FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>House Republicans are urging President Donald Trump<\/a> to use his executive power to block hospitals from denying organ transplants for people not vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, who is leading the letter, said he was partially moved to act after Vice President JD Vance\u2019s 12-year-old relative was reportedly denied a heart transplant over her COVID-19 vaccination status.<\/p>\n

“Over the past week, it has come to light that multiple desperate Americans have been denied life-saving organ transplants due to their COVID-19 vaccination status,” the letter said. “This outrageous denial of care has affected some of our most vulnerable citizens \u2013 including a child from Indiana and a veteran from Ohio.”<\/p>\n

BLACK CAUCUS CHAIR ACCUSES TRUMP OF ‘PURGE’ OF ‘MINORITY’ FEDERAL WORKERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, he and Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind., introduced a bill to stop federal funds from going to any entity that denies someone treatment based on COVID-19 vaccination status.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“President Trump has done such a great job recently on executive orders,” Rulli told Fox News Digital in an interview. “And I am asking President Trump if he sees this, to please do an executive order\u2026 because you could save someone’s life today.”<\/p>\n

“The timing is everything. If we don’t get this done, people’s lives could be at risk.”<\/p>\n

The letter, signed by Rulli, Houchin and five other House Republicans, cited Trump\u2019s executive orders<\/a> ending COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools and reinstating military service members who were discharged for not getting the vaccine.<\/p>\n

“The same principles apply here. These reckless mandates, implemented under the Biden Administration, do more harm than good,” the letter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“With your leadership, our nation could return to a time when our brave and talented medical professionals can save lives freely, unburdened by bureaucratic barriers that endanger our most vulnerable citizens.”<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s mother, Jeneen Deal, told the Daily Mail<\/a> that giving her daughter the vaccine would violate the family\u2019s religious beliefs.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment on the lawmakers’ letter by Fox News Digital via Facebook Messenger, Deal beseeched them to include the influenza vaccine in their request to Trump.<\/p>\n

“Just removing the covid is just a start. The flu and covid are keeping her from being on the list,” Deal wrote.<\/p>\n

Vance said in comments to the Daily Mail that he would try to help.<\/p>\n

“I guess it\u2019s been circulating on social media, but I was made aware of a couple days ago, and we\u2019re trying to dig in and trying to help, obviously, as much as possible,” he said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for Trump and Vance for comment, but did not hear back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
