Hospital's Vaccine Policy Sparks Transplant Debate!

In Cincinnati, a heart transplant dilemma has gripped attention. A 12-year-old girl, Adaline Deal—related to VP JD Vance—is denied a heart transplant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital over her unvaccinated status. Despite her failing heart, she can't be listed due to hospital policy mandating flu and COVID-19 vaccines. The family's religious and medical beliefs clash with this requirement. The case echoes past transplant rejections tied to vaccination, highlighting ongoing ethical persuasions and policy flexibility within the U.S. healthcare system.
