X/Twitter is up in arms because Cincinnati Children’s Hospital won’t give JD Vance’s 12 year old relative a heart transplant because they aren’t vaccinated for COVID. That child is going to die b/c their parents are idiots.

This made my brain feel like it was clicking. Up in arms, Click, JD Vance click, 12 year old click. I feel broken. None of these thoughts should go together and it’s where we are all at right now. That poor child.
My trumper cousin posted about her friend with the same issue with Children's hospital and her child meeting a heart transplant too. They're all antivaxers. My cousin has two medically fragile children, herself. It's child abuse. Period. How they can be cool watching their children die is beyond me
As the child of reformed anti-vaxxers I’ll say that this literally feels like a pathway for religious right to be exempt from vaccines or any other basic medical treatment… and turn to using other people as essentially organ farms. It’s sickening.
I just just got here, but I think I'm with the idiots on this one. 🤷Not being up to date on vaccines doesn't seem like a good reason to deny a heart transplant.
It's bullshit. They're willing to put their child through an hours-long surgery with all those meds and anesthesia, antibiotics and imunosuppressors after, not to mention a whole-ass organ from another body, but they feel in their heart vaccines are not ok. Hypocrites.
My mother in law went into liver failure due to a medication reaction. The docs did not think she was strong enough to be a candidate for a transplant - so she died. Heartbreaking, but these organs are precious. Awful, necessary decisions are made every day. You can’t have your way about everything.
Thanks. It definitely sucked, but you’ve got to trust the judgment of these doctors and understand that only one person can get this organ. The fundamental immaturity and selfishness of some of these people is apparently boundless.
You're welcome.💗 And totally. The Dr.s wouldn't let her get the vaccine if it was dangerous for her condition. Myocarditis and anaphylaxis is treatable so they have zero excuses. It's like they're trying to make her a martyr. A sacrifice to the Right Wing news cycle. SMFH. Just sick.
I read about this yesterday. The parents have 12 kids and none of them are vaccinated. When they adopted this child, they knew she would need medical care. Their reason for none of the children being vaccinated? Waiting the Holy Spirit to tell them. But I didn't realize there was connection to Vance
They should be charged with all manner of child abuse, including eventually murder. They knew that she had a life-threatening condition the treatment of which would require vaccines, and they adopted her anyway.
Agreed. And what happens if Vance steps in and tries to force the hospital to allow her to get the transplant? I imagine other families who obeyed the rules could sue the hospital for any number of reasons. That poor, poor girl.
This kind of people are predatory - stealing children of colour from families who actually do want them, dragging them over to a foreign country with a foreign language and culture, and often abusing them, turning them into forced labour, etc. I am so sick of it.
we are sold to the highest bidder not to the most suitable home, gutted to see the fate of another adoptee go this way but adoption as a pathway to creating a loving family is a fallacy and stories like this prove that point, they are not the outliers people like to imagine them as
Also a sinister sidenote as to why they want to eliminate abortion and increase birth rates in unwanted pregnancies. The religion excuse is a helpful veil to conceal the truth.
And they should be! I totally agree! Human organs need to be used wisely and go to the person most likely to be able to live with it. Thanks for saying this
They're correct, of course, but I think that in the end, they'll cave. DOGE will crater their federal funding and all that, and they'll quietly make an exception.
Wild to be ok with the invasive surgery and myriad of medicines that will accompany it while being dumb about a vaccine. Would she want her child at risk for Covid after a heart transplant??

CPS can & should take her into state custody and vax.
Absolutely not sorry for distributing to those who will care for them.
Sincerely, the brother of a heart recipient.
That was a choice.
These are fugly people.
They're being tested!
