Girl refused heart transplant because Moo and Duh won't vaccinate her February 13, 2025 |
Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of their own actions! 
Too bad it's their kid that has to suffer and not them, though.
https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2025/02/11/girl-denied-heart-transplant-cincinnati-childrens/78328436007/
A 12-year-old girl in need of a new heart was denied a spot on the transplant list because she is unvaccinated. Seems Mommy and Daddy adopted the girl knowing full well she had heart defects that would result in the need for an eventual transplant.
But they also didn't want her to be pumped full of "poison" because Gawd told their family not to vaccinate. The Cincinnati Children's Hospital stuck to their guns and would not make an exception for this girl. I assume they want her fully vaxed because she will need to be on immunosuppressants for life so her body doesn't reject the new heart. If she is not vaccinated, that means she will be more prone to illness, and due to her suppressed immune system, she will have a higher chance of dying from bugs that might only be inconvenient to a healthy child. If she gets sick and dies, that's a wasted heart that could have gone to a kid whose parents aren't retarded.
So the breeders are calling out the hospital on social media for being mean to them and saying that it's not about saving a child's life, but about adhering to a vaccination agenda. Moo also feels confident that her sick child - one of TWELVE kids - will not have any issues at all with COVID-19 and so she does not need to be vaccinated for it. Orly? Are you a medium? Can you see the future? Apparently mandatory vaccination is "madness" and we should be moving on from it.
I'm curious what will happen now. Will they shop around for an anti-vax-friendly hospital? Will they just let the girl die? Will they sue the hospital to try to force them into making an exception?

An Indiana family says Cincinnati Children's won't put their 12-year-old daughter on its heart transplant waiting list because of her vaccination status.
Janeen Deal, who is related by marriage to Vice President JD Vance's half-siblings, said the hospital requires her daughter to receive COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, which Janeen and her husband are unwilling to do.
The couple adopted Adaline from China when she was 4 years old. Adaline was born with two heart conditions, Janeen said, and they adopted Adaline knowing she would one day need a heart transplant. Janeen said Adaline has been receiving treatment at Cincinnati Children's for almost 10 years, and they hoped she would receive a heart transplant there because they consider it the best hospital in the area.
But earlier this month, Adaline's doctor said she would need to have the two vaccinations to be put on the transplant list, according to Janeen. The couple told the doctor the vaccines conflict with their religious and medical beliefs, the family is nondenominational Christian, but the hospital would not honor a religious exemption.
"I thought, wow. So, it's not about the kid. It's not about saving her life," Janeen told The Enquirer.
Vaccines are recommended for transplant recipients because those patients have a much higher risk for infections.
A Cincinnati Children's spokesperson did not answer The Enquirer's question about whether the hospital withheld Adaline from the transplant list.
Janeen believes the vaccines are unsafe, and also said they came to their decision after "the Holy Spirit put it on our hearts." The couple is now considering taking Adaline to a different transplant center – one that won't require her to be vaccinated. Contributions to the family's Go Fund Me for Adaline's surgery jumped from around $1,500 to over $50,000 this weekend after her story was spread on social media.
"At Cincinnati Children’s, clinical decisions are guided by science, research and best practices," spokesperson Bo McMillan wrote in an email, relaying the hospital's statement. "We tailor care plans to each patient in collaboration with their family to ensure the safest, most effective treatment."
Transplant centers set their own requirements for vaccine requirements, said Andi Johnson, vice president of marketing and community engagement at Network for Hope, an organ procurement organization. Network for Hope works with transplant centers in southwest Ohio, Kentucky and parts of West Virginia and Indiana.
Janeen said Adaline's doctor at Cincinnati Children's said the hospital's vaccine requirement follows guidelines from the National Institutes of Health. There are two other transplant centers in Greater Cincinnati that perform heart transplants: Christ Hospital and UC Health.
Patients are at higher risk for severe illness and death from infection after receiving a transplant, said Dr. Camille Kotton, the clinical director of transplant and immunocompromised host infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital. That's because they need long-term immunosuppressants so they don't reject the new organ, making them more susceptible to infection.
"In the beginning of the pandemic, we had many transplant patients become deathly ill and we actually lost a number of our transplant patients to COVID-19, because they are more likely to have severe outcomes," she said. "The first year after transplant is when they're at highest risk for infection, but they do have a lifelong risk of severe disease and transplant patients are still dying because of COVID-19."
The National Institutes of Health's vaccine recommendations and vaccine schedules depend on the transplant. Other factors besides vaccine status, like lifestyle or lack of social support, can also get patients deprioritized on a transplant waitlist.
Skepticism and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and other vaccines sparked during the pandemic. In December, a Republican-led House subcommittee that investigated COVID-19 said the vaccine failed to stop the spread of the virus and blamed the erosion of public trust in vaccines on the government's handling of the pandemic.
Janeen and her husband have 12 children, including eight who are adopted. She said she's confident Adaline won't have any problems with COVID-19 after her heart transplant.
"We'll take it as we can if it happens," she said. "But I know I cannot put this (vaccine) in her body knowing what we know and how we feel about it."
In response to the Deal family's fight, Ohio Rep. Jennifer Gross is seeking co-sponsors to introduce legislation that would prevent children from being refused medical care due to their vaccination status. Gross, whose district includes parts of Butler County, has shared posts on X criticizing the COVID-19 vaccine.
Janeen is working with Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom, a group that lobbies for Ohioans' rights to choose or refuse medical treatments, to support the bill.
"I'm so hopeful that this bill will save all the other children and adults so they don't have to go through what Adaline's had to go through," she said. "It's 2025. It's time to move on from all this madness. (Getting vaccinated) should be your choice."

Well, maybe the Holy Spirit put denial in the hearts of the transplant committee, did she ever think of that?
Of course not! The Holy Spirit would never do anything other than giving these people their own way because they're just that special.
If we're gonna go this route, why did the Holy Spirit give their child a heart defect in the first place? That's kind of a shitty thing for a benevolent spirit to do. But I already know what these people would say to that: God doesn't give you anything you can't handle!It's like when someone undergoes a 12-hour life-saving surgery - if the person survives, the famblee thanks doG, Jesus, etc. and not the surgeon who just busted their ass keeping the patient alive. But if the person dies, the family doesn't blame Sky Daddy - they blame the doctor and will probably try to sue. Because to Catholics, doG only does good things - it never occurs to them that, if their deity does exist, they can take a life just as easily as they can save one. They don't realize what an asshole their god is. I mean doG comes right out and says his love is conditional - if you don't abide by his rules perfectly, you will burn in hell for eternity because you are not worthy of his love. That sounds like a mentally abusive parent.
