Vice President JD Vance says he wants to help relative after she was rejected for a heart transplant apparently for being unvaccinated against Covid.
Twelve-year-old Adaline Deal has a rare heart defect that puts her at risk of sudden heart failure and stops her body from circulating oxygen properly.
The girl would be eligible for a heart transplant but because her parents refuse to vaccinate her against Covid, Cincinnati Children's hospital in Ohio has declined to add her to its transplant waiting list.
The hospital said it requires vaccines to protect transplant recipients from viruses because they will require anti-rejection immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of their lives which makes them vulnerable to severe infections.
Adaline's mother Jeneen Deal - whose son is married to Vance's half-sister - issued a desperate plea on DailyMail.com last week saying she 'doesn't know how long' her daughter has left.

Responding to the vice president's comments, Jeneen added: 'That's so awesome... like so hopeful that he knows about it, and that he's aware of it.
'Hopefully he'll get aware of the bill [in Congress], so maybe it'll get some more attention because it's so important for this bill to get passed.'
Jeneen, from Indiana, said she is not seeking 'special treatment' but is urging the government to allow everyone who needs one to get a transplant regardless of their vaccination status.
She told this website: 'I pray that President Trump and all of the states will stand up for everyone facing vaccination status [discrimination] due to their conscientious and religious beliefs.'

The policy is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, especially since myocarditis is one of the risks of mRNA vaccination.
I have a friend that got a kidney transplant at Mayo/Rochester. She insisted on a vax free kidney…and she got it.
I read there is some danger for heart valve replacements due to spike proteins in the blood vessels that can damage them with inflammation adding to the main problem and myocarditis, too.
seems like full heart transplant
patients would be similarly at risk to clot shots.

If operating room staff and doctors adhere to sterilization protocol should it matter?
Why, no, of course not. That’s why it’s such a stupid reg.
One major reason its acceptable not to get vaxxed is b/c the vax causes blood clots.
The girl has heart problems——means she is in danger
of blood clots...... and deadly pulmonary embolisms.
This was handled ineptly.
Pass a bill making hospital officials guilty of manslaughter when a person dies for this reason. Things would change real quick.
How can a jab that doesn’t prevent one from getting whatever, and doesn’t prevent one from spreading whatever be called a “vaccine”. True vaccines create immunities.
If she has antibodies against covid (already had it) she is as well off as she would be even if vaccination were safe. Why don’t at least they require “is vaccinated or has antibodies”?
Also, if she is going to be immunosuppressed, how is previous vaccination going to help? Immunosuppression prevents mounting an(acquired)immune reaction.
The “Damn Shot” is about to be outlawed in some states and these A$$##### are mandating it. Send a swat team into their corporate office.
She insisted on a vax free kidney…and she got it.
That’s what she was TOLD, anyway.
That is criminal on the hospital’s part.
I’ll bet an unvaxxed illegal would be moved to the front of the line.
JUST DAYS AGO-—BIRX CLAIMED THE VACCINES DID NOT PREVENT INFECTION FROM COVID.
