Cincinnati Children’s Hospital issued a statement Wednesday following backlash over the claim it denied a 12-year-old relative of Vice President JD Vance a spot on its heart transplant waiting list over her vaccination status.
The hospital, which alternatively has no qualms subjecting kids to dangerous sex-change drugs and mutilations, suggested that its vaccine requirement is informed by its responsibility “to ensure that every donated organ is used in a way that maximizes successful outcomes for children in need.”
Adaline Deal, whose mother is related to the vice president’s half-siblings through marriage, suffers from two heart conditions, Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that after nearly a decade receiving treatment from the Cincinnati hospital, the girl was informed on Jan. 17 that her heart was failing, functioning at just 42%.
While Deal’s heart cannot be fixed, it can be replaced.
