Bull s***
Read about Mickey Mantle’s liver transplant people.
Stupidity is killing this man. Not his heart condition. His parents are foolish for going along with his delusions.
How evil can these doctors be? It's his choice if he don't want Biden poison. Why deny him a right to life. This draconian roman mandates and evil in this country is an abomination.
No hospital is going to “recommend†the vaccine, it is a requirement. Transplants costs are hundreds of thousands of dollars. I wish this family the best.
To all of those who spew such hate……karma to you!
Here, I've fixed it for you ABC: patient refuses heart transplant because he hasn't received a covid-19 vaccine
This is stupid. They should not deny people medical help.
Honestly… you really want policy to back up procedure! Not procedure over policy
Pfizer is not as bad as Moderna. The side effects of covid is worse for your heart.
Use a pig heart.
You have raised a son like we did. He refuses to get vaccinated as well. Make your peace with it.
kinda funny that the parents saying it's politic but actually DJ and them are doing this because of politic. hope the best for DJ. Doctor knows best what to do
Can't believe the parents actually believe they know more then the doctors. Asking the doctors to provide proof ortherwise no vaccination. And then there's DJ has done "HIS RESEARCH", hopefully they come to their senses soon.
She just said he didn't want the vaccine but then said he got all the vaccine an also said " procedure over policies"..wait what ?ðŸ¤ I'ma back up slowly an just respond with..ok.😬
😂😂😂 if you need a shot to have freedom you're freedom is a illusion
Ma'am we all have immune systems some just doesn't work as good as others, Fair is fair an rules are rules, if the other patients are willing to do what's needed then they get the transplant, if not then u get pushed ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK like the rest of us. I also heard death is like a blink of an eye an since we all have to go threw it I say just live the way u seem fit an don't live for anyone else , we will all meet the same fate in the end .
🙄
Simple… get the shot
YOU SHEEP COMMENTING ON HERE MAKE ME SICK!!!!! TO ALL YOU WHO TOOK THE POISON JAB: SEE WHAT YOU ARE LIKE IN THE FUTURE!! FOOLS!!!!!
WOW JUST WOW!!! YOU FFFIN ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘ðŸÂ‘
For the love of God, do it for your children!
Really bothers me how the mother said the doctors need to put procedures over policies… policies are put into place for a reason for whomever donated that heart didn't donate in vein….these people are their son are not deserving of a heart I'm sorry to say.
their son is in this situation due to his ignorant parents.
yeah lets start transplanting lungs in people who still smoke a pack a day……
" my son my son need a hart" stupid lady then convince him to take the dumb shots.
so stupid that man is he does not belive in the science of vaccine but yet he trust hart surgery. so dumb these people are NO VACCINE NO HART.
He is a man of principle. He rather gives up his place in the transplant list than taking a doctor recommended/required vaccine. Give me liberty or give me death!!! Very honorable. ðŸ‘ÂÂÂ
I would like to understand how people all over the planet are going to continue to live when the covid problem is gone? Continuing to hate each other? And how will the survivors look into each other's faces knowing that many people have died? Will they live and rejoice that they survived? It's a strange situation.
Play stupid games folks…
Are they doing the same for obese patients for them to loose weight before getting a transplant?
This is not something to be potentially wasted. It can save a life for someone who is a compliant patient
There is severely limited number of donor hearts available to suffering patients. Immunosuppressive drugs are used after heart transplants to prevent organ rejection. Hearts are given only to the patients with the best chance of survival for both donor heart and recipient. Multiple criteria used for the selection process. Every year only about 2200 hearts are available for transplants for millions of patients with congestive heart failure
He has no respect for himself or others. Play by the rules or shut up.
Never underestimate the power of ignorance
This man is so selfish he is willing to abandon his children to feed his ignorant arrogance. He truly has no empathy
To be honest the world is better without this guy. If you can't make such a stupid decision just to get a shot for a heart then we don't need them.
There are thousands of others on their death beds who have refused the vaccine.
His mother's IQ is lacking
The news is complicit in this, platforming these misguided people, as if the argument they're making is equal but then fall equivalency is kind of their whole thing.
Covid-19’s is among us for a long time . So getting a heart from someone that they think will not or haven’t had Covid is a long shot . The vaccine 💉 works . What they are saying is old news ðŸâ€â€Âž I hope he doesn’t die. ðŸ™ÂÂÂðŸÂ¾😇
MANY people need hearts. More than are available. The patient refused a heart when he refused to follow medical protocols in place to protect the organ from rejection.
