A 12-year-old distant relative of Vice President J.D. Vance was denied a heart transplant because she’s unvaccinated against COVID-19 and flu, the girl’s family said.

The Indiana family said Cincinnati Children’s won’t put their daughter on the transplant waiting list because of her vaccination status.

“Janeen Deal, who is related by marriage to Vice President JD Vance’s half-siblings, said the hospital requires her daughter to receive COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, which Janeen and her husband are unwilling to do,” Cincinnati Enquirer reports. read more

  1. Remember when they were the dancing Healthcare Heroes on the flashmob frontlines fighting the coof menace?

    And where’s a usurping federal judge when you need one to use her illegitimate powers to do some good?

  2. I am today sitting in a hospital room, as a family member’s patient advocate. Admitted last night from ER, repeat visit, good hospital, lets me stay 24/7. This time, a covid test showed positive (on top of chronic condition). So, I put the IV rack in the corner, behind the recliner so nurse would have to wake me to get to it. This morning, doc says they can offer ‘therapeutics’ for the covid. What, Remdesivir? Yes. Nope, we’re not interested in that. Patient had covid 3 years ago, treated at home w/ivermectin and hydroxychloraquin; can you offer that? Nope, they’re not approved.

    Proven effective –in this patient, even– but not approved. By whom?!

    But here’s the kicker: Patient doesn’t go anywhere but medical appointments. Had to have caught the illness while in the care of the system. And then, the system’s solution is organ failure as a treatment. The doctors and nurses are nice enough and some of them fully concur with our preferred treatment (especially considering patient’s chronic illness), but there is only one protocol they are permitted to administer.

    So, here (again) is my PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Don’t you or your loved ones go near a hospital without a legally designated patient advocate to speak for you, in case you get too sleepy or too sick to speak for yourself. You are likely to wake up with a standard protocol drip in your arm. Or not to wake up.

    And don’t even get me started on last night’s rescue squad… one of whom told me I couldn’t ride in the ambulance –because of covid restrictions, two of whom told me it would be fine, and the fourth one who declared himself ‘in charge,’ and told me I couldn’t –because of insurance regulations. They drove off in two vehicles, leaving me home alone at night, up a hill in a snowstorm on a secondary road, and taking the semiconscious patient to the ER without the glasses, medications, and insurance info in my purse. Fortunately, I have redneck friends with gas-guzzling off-road trucks. Every damn time I deal with the ‘health’ system, they throw some new cruelty or stupidity at us. Sorry for venting. Now I know why SNS’s posts tend to be lengthy; he deals with this crap all the time.
