Supreme Court of Canada won't hear unvaccinated woman's case for organ donation

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear the appeal of Annette Lewis, an Alberta woman who refused to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as a precondition for receiving a life-saving organ transplant.
Lewis argued that the vaccine requirement violated her Charter rights, but the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed the case and ruled that standard of care must be the same for all potential recipients.
Lewis has filed a separate legal action against Alberta Health Services, a hospital, and transplant doctors, alleging negligence in their decision to remove her from the high-priority transplant list.
