D.J. Ferguson, a 31-year-old man, is fighting for his life at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Ferguson has been hospitalized since November when his lungs started filling with blood and fluid due to a hereditary heart issue. He desperately needs a heart transplant. The good news had been that he was first on the transplant list. But then he refused to get the COVID vaccine, and hospital policy mandated his removal. The policy exists because the shortage of available hearts, and all other organs for that matter, means transplants are reserved for those patients most likely to survive the operation. As a transplant requires immunosuppressive drugs to reduce the chances of rejection, it raises the odds you will get COVID. And if you get COVID, it increases the likelihood you will die from the disease. Dr. Arthur Caplan, head of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, explains.
“Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off. The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving.”

Daddy is cray-cray. Maybe the kid is better off with mommy finding a new daddy. Someone sane enough to laugh at people who think the vaccine will make them vote Democrat.
Seriously. It's not just his opinion here. It's common sense, rational minds and a clear sense of the world. These wackadoodles think the Democrats suck the blood of babies for their pedophile rituals. We can't kill them but if they want to remove themselves from the gene pool, I'm a big believer in "My body, my choice".

Transplant organs are in short supply. There are waiting lists. There are requirements for being on the waiting lists. You are required to have vaccinations, COVID was added to the vaccination list. If you don’t want to comply with the requirements, you don’t get on the list. You don’t get your organ.
Candace may compare apples to oranges, it just shows her ignorance.
This is a suicide. Maybe assisted suicide, since I would say he's brainwashed. This is a cult. I don't care what anyone here says, or what anyone anywhere says. I know a freaking cult when I see one.
I'm sorry for his family. What a terrible, terrible shame.

Brainwashing doesn't really work. A more likely answer is he's mentally ill, some form of delusional disorder like the other cultists. Charlie Manson didn't "brainwash" California girls; he selected certain girls that were vulnerable meaning weak, stupid and/or mentally ill. The anti-vaxxer in question would, indeed, make a good recruit for a cult.

Hint: Mental illness and Low self-esteem is involved. This is a good primer: https://www.onlinepsychologydegree.i...logy-of-cults/
10 Things to Know About the Psychology of Cults
...many people successfully recruited by cults are said to have low self-esteem. Cults generally do not look to recruit those with certain handicaps or clinical depression. However, people with low self-esteem are easier to break down, then build back up in an effort to teach them that the cult is the supportive environment they’re looking for...
...According to various research, women make up a whopping 70% of cult members around the globe. Psychologists have different ideas about why more women than men join cults...
...Although it can be obvious to those around them, people in cults often don’t realize what they have become a part of. Psychologist Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer spent most of her career studying the psychology of cults and brainwashing. She found that most people enter a cult willingly, without realizing the power it is bound to have over them.

"Mentally I am not ready to share this update with everyone as we are still trying to process and accept this. But I feel that it's only fair to keep our friends and family in the loop considering the severity of this situation. After almost 50 days in the hospital with no answers, DJ was finally seen by some of the best cardiac specialists last week. After running countless tests and scans we learned that DJ is now in severe end stage heart failure, meaning that he is going to need a heart transplant to live. On top of the heart failure his heart is extremely swollen and dilated. Which puts him at high risk of cardiac arrest etc. The good news is that he went through all the testing to be put on the transplant list and passed with flying colors since he's young and healthy aside from the heart failure. With that being said he was accepted to be a candidate for heart transplant. The bad news is that the transplant board will not actively list him due to his vaccination status. Now I know this is a touchy subject for everyone, but let me explain this for the people that don't understand the issue with this. The vaccine typically causes swelling in the heart (usually temporary for most people no big deal right?) But in DJs case he can NOT afford for his heart to swell any more than it already is right now. He is at extremely high risk of sudden death if it does. We have had many conversations with the doctors, who confirmed that his heart COULD swell and go into severe crisis but they can't guarantee anything and it's a choice we will have to make if he wants to be listed. Two nights ago DJs vitals started to crash out of no where and they had to insert an emergency heart pump. This pump is essentially assisting his heart to pump 24/7 but it's usually only effective for about two weeks. When you're on this particular heart pump it pushes you to the top of the transplant list. Which we currently are not active on. Today DJs heart went into another serious episode and his labs are showing the beginning signs of cardiac shock. On Tuesday he will be getting an emergency open heart surgery to have an LVAD pump put in- this is the soonest they can get him into the OR. This pump will mechanically pump his heart until a donor heart becomes available. These pumps are used in temporary measures until someone is able to get a transplant and there's no saying how long it will last because it's different for everyone. We are literally in a corner right now. This is extremely time sensitive. We're being pressured to choose a shot that could kill him. This is not just a political issue. People need to have a choice! People need to realize that there ARE others out there that are at high risk while receiving this shot, and it COULD kill them. Unless you've been in this exact situation, your opinions are irrelevant. Please have some respect for my family. 60 days ago we were under the impression that DJ had pneumonia, and now he's desperately in need of a heart transplant. We are devastated. We can't even process this. I haven't even found the courage to sit down with my son and explain what is happening to his father. I can not even start to describe the pain we are all going through. Lastly, I want to add that despite the decision of the transplant board, he is in the best place possible. His nurses and doctors have been nothing but compassionate and amazing to him. Please keep him in your thoughts as he undergoes this first open heart surgery. The recovery from this pump is brutal and it's going to be life changing physically and emotionally. We are all rooting for you. You've got this❤"
