A Boston father of three in urgent need of a heart transplant was reportedly taken off the list because of his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
31-year-old D.J. Ferguson is currently staying at Brigham and Women’s Hospital awaiting the transplant, the Daily Caller reports. His father said his son “has gone to the edge of death to stick to his guns and he’s been pushed to the limit.”
“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,” David Ferguson said.
D.J.’s family said he was originally at the top of the transplant list, but was deemed ineligible after his vaccine refusal due to hospital policy.
“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,” the hospital said.
D.J. is a father of two with a third baby on the way, and is becoming too weak to move as his family considers their options.
“We are aggressively pursuing all options, but we are running out of time,” David said. “I think my boy is fighting pretty damn courageously and he has integrity and principles he really believes in and that makes me respect him all the more.”

liberal communist / facist / nazis are playing god.
This is what you get with socialized medicine under government control which itself is controlled by socialist educated politicians who are swayed by the needs of THE PARTY over the needs of THE PERSON. Obamacare promised you could keep your physician, but never told you, that you would lose your place at the hospital if you voted the wrong way and refused to knuckle under. The age of Obamacare Death Panels is upon us. Better to be dead than not democrat is their thinking.
AND THIS IS why we need to END GOVT mandated health care.. THEY DICTATE who lives and who dies.
That Doctors oath doesn’t mean anything anymore to these arrogant Doctors and Fauci followers.
More and more, it seems NO OATH, means anything anymore.. Whether federal officials, Judges, military or doctors… ONES word USED To be ones bond. Now its worth as much as a roll of wet, used toilet paper.
Now, that’s compassion—the Hippocratic Oath exemplified.
THese days, its more the ‘HIPPOCRITIC oath…
Pray for DJ that God will heal him!
– 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,” the hospital said.
“It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it.”
A principle is a kind of rule, belief, or idea that guides you.
All I can say is this guy will either live or die for his principles.
Hummm….. he either gets the shot and lives or he refuses to get the shot and dies?????
This guy sure sounds like a Democrat. They don’t make much sense to me. 😯
He does sound kind of “I’ll chop off my nose to spite my face” silly.
But do wonder if they are throwing away otherwise eligible hearts if the donor was not covid vaccinated & boosted before dying?
Are they saying the dying guy has to be 3 shot vaccinated & that they can treat / keep him alive if he happens to get vax induced myocarditis before they find a new heart for him?
Will he need another 3 covid shots after he gets new heart & is it possible the vax could cause myocarditis in the new heart?
Seems to be quite a conundrum.
Plus, we have HEARD of medical folks, who ADVISE their patients “Cause of your XYZ medical issue, do NOT GET the shots”..
So has he been advised to NOT GET IT, because OF his heart issue.
I wish I had the funds to send him to a hospital that believes in saving lives so that he could have a chance.God bless him and his family.
I wonder, IS THERE A LIST OF ALL THese traitorous hospitals and DEMON LOVING DOCTORS, that push this nonsense?? SO WE THE PEOPLE KNOW WHat places to boycott the hell out of?
– 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,”
Why would a hospital waste a heart on someone who will not follow the doctors instructions and will die after the transplant?
Why did this guy to go the doctor,
if he is not going to follow what the doctor says?
SO you have NO problem what so ever, with hospitals telling folks “Sorry you have been on the list so long and are NOW at the top. BUT since you can’t or won’t get the shot, which is not in anyway shape or form a vaccine, WE ARE kicking you off it.. Tough luck, hope you have your will filled out”…
What next. Telling a car accident victim “Sorry but you can’t get life saving surgery here, because someone ran into you, till you get these shots.. OH YOU are unconscious, we will just give them to you ANYWAY, and worry about consent later”..
The shocking refusal by Brigham and Woman’s Hospital to provide a desperately needed heart transplant to a COVID- unvaccinated, dying patient who had previously been promised a heart is an egregious violation of both the Hippocratic Oath and the patient’s basic human rights. Apparently, the command to do no harm is now merely a suggestion that can be ignored whenever a patient does not submit to the unconstitutional vaccine mandates our dictatorial government has issued.
ANd if as certain people feel, a hospital is fully OK TO DO THAT.. May they never be on the receiving end of a hospitals whim for whether they live or die!
