(DCWatchdog.com) – In a stunning case of injustice, Indiana’s Adaline Deal, a 12-year-old girl and distant relative of Vice President JD Vance, faces a devastating denial for a desperately needed heart transplant.
See the tweet below!
Despite serious medical conditions, the hospital’s policy stands firm; no vaccine, no transplant.
Adaline Deal was born with Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, two rare heart conditions that necessitate a transplant.
Adopted from China at age four, she has been under specialist care at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
Yet, due to her lack of COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, the hospital refuses her a spot on the heart transplant list.
The hospital’s vaccination policy disregards Adaline’s parents’ religious beliefs as nondenominational Christians.
They argue that vaccines are unsafe and have decided not to vaccinate their daughter.
The family remains resolute in their conviction, even when faced with adversities like organ transplant denials.
“I thought, wow. So, it’s not about the kid. It’s not about saving her life,” said the girl’s mother, Janeen Deal, cited by z100.
The hospital insists vaccines are critical for transplant patients who have increased vulnerability to infections.
Dr. Camille Kotton remarked on the high risk of severe disease and death among transplant patients, particularly in the first post-operative year.
Additionally, she noted the enduring risk of severe diseases like COVID-19 for these patients.
Despite these medical opinions, Janeen Deal remains unswayed by the warnings and medical advice.
Confident in her decision, she expressed belief in her children’s resilience against COVID-19, even post-transplant.
This reflects a growing concern among citizens about the intrusion of medical policies over personal beliefs.
“We’ll take it as we can if it happens. But I know I cannot put this (vaccine) in her body knowing what we know and how we feel about it,” Janeen Deal said further.
Adaline’s parents are now actively seeking a different transplant center with no such vaccine mandates.
Meanwhile, generous support has been demonstrated by raising more than $50,000 through a GoFundMe campaign for Adaline’s medical journey.
This story amplifies the ongoing debate about vaccine mandates and individual freedoms, pushing us to consider where the balance lies between public health and personal choice.
