immunization of vaccines such as influenza, pneumococcal, and hepatitis B (23). Similarly, AKD following COVID-19 vaccination might share similar immune-mediated mechanisms to the previously reported infection, triggering subclinical disorders and manifesting them into obvious clinical diseases (24, 25). The possible mechanisms include molecular mimicry, cross-reactivity to antigens or adjuvants, and the production of certain autoantibodies (26, 27).”

Actually, Cathy I believe it is from prescribing Paxlovid the sanctioned treatment for wuhan virus. Fauci’s failed HIV drug that causes Kidney destruction.

I will sell mine for $12,000,000
Enough of the smartaleck comments, this is a serious matter. I donated one of my kidneys nine years ago to someone that was way down the list for available kidneys. The odds of a successful outcome increase dramatically from a live donor as compared to a cadaver kidney. The only way it has affected my life is that I have the comfort of knowing that I saved someone’s life. I still believe that is the most important thing I have ever done
Thank you, Lawrence, for donating a kidney to someone that needed one! My own sister, Diane, benefited from such a generous donation. She lived another 8 years, watching her children grow to be teens. She was publisher Guy Page’s wife at the time, as well. It’s hard to express how much 8 more years mattered to Diane and her family…
Thank you Linda. Well said. Diane was the first ‘stranger donor’ kidney recipient in the Northeast back in 1999. She lived until 2011 – plenty long for the kids to have years of memories of her.
Considering UVMMC (Rockefeller medicine, active members of WEF/WHO, and recipients of large cash COVID-19 incentives) now find trust in their healthcare not as enthusiastic anymore. I am sure it is hard to find volunteers and participants when you maimed and killed a great number of them with your “healthcare.”
