This makes me sad and angry.
Hospitals In Germany, UK & Israel Refuse Life-Saving Transplant To 3-Year-Old Because Parents Were Unvaccinated
We have heard of cases where adult patients in the US have been denied a life-saving heart transplant because they hadn’t been vaccinated. But have you ever heard of a child being refused because their parents had been vaccinated?
Well, now we have: Politico EU reports that a 3-year-old Cypriot boy was denied a heart transplant by a hospital in Germany allegedly because his parents weren’t “fully vaccinated”.
And it wasn’t just Germany. The boy was turned away by hospitals in the UK and Israel for the same reason. Finally, a Greek hospital was found to do the transplant, but the story is going viral anyway as the latest example of COVID restrictions run amok.
The Cypriot health ministry had made the arrangements for the boy to be treated in Germany, but it was left scrambling after the hospital advised that it wouldn’t accept the patient because his parents hadn’t been fully vaccinated. Even though the boy’s parents were quickly given their first dose in an effort to save their sons life, they were informed that it didn’t matter, since it would take six weeks for them to become “fully vaccinated”.
But the Cypriots wouldn’t take no for an answer, and asked if the child could be accompanied by a guardian. Still, the answer was “no”.
The European Commission confirmed to Politico that there are no policies in place in the EU that would prevent an child from receiving a life-saving operation for this reason. But then again, local hospitals and jurisdictions can create restrictions and requirements of their own. It appears that is the case here.
“Health policies - including vaccination policies — and their concrete implementation are the responsibility of the member states, not the Commission,” said a spokesperson for the European Commission’s health department.
The boy’s father expressed his bewilderment to Politico.
“I know that unvaccinated patients are admitted to hospitals in Germany,” said the boy’s father, Alexey Matveev, a Russian national living in Cyprus. “I didn’t know that I had to be vaccinated for my child being to be operated on in that hospital. If I knew it of course I would have done it ... I am healthy and did not want to be vaccinated. I find it inappropriate for someone who is healthy to be vaccinated.”
Eventually, treatment was arranged for the boy in Cyprus.

Susan Sarandon blasted over anti-cop post after NYPD funeral
Actress Susan Sarandon has been ripped by law enforcement for “mocking heroes” in an anti-cop Twitter post she shared comparing the officers gathered at slain NYPD Detective Jason Rivera’s funeral to fascists.
The “Thelma & Louise” star posted the image the night before Rivera’s policing partner, Wilbert Mora, was given his own solemn final farewell at his funeral on Wednesday
The image that sparked outrage was a tweet by podcaster Danny Haiphong that showed thousands of NYPD cops flooding Manhattan’s 5th Avenue last week to honor their slain colleague, with the phrase: “I’m gonna tell my kids this is what fascism looks like.”
Sarandon shared an apparent screenshot of the original tweet and additional text that read: “So, if all these cops weren’t needed for CRIME that day, doesn’t that mean they aren’t needed ANY day?”

I saw that Johns Hopkins/Lock down thread, yesterday, and asked...where do those who lost their lives....by suicide, untreated illnesses, etc., go to get their lives/health back? As it was Johns Hopkins who posted the daily death/case fear counts.
😩 😡
My gosh, these morons just keep doubling down on sheer stupidity.

Classified State Department email declared Hunter Biden ‘undercut’ U.S. efforts in Ukraine
Withheld from public for five years, memo conflicts with Democrats’ official narrative that president’s son had no impact on U.S. anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine.
That story reminds me of the show I saw on NHK (Japan station on Roku). How to the Likeable in a Crisis. A corrupt University administration distorting information for the PC media. Very funny show, called a dark satire on current situation in Japan and here by the way.

After images emerged of Gov. Gavin Newsom maskless at the 49ers-Rams football game over the weekend, parents and students coordinated to stage the demonstration.
“Our own governor doesn’t follow these rules, so why should our children have to be wearing a mask?” asked parent Jennifer Henry. “He’s at this football game with all these people.”
Another parent, Jennifer Poth, said her 8-year-old son went to school without a mask on Tuesday, prompting school officials to call her on the phone.
“They called me to ask me to pick him up, and I refused. I said, ‘No. It is your job to educate my son, and he has every right to be there,'” Poth said.
It subsequently emerged that her son was “forced him to go outside in 43-degree weather and sit there and try to do schoolwork,” prompting Superintendent Dave Kline to issue an apology.
“More students districtwide went to class without a mask on Wednesday,” reported KCRA 3.
