    So this is actually much worse when you read the full story - she was adopted from China at 4 years old, they KNEW she had heart conditions that would one day require a transplant. 🧵

    BREAKING: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital denies VP JD Vance’s 12-year-old relative a heart transplant because she is not vaccinated against COVID-19, per NYP.

    - it is well known that a factor for transplant recipient amongst nearly every hospital in the country is “predicted years of life added”. You can sit here and say the hospital is letting a 12 year old die, there are over 2,000 kids on average on the national recipient waitlist

    - they are claiming vaccines are against their nondenominational Christian faith. While in Indiana, religious exemption is legal, there is no biblical reference against vaccinations as they did not exist, and there is no universal acceptance within the faith against vaccines

    So you adopted a child with known health issues, forced them to align with your religious beliefs (ding ding ding, indoctrination alert), and now you want to get mad at a hospital who is going to give a transplant to a child with parents who actually regard their child’s safety?

    I come from and know some great people who follow the teachings of Christ. My dad opened a church to clothe and feed the homeless. He spoke to men and women in the prison system. He believed in the word 1/3

    but also knew when to listen to someone more educated in an area than he was. The church and the orange man in office have poisoned and brainwashed people into believing that they should deny science and facts because god will save them. I sincerely hope this child gets the 2/3

    care the need and deserve in spite of their parents negligence. I promise you the doctors that wish to save your daughter’s life do not take these decisions lightly. If she does not receive that care, her death is in YOUR hands and no one else’s.
