A 12-year-old Indiana girl, Adaline Deal, a distant relative of Vice President JD Vance, has been barred from a heart transplant list because she is unvaccinated against COVID-19 and the flu. Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where Adaline has been treated for nearly a decade, requires transplant patients to be vaccinated, citing the importance of protecting vulnerable patients from severe infections.
A 12-year-old Indiana girl who is related to Vice President JD Vance has been barred from a spot on a heart transplant list because she’s not been vaccinated against COVID-19 and the flu, according to her parents.
“I thought, wow. So, it’s not about the kid. It’s not about saving her life,” Janeen Deal told the newspaper of the hospital’s decision to deny her daughter.The pulse-pounding moment ICE grabs baby-faced gangbanger and accused killer hiding out in Houston “The first year after transplant is when they’re at highest risk for infection, but they do have a lifelong risk of severe disease and transplant patients are still dying because of COVID-19,” Kotton said.
A Cincinnati Children’s spokesperson declined to confirm that Adaline had been kept off the transplant list, but told the Enquirer that the hospital’s clinical decisions are “guided by science research and best practices” and that the hospital follows guidelines from the National Institutes of Health.
