This is not newsworthy as the medical community has always prioritized potential organ recipients by behavioral risk. Heavy drinkers are at the bottom of the list for a liver transplant and smokers are highly unlikely to receive a lung transplant. Refusing to be vaccinated in a deadly pandemic is a behavior that often results in death, plus the requirement to take immunosuppressants would seem to be factors in the decision.
