An American hospital in Boston is currently refusing one of its patients a heart transplant. In question, it is not vaccinated once morest the coronavirus. The hospital center estimates, according to several American televisions, that the transplant would be doomed to failure.
Indeed, in a press release, sent in particular to AFP, the hospital explains that its “health care system requires several vaccines recommended by health authorities, including the vaccine once morest Covid-19″. This is David Ferguson, the father of the patient refusing the vaccine who testified in front of the cameras of American journalists. “It’s fundamentally once morest his principles, he doesn’t believe in it,” he said.
In their statement, the caregivers explain that vaccination must be coupled with a “discipline of life” in order to create “for the candidate for a transplant the best conditions for a successful operation”.
Vaccination, a source of division across the Atlantic
A statement that has been carefully drafted and therefore suggests other reasons that may explain the choice of hospital.
Now, David Ferguson plans to transfer his son to another establishment, but the “time is running out” when he is already weakened. To United States, only 62% of the population is fully vaccinated. A real fracture which is explained by deep political divisions, in particular on the question of vaccination.
