Unvaccinated baby approved for heart transplant after denial; bioethicist shares ‘puzzling situation’

Tennessee six-month-old August Stoll finally has been approved for a much-needed heart transplant after the child had to endure a bumpy road early in his young life.

Vanderbilt University Hospital originally denied the baby the procedure due to his vaccination status — even though the child's case was reportedly the "worst" defect that one cardiologist had ever seen, according to the family's GiveSendGo campaign.

The hospital mandated that Stoll needed to receive a series of vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccination, before he could be placed on the transplant list.

The baby’s parents refused to abide by the requirements based on their religious beliefs and their medical concerns related to Stoll’s immunocompromised status.

Bioethicist, theologian and "Losing Our Dignity" author Charlie Camosy said during an appearance on "Fox News @ Night" on Monday that he considered the case a "puzzling situation."

"Normally, doctors in the business are trying to protect children … but it looked like [the doctor in this case] might’ve been playing some kind of COVID politics with this," said Camosy — who has no personal connection to the case — during his appearance.

Though neither the hospital nor Stoll’s doctor responded to Fox News Channel's request for comment, Camosy said that in his opinion, the physician should lose his license if the mother’s account of what happened is valid.

"Think about the power imbalance here," he said. "Think about the desperation this family has felt."

It’s "not all that uncommon" for doctors to take advantage of their power by imposing their personal ideologies on patients, according to Camosy's research.

that it will be 20 years before folks trust them again.

Trust them again?

No sane person should ever trust these idiots with medical degrees who kept silent and let the psycho murderers inject untested, potentially dangerous scam vaxxxxxines into people. And now most of these cowards seem to be OK with little children being maimed and even killed by Fauci's/BIG PHARMA/DNC insanity.

No sane person should ever trust these idiots with medical degrees who kept silent…

Fine, no argument there.… Now how does that position translate into a workable and actionable methodology/relationship with your doctor in the future? At the end of the day, there is virtually zero people who will never need a doctor during his/her lifetime…. Are you suggesting that you will never have anything to do with a doctor again? Shunned for good? Good luck with that.

As for me, I like my doctor and I’m not on the hunt for a replacement until he retires in the next 5 years… even if what he said about ivermectin was boneheaded and ill considered. When I made the statement to him that “it will be 20 years before folks trust them again”, that was a general comment directed at the entire medical industry because of how they behaved during the WuFlu debacle. Not stated but implied is that they have to make the required changes that allow that trust to be rebuilt. While my comment was worded to be quite sweeping, it naturally was also directed to him personally… he is of course part of the ‘medical industry’ but it was he personally who made the ivermectin comments to me. I don’t think that there was anything wrong with letting him know directly that while I will continue in a doctor-client relationship with him, he is on notice that he does not have my complete confidence.

Are you suggesting that there is a more logical position to take? What would you advise?
