[Guno צְבִי]

A Boston man fighting for his life at Brigham and Women's Hospital has been removed from the heart transplant list for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

David Ferguson has spoken out on the behalf of his 31-year-old son DJ who is no longer eligible for the transplant according to hospital policy.

"It's kind of against his basic principles; he doesn't believe in it," Ferguson told WBZ. "It's a policy they are enforcing and so because he won't get the shot, they took him off the list of a heart transplant."

Brigham and Women's released a statement saying, "And like many other transplant programs in the United States – the COVID-19 vaccine is one of several vaccines and lifestyle behaviors required for transplant candidates in the Mass General Brigham system in order to create both the best chance for a successful operation and also the patient's survival after transplantation."

To be eligible for organ transplant you have to be religiously compliant with all health protocols. That means taking your prescribed meds as directed, losing weight and maintaining it if directed, stop smoking, no drinking, get recommended vaccines, etc. Organs are rare and precious and are given only to those who have shown that they will be compliant with the stringent post-transplantation protocols.

Would you waste a precious donated liver on an unreformed alcoholic with cirrhosis, or would you give it to a person who has shown that she is willing to do what it takes to live?
