A 31-year-old father has been removed from the heart transplant list at a Boston hospital because he is refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, his family said. DJ Ferguson was first on the list to receive the transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital — but he is no longer eligible because of his vaccination status, CBS Boston reported. His father, David Ferguson, said his son — who is fighting for his life in the hospital and is in desperate need of the transplant — doesn’t believe in the COVID-19 vaccine. “It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it.

But give a pig heart transplant to a criminal (David Bennett Sr.) because "It is the solemn obligation of any hospital or health care organization to provide lifesaving care to every patient who comes through their doors based on their medical needs. Any other standard of care would set a dangerous precedent and would violate the ethical and moral values that underpin the obligation physicians and caregivers have to all patients in their care.” Hypocritical slime libterds.

Why can't they just say that all hospital personnel in the emergency room for the procedure have to be vaccinated?

For those who want 100% government run healthcare, this is what it will look like. They will pick and choose and if you do not do what they insist you could just be a goner. I find this totally disgusting.

So the Hospital is saying that the patient has to have a vaccine that does not work that could possibly kill him due to heart inflammation (a known side effect) or be removed from the transplant list. Either way he could die. I wonder what their medical ethics people would say about that. This get vaccinated because it is best for you no longer holds water since the Covid vaccine does not really vaccinate you against the virus. This get vaccinated or we will let you die edict stuff is getting old. Guess the physicians and administrators at the hospital forgot what the hospital's mission is.

On a similar note, my brother just had his pacemaker replaced. After it was completed, at the follow up appointment, he asked his cardiologist if he should get the booster shot. The cardiologist said if you got the two shots, he would say “wait a year for the booster”, too many cases of myocarditis. In the case of the person in this article, if they got myocarditis while awaiting a transplant, if it didn’t kill him it would disqualify him from the transplant. Makes no sense to force a cardiac patient to get the shot with all of the myocarditis that has occurred.

This is a huge hospital system. I see lawsuits coming their way. Also, have you ever noticed how many hospitals have women in the name? I've worked in the medical field most of my life, and traveled all over the country, and I've never seen or heard of a hospital with men in the name. Why is that? The quality of care is the same, so it makes no difference, but it does seem odd about the names.

New York actor and comedian Michael Rapaport posted another online video Sunday from his local Rite Aid on the Upper East Side — this time saying the store is closing down because of incessant shoplifting. The post was an update to a video Rapaport put on Instagram last week flipping out about a purported shoplifter brazenly walking out of the Manhattan Rite Aid with bags full of stolen goods. “Back in my Rite Aid and there’s nothing to steal because this Rite Aid, like so many other Rite Aids, is closing down because everyone stole everything,”

Getting old is neither easy nor fun. It’s part of life, and it’s a challenge we all must face. One key aspect of that challenge is being able to stay current. We must strive to not only understand the changes affecting our families, our individual health, and our own spheres of influence, but we must also work to grasp the realities of an ever-changing society. Neil Young is a 76-year-old singer/songwriter and, based on his sparse musical output over the past few decades, his recent focus has not been on producing compelling, appealing music. And after what we witnessed this week, it’s also safe to say that Mr. Young

Last week, I wrote about Resistance excitement over a claim that Republicans "forged" phony Electoral College documents in an attempt to fool the world into thinking President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. It turned out there was much less to the story than met the eye. Now there is another seemingly sensational story about the period when Trump was still in office and refusing to accept the results of the election. Last Friday, Politico published an article headlined, "Read the never-issued Trump order that would have seized voting machines." The piece included the text of a White House "draft executive order,"

Once again, we had several candidates for the week’s top knucklehead, with the primary competition coming from our esteemed Commander-in-Chief once again. President Joe Biden had a press conference for the ages on Wednesday and seemed hellbent on being named KOTW for the second consecutive week, something that has never happened. With Biden’s buffoonery becoming tiresome – and with the possibility of simply declaring Biden as Knucklehead of the Century and being done with it – we decided to honor Sleepy Joe with just an Honorable Mention this week, and to opt instead for some misguided college kids.

Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in Geneva for roughly 90 minutes Friday in the latest attempt at diplomacy, more than a week after diplomatic talks involving the two nations and NATO broke down. During the meeting – which Lavrov called “constructive and usefu l– the US reportedly agreed to provide Russia with a written response to their demands

Los Angeles’ top prosecutor has been ripped for putting the public at risk with his soft-on-crime approach after two women were killed allegedly at the hands of homeless men in the last week. Longtime prosecutor Jon Hatami told Fox News on Tuesday that LA District Attorney George Gascon — and other progressive prosecutors across the country — needed to be voted out. “Nobody should have a district attorney who refuses to file charges against murderers and rapists and child abusers to the fullest extent of the law. That person does not deserve to be the DA,” said Hatami, a fellow LA prosecutor.

A majority of Americans says in a stunning new poll that U.S. democracy is at risk of 'extinction.' The assessment comes in a new poll near the anniversary of President Joe Biden's first year in office, just days after the anniversary of the Capitol riot. About half, or 26 per cent, said U.S. democracy's survival 'is secured for future generations,' according to the poll from Schoen Cooperman Research. Slightly fewer, 23 per cent, said they weren't sure, with 51 per cent saying democracy was in danger of extinction. The result comes after President Joe Biden spoke about the Capitol riot

On a regular basis, we receive comments and feedback from readers questioning the wisdom of not honoring President Joseph R. Biden as that week’s top knucklehead. Our responses generally include some variation of this statement: We could justify Biden being KOTW every week, but we have to change things up a bit. However, there are other weeks in which Biden outdoes himself by putting on such an impressive display of buffoonery that we simply can’t ignore him. Such was the case this week. Winner: Joe Biden’s presidency is disintegrating before our eyes, but the president is clueless as ever.

Biden has seen public support plunge during the past year as successive waves of COVID variants have upended his campaign promise to beat the virus. On Thursday he delivered an update on his response, but the NewsNation poll, conducted by Decision Desk HQ, reveals a country that distrusts him and his senior advisers.

The US Treasury said on Friday it is considering alternatives to facial-recognition technology to verify identities for online taxpayer accounts after some lawmakers raised privacy concerns.

The measure has been met with criticism from lawmakers, who argue that the software is intrusive and inaccurate. Representative Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, called the move a 'very, very bad idea, ' adding that facial recognition is less accurate with dark skin tones.

There is a growing eagerness on the right to talk frankly about the crisis of masculinity in America, and to defend traditional manliness against an ascendant left that wants to destroy it. A robust defense of manliness is salutary, and long overdue. But it requires defining what manliness is, and what it is for, because not everyone on the right seems to know. For some conservatives, the conversation about masculinity has gone completely off the rails.
