Unvaccinated is refused a transplant. The humanity of doctors at peak

A man from Boston has been removed from the top of a heart transplant list because he has so far refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine, so he would have less chance of surviving.

CBS Boston reports that DJ Furguson was on a waiting list to receive a heart at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, but has since been removed. Furguson's father told reporters that the COVID vaccine is “a bit contrary to its basic principles, he doesn't believe it. But since it's a political issue and he didn't get vaccinated, they took him off the heart transplant list ”.

"My son went to the brink of death to stick with his guns and was pushed to the limit," added Furguson.

“We are aggressively pursuing all options, but time is running out,” she continued, adding “I think my boyfriend is fighting so damn brave and he has integrity and principles that he really believes in and that still makes me respect him. more ."

“It's his body. It's his choice, ”Furguson said.

A hospital spokesman told the New York Post, "We do everything we can to ensure that a patient who receives a transplanted organ has the best chance of survival," adding "Our mass Brigham general health system requires several recommended vaccines. by the CDC, including the COVID-19 vaccine and lifestyle behaviors for transplant candidates to create both the best chance for a successful operation and to optimize patient survival after transplant, given that their immune system is drastically suppressed ".

"Patients are not active on the waiting list without vaccination," the spokesperson added.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for Furguson and has so far raised over $ 42,000 approximately.

His wife Amanda posted an update, noting that her husband “passed all tests to be placed on the transplant list and passed with flying colors as he is young and in good health apart from heart failure. That said, he was accepted as a candidate for heart transplantation ”.

He continues: “The vaccine typically causes swelling of the heart (the famous myocarditis). But in the case of DJs he CANNOT allow his heart to swell any more than it already is right now. If he does, he is at extremely high risk of sudden death. We have had several interviews with doctors, who have confirmed that his heart COULD swell and go into serious crisis but they cannot guarantee anything and it is a choice we will have to make if he wants to be included in the list ".

“We are devastated. We can't even process this, ”he continues, adding“ I haven't even found the courage to sit down with my son and explain what's happening to his father. I can't even begin to describe the pain we're all going through ”.

So the poor DJ has only two options: risk dying by waiting for a place on the transplant list or for the vaccine. At least he has a choice … However what can we say: little Pregliasco grow up …
