An Ohio veteran has claimed he was denied a heart transplant because he refused to take a COVID vaccine.
Ken Long, 54, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure nearly a year ago, after he became ill on a family vacation to Texas, his wife, Christina, told Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom.
He was eventually sent to The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati for a heart transplant and was set to receive 'the next heart that came in so long as his body was otherwise healthy,' she said.
When the tests came back showing 'he was in perfect health other than a very sick heart,' it became to sign consent forms, and hospital staff told the family he would have to get a COVID vaccine.
But Ken immediately refused to take the jab.
'When I decide something, I mean it and if it takes dying, it's what it is,' he told WRKC.
'They don't know enough about it and plus it's already done a lot of damage - people have said blood clots. There are known cardiac issues an d our personal religious rights.'
Initially, Christina said she disagreed with her husband's decision.
'To be told he was so sick and possibly not going to live and that they were not going to give him a transplant due to his personal choice and religious beliefs, based on a vaccine, it was just absolutely mind-blowing,' Christina told the advocacy group.
'So then you go into fight-or-flight mode,' she said. 'I mean you're a mess, you're turned upside down, nothing makes sense, you don't trust anybody, you're afraid to say what you feel or think because you're going to be judged for it.

H3 should sue them for endangering his life by requiring that he take a drug that is known to hurt people before he can get life saving care!
A very close friend in ohio being denied heart from osu also for refusal to get the jab
265+ million Americans have received at least 2 have. But America is still functioning and millions voted for Trump who was the force behind warp speed development of experimental covid vax.
That's some nice federal funding you got there - it'd be a shame to lose it.
2 jabs.
Bobby is in the room now to take on the Medical Industrial Complex and hopefully any Chamber of Commerce RINO’s in HHS trying to protect it will not have the final say.
265+ million Americans have received at least 2 jabs.

Despicable.

Can you name a drug that doesn’t have side effects that can hurt people?
Does anyone here know what the supposed ‘rationale’ for such a draconian/totalitarian policy might be? The only one I can come up with is that they want to ‘save’ the procedure for someone who they think might live longer, ie, someone who’s been ‘vaccinated’... Obscenely twisted, but that’s what I come up with...
That’s Dr Kennedy, suh
He should have taken COQ 10 when he was first diagnosed.
It did wonders for me!
Why take the vaccine that could kill him, too? I thought the forced vaxxes had been stopped.
Analysis: People who took the Vax need new hearts more, apparently. For some reason.
Then Governor Bob Casey of PA got a heart and a liver. Then Mickey Mantle also got a heart and a liver. Casey lived a while and Mantle died pretty soon after. The public took notice and the medical establishment admitted they were given favored treatment for publicity reasons to raise public awareness, apparently willing to sacrifice the people that died because Mantle got rental organs instead of them.
But the toothpaste was out of the tube for those who paid attention, Doctors will decide if you live or die based on what they think of you and how they benefit, not your need.
Sure can. IVM. aka, Ivermectin
The American Social Credit System - denying treatment based on behavior, not whether or not you can afford it.
You’re not a vet! My dear old dead Navy veteran’s favorite words come to mind...”Blow me like you know me.”
