A Boston hospital removed a patient from a heart transplant waiting list because he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccines.

“My son has gone to the edge of death to stick to his guns,” David Ferguson, father of the patient, told CBS Boston on Monday. “His heart has now deteriorated so much to the point where it won’t work.”
