The 31-year-old father-of-two refuses to get the shot, but the hospital says it is following policy.

He said the Covid vaccine goes against his son's "basic principles, he doesn't believe in it".

      Mr Ferguson has been in hospital since last Thanksgiving weekend, 26 November 2021, and he suffers from a hereditary heart issue that causes his lungs to fill with blood and fluid, according to a GoFundMe.

      The organiser of the fundraiser said Mr Ferguson was concerned he could experience cardiac inflammation - a potential side effect from coronavirus vaccination that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasises is rare and temporary - and that it might prove dangerous given the weakness of his heart.

      Sounds like this was a careful decision made in the context of his existing heart condition. At the same time, the hospital is right to not go through with the procedure given the increased chance of exposure on the surgery floor.
