North Carolina Teen Denied Life Saving Surgery Over COVID Vaccine | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A North Carolina teenager needs a new kidney to save her life, but her doctors say no COVID vaccine, no transplant. Chrissy and Lee Hicks, the mother and father of 14 year old Yulia Hicks, have 11 children, including Yulia and her brother who they adopted from Ukraine. Chrissy and Lee join us to talk about Yulia's health and why it is so important that she receive a new kidney. She is on dialysis right now, but that cannot be forever and it's not easy on her body. Lee explains why he decided not to give her the COVID vaccine and why that decision is keeping her from receiving a life saving surgery. In many countries, the COVID vaccine is not recommended for kids and teens. They discuss whether that came up at all in their conversations with Duke and also the potential adverse effects such as Myocarditis, which has been seen in a number of young people. Chrissy shares who they have been praying to, for his intercession. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
