An Indiana family claims their 12-year-old daughter was denied a heart transplant due to being unvaccinated against Covid-19. The family, linked to vice president JD Vance, opposes vaccines on religious grounds. 12-year-old Adaline was born in China with two heart conditions. Her mother Janeed Deal is reportedly related by marriage to JD Vance’s half-siblings.
