The publication notes that “Samuelson was born with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and diagnosed at two months old with end-stage kidney failure. Samuelson’s father was the first to give her a kidney, but her body rejected it; it was the kidney from her mother that took, ultimately lasting her 18 years.”

It’s been also revealed that three and a half years ago, Samuelson’s body began rejecting that kidney.”

Samuelson has been on dialysis three times a week since then.

“Though she is considered high-risk for covid, Samuelson decided not to get the vaccine based on the advice of three of her nurses and her own medical concerns.”

The article also mentioned the fact that the health officials are recommending third and even fourth shots to boost Covid-19 resistance for people with certain conditions, but that hasn’t eased the fears of some immunocompromised people.
