Why Government should never be allowed to control your Health care

Hospitals in Germany, UK, and Israel refuse life saving transplant to 3 year old because his parents had not been vaccinated.

Politico EU reports that a 3-year-old Cypriot boy was denied a heart transplant by a hospital in Germany allegedly because his parents weren't "fully vaccinated".

And it wasn't just Germany. The boy was turned away by hospitals in the UK and Israel for the same reason. Finally, a Greek hospital was found to do the transplant, but the story is going viral anyway as the latest example of COVID restrictions run amok.

Remember what the lefties like to say: Government is just the set of things that we all agree to do together.

Why do you need an assault rifle?  Because some governmental flunky might want to tell you that your kid is going to die because you committed crimethink.

To clarify some important information, the parents chose to get vaccinated after the first refusal, but the definition of "fully vaccinated" for the purposes of policy included a six week waiting period.

On the other hand, per Politico, the parents knew in advance about the vaccine requirement, and had initially refused.

Now, it isn't actually clear that the problem lays with the hospitals; Germany, Israel, and the UK have vaccine requirements for entry, so, while it is unclear when the story took place, it's entirely plausible the problem had nothing to do with the hospitals, and everything to do with being able to legally enter the country. The parents are citizens of Russia, not Cyprus, which probably legally complicated entry (as it would mean they aren't EU residents, and would likely require a visa, because Cyprus is not a member of the Schengen Zone). Greece has no such requirement, and it is likely this is the entirety of the story.

I can't find any more direct journalistic sources of information, and all trails seem to lead back to Politico, but Politico seems to be a reasonably reliable source of information and generally leans left, so I'd guess the story is more or less accurate.

They're utterly evil.

This is what you get with "The Great Reset" and "Build Back Better" ... a fascist collusion between government oppressive policies and private or semi-private entities (the hospitals).

If medical entities and medical personnel refuse to provide normal medical treatment if you refuse to submit to an experimental medical procedure, they should be hunted down and eliminated. Because they are useless and inhuman, just like concentration camp guards.

See Orphan's comment. They knew about the vaccination requirements, but were not vaccinated. More: they were offered the option of having some other (vaccinated) adult accompany the child. They refused that option as well. This is totally on the parents.
