17. Do they even care about their own children?

I read a story here a few days ago about a 12-year-old girl who was denied a heart transplant because her parents refused to allow her to be vaccinated for Covid. It would be a waste of a heart if the transplant went ahead and she contracted Covid and died. I really cannot imagine any parent who lives their child who would refuse a vaccine in favor of politics. Without the heart, their child will likely soon die. I understand that some people might have reactions to vaccines, but isn’t her life worth the risk of getting vaccinated so she can gave a functioning heart?
