A North Carolina man said that a hospital refused to carry out a kidney transplant because he won’t receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and he would rather die than comply with the requirement.

“I was born free. I will die free. I’m not changing my mind,” Chad Carswell told WSOC-TV. “I’ve had conversations with my family and everybody that’s close to me. They know where I stand, and it’ll not be a situation that occurs that I will choose to change my mind on this topic.”
