BOSTON (CBS) – David Ferguson is speaking out passionately on behalf of his son DJ. He says the 31-year-old is fighting for his life at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and in desperate need of a heart transplant. “My son has gone to the edge of death to stick to his guns and he’s been pushed to the limit,” Ferguson said.
The family says he was at the front of the line to receive a transplant but because he has not received the COVID-19 vaccination he is no longer eligible according to hospital policy. And Ferguson says his son refuses to get the shot.
“It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it. 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,” Ferguson said.
Man Can't Get Heart Transplant Because He's Not Vaccinated Against COVID
DJ Ferguson was set to receive a heart transplant, but because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19 he is no longer eligible, according to hospital policy.boston.cbslocal.com
Do you think it's right to deny someone medical care based on their vaccination status?
All that jockeying goes on outside of the match itself, which doesn't care at all. It's totally focused on generating the list of compatible recipients with the most compatible at the top.There is always a long list waiting for a transplant, if you do not follow the rules you do not get it. Been that way forever unless you are rich enough to bypass such things
actually, your lying ignored, you make a good point of denying the guy a new heart in any case, as he will die anyway. was that your intention? or are you permanently confused?And did you read that?
Did you understand what was written?
Even with the vaccine it can but not all the time!
Again,
It matter because you are refusing to accept the person survival rate with or without the vaccine is very low, and with Omicron the fact is he will die if he contracts it no matter vaccinated or not…
I know, you believe that the vaccine will be the cure even when the manufacturers said there will never be a true cure…
Now tell us again what is the guy chances of surviving if he get Omicron with or without the vaccine and then show me how many people died with less severe conditions that have been jabbed twice?
We've already had one pig heart transplant. It's only the beginning.actually, your lying ignored, you make a good point of denying the guy a new heart in any case, as he will die anyway. was that your intention? or are you permanently confused?
look up the meaning of "probability". then apply this new knowledge to the topic at hand.
Vaccine is not safe for people with heart conditions. Especially boys/men.It takes about 10 seconds to get the vaccine.
The guy is too stubborn for his own good.
sure. if more hearts are available, then even medically non-compliant patients might get a heart of a genetically modified pig. i guess that is an option for the antivaxxer in the OP. it is only extremely experimental, and involves genetic alteration of a mammal.We've already had one pig heart transplant. It's only the beginning.

Not exactly. An organ will be compatible with many, many people. The organ does not go with the most compatible, it goes to the most needy patient who is compatible.All that jockeying goes on outside of the match itself, which doesn't care at all. It's totally focused on generating the list of compatible recipients with the most compatible at the top.
Two words. Hospital Policy. If the policy is you don’t get surgery if your not vaccinated then you don’t get surgery. Simple as that.The vaccines does not stop you from contracting the Omicron version of the virus, why take it if he is already at high risk and die?
Neither is COVID.Vaccine is not safe for people with heart conditions. Especially boys/men.
Two words. Hospital Policy. If the policy is you don’t get surgery if your not vaccinated then you don’t get surgery. Simple as that.
Rules are rules.hEAltHCarE iS a HuMAn RiGHt!
Rules are rules.
When did I say that?Yes, I know you lied when you said healthcare is a human right. Everyone knows you lied.

Incorrect. The match algorithm matches solely on medical factors. "Need" doesn't factor into it. In fact, some people on the list "need" the organ too much. They are too sick to get it and get kicked off the list. Basically, the longer you stay on the list, the less likely it is you will get an organ. In addition, it's not a binary decision because there are levels of compatibility. There are multiple things to match on, blood type being the most common and the one everyone thinks of first. There is usually a handful of ideal matches, and the compatibility goes down from there. Get a kidney from a twin sibling and you're near perfect. I have seen scenarios, however, where the list of compatible recipients is small enough that they go through the entire list without finding anyone willing to take the organ.Not exactly. An organ will be compatible with many, many people. The organ does not go with the most compatible, it goes to the most needy patient who is compatible.
Getting on the list in the first place is hard work and requires following the rules.
I don’t agree with you saying that I said it.You don't agree with that statement?
Yes, need is a medical factor. That's why people can sit on the list for many years who have low need and some people can sit on the list for mere weeks who are high need. A person who is sitting on VA ECMO is ranked as status 1 whereas an otherwise ambulatory patient is ranked down to status 4-6.Incorrect. The match algorithm matches solely on medical factors.

Here's how the match works. When donor organs become available (I think they're up to 7 or 8 now), one of the nurses on the transplant team goes to the UNOS website, enters in the blood chemistry, tissue typing info, age, weight, etc. of the donor, then clicks on "Run match". The matching process automatically kicks off and creates a list of potential recipients with the most compatible first, and texts and phone calls automatically go out to the doctors caring for the recipients. Things like proximity are considered, as some organs don't last very long outside the donor's body. Kidneys last for 30 hours and can be transported across the nation via UPS, USPS, whoever is available, so a recipient could be several states away and have time to get to the hospital. Hearts and lungs last 6 hours or less, so they can't go very far. That means the cute little girl who needs a heart in the next state over is bumped in favor of the elderly man fighting for his life in the hospital on the other side of town. The match is heartless, and the ideal recipient is a young, otherwise fit person who just got put on the list. That is one factor that can get him an organ and deny someone else who "needs" it more.
Now, a potential recipient and the hospital he/she is in have some options, and these are a factor in the decision as to whether they accept the organ or not. The patient can say, for example, that they will not accept an organ from a person of another race. Stupid, but possible. They can, OTOH, be desperate enough to say they will accept an organ from a donor who is a drug addict or has cancer, something most people don't want. But if you're 85 years old and want to squeeze another few years out of life, why not? The hospital can also, have differing standard in what they will accept for a patient and what they will reject, and that can affect the overall survivability a hospital advertises to insurance companies. IOW, the perfect recipient might already be in the hospital waiting, but the doctor could look at the photo they sent to his phone on the golf course and say, "Nope, I don't like it", and he doesn't get it.
