b'David Ferguson Jr. was denied a heart transplant after declining to take the COVID-19 vaccine, prompting protestors to rally in support.

But many believe that denying Ferguson\\u2019s transplant violates medical ethics and reduces his life to a pawn in a political battle between anti-vaxxers and medical experts.
