@ProPublica My wife had a transplanted kidney and pancreas for 29 years. She has on Gengraf for decades but was switched to tacrolimus after 27 years. Her kidney failed, but it could have been something else. Covid elixirs prescribed during the pandemic, a virus, or it was just time. I wish I still had a tacrolimus bottle to see the source.
