A 6 month old baby is being denied a ❤️ transplant at Vanderbilt unless his parents vaccinate him. They’ve refused on religious & medical grounds. His heart is failing and his life CANNOT be lost because of the agenda clearly at play here. Parental rights matter. (THREAD)

I’ve been in contact with baby August’s Mom today. Here’s what she told me: Dr. David Bearl is the one who demanded they vaccinate baby August or else he wouldn’t receive the heart transplant he desperately needs. His heart is failing. Baby August needs our help now.

What happened to "Do no harm"? Isn’t that the first guiding principle of medical care? Not giving August a heart transplant is sentencing him to death. We can’t let that happen, not here in TN and not anywhere else. This medical tyranny needs to end NOW @VUMChealth!

August’s Mom wanted it to be clear that the rest of the Vanderbilt cardiology team has been great to them. She said Dr. Bearl used the phrase "I am mandating" when he made the demand for August to be vaccinated. Using a child’s life to coerce parents is beyond unacceptable!

If you have a media inquiry about baby August, DM me. I’m helping the family sift through it and manage all of the interest in his case. Please keep sharing his story until Vanderbilt gives August the okay to get a transplant without this tyrannical mandate. Thank you!

August is still in the same predicament waiting to see if @VUMCchildren will do the right thing and help him with a heart transplant. We’re looking for other options still and any serious tips should email [e-mail]
