(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a new medical outrage, Adaline Deal, a 12-year-old distant relative of Vice President JD Vance, has been denied a life-saving heart transplant due to her unvaccinated status.

This heartbreaking case highlights the tension between personal beliefs and medical protocols, leaving many Americans questioning just how far government overreach extends in personal health decisions.
Adaline suffers from Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, two rare heart conditions diagnosed at a young age.
Her need for a heart transplant was anticipated, but her parents’ decision not to vaccinate her has led Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to exclude her from the transplant list.
The hospital, adhering to strict vaccination guidelines, decided against granting an exemption for Adaline’s family’s religious beliefs.
Adaline’s parents, devoted nondenominational Christians, maintain that vaccines are unsafe and prefer to rely on their faith for protection against COVID-19.
Janeen Deal, Adaline’s mother, expressed frustration and disbelief, stating, “I thought, wow. So, it’s not about the kid. It’s not about saving her life.”
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital justifies their position by emphasizing that transplant patients are particularly vulnerable to infections after the surgery.
Dr. Camille Kotton outlined the medical reasoning, noting, “The first year after transplant is when they’re at highest risk for infection, but they do have a lifelong risk of severe disease and transplant patients are still dying because of COVID-19.”
This viewpoint, however, clashes with many Americans who argue for individual choice and religious freedom in healthcare, The New York Post notes in a report.
While the hospital stands firm, Adaline’s family is seeking alternative treatment centers that do not impose a vaccination prerequisite.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe campaign to finance Adaline’s transplant has garnered substantial support, raising over $50,000.
This public backing underscores a growing discontent with invasive healthcare mandates and resonates with many who feel personal liberty is under threat.
Despite the medical establishment’s rationale, Janeen Deal remains steadfast.
She stated, “We’ll take it as we can if it happens. But I know I cannot put this (vaccine) in her body knowing what we know and how we feel about it.”
This case poses challenging questions about where the line should be drawn between public health and personal choice.
With a child’s life in the balance, the discussion over ethical guidelines for organ transplants continues, touching the hearts of Americans who believe in protecting family values and personal freedoms.
Where are all the 'my body, my choice' people when it comes to a 12yr old receiving a functioning heart? https://t.co/S6LWlHkVYG
