    Even this shortened version does not say that they wont help unvaccinated kids, only that for air-travel and large gatherings they should be vaccinated. They also say they will not ask for proof vaccinations.

    So, yea, the claim "they won’t help terminally ill children unless they are vaccinated" is fake news.

    The longer version explains the vaccine request for air-travel wishes is to protect the kids in such travel, and its for the obvious reasons: the wish-kids are sick, and at a weakened state, and getting Covid in an airplane could be fatal. The foundation does not want their blood on their hands.

    Full version.



    YOU don't give a rats ass, but a parent of a kid with 6 months to live would be pretty upset if the kid died of Covid in 1 month. It should be obvious, but it seems a carefully composed propaganda line can be used to get people like you to think Make-A-Wish foundation are the bad guys.

    He doesn't make it the most clear, but his message seems to imply in the video that the wishes will not be granted if those wishes will require the unvaccinated child and accompanying family to air travel.

    If he had merely meant the foundation would not pay for the airline tickets, he would have just said that.

    More than 77 percent of all wishes involve travel.

    https://wish.org/airline-miles-form

    This plus large gatherings leave a tiny percentage of kids who will not require vaccinations.

    My friend, you and your buddies are focusing on the wrong thing, which OP correctly identifies.

    Control.

    And you and your buddies are focusing on.......getting something on other people's dime, while insisting on dictating the terms and when you dont get your way, you slander the people who try to help your kid.

    Nasty mindset.

    I have played at many golf tournaments which fund Make A Wish foundation, and I'll be happy to play in many more. People like you trying to paint them as bad guys sets a new low even in today's climate.

    Spare me your righteous indignation, I can easily dish as much and more at you and yours, but chose not to.

    It appears, Make a Wish Foundation discriminates between fully vaccinated kids and those who are not. Those fully vaccinated get to air travel and attend large gatherings while those who are not fully vaccinated, do not.

    To put another way, if you're not fully vaccinated, get to the end of the line.

    .

    I hope draconian organizations who force the vaccine can and will be sued for every side effort of the vaccine.

    they still have to worry about being sued, you can't just put people at risk because they are terminally ill

    People like you see "discrimination", "unfairness", "racism" etc everything, even in non-profit foundation for sick kids desire for their patients to be safe from Covid (and them be safe from law-suits).

    Do you cry discrimination when an amusement park denies smaller kids a ride in the roller coaster? Of course you do. Try to understand what motivated people / corporations to come up with safety requirements. It would make you look a whole lot smarter.

    No one is forcing anyone to use their free service. It up the parents. If they want to make a political statement and deny their kid the last wish, then they can do so and even whine about it in the media. Of course none of the parents are whining about it, its the RW media doing all the whining, which seems to be all they ever do these days.

    Of course if anyone would be sued, it would be the foundation when a sick kid contracted Covid on a trip provided by them because they failed to take the precautions.

    My friend, I do not answer silly questions, like "Do you cry discrimination when an amusement park denies smaller kids a ride in the roller coaster?"

    You don't answer it because it would reveal the silliness of your previous comment about Make A Wish foundation "discriminating" when their safety measure is pure common sense, just like the safety requirements at amusement parks.

    Using words like 'discrimination', 'bigotry', 'racism' at every turn like you did is a weak tactic.

    Those words are used by me exclusively sarcastically, when making fun of Democrats and their good intentions.

    Look. Contrary to what you may think about me, I do not have a slightest doubt about Make a Wish Foundation's honorable intentions. I know how much good they do. It is just that like most always with Democrats, their good intentions backfire.

    Ok, so they are not discriminating. Good.

    Two things:

    1. It has nothing to do with Democrats. Not everything in life is D vs R
    2. Nothing has backfired. The foundation declared they are back in business again (a good thing), and their comment about vaccines made the usual suspects heads explode. They were offended to a point where they put in their best effort to make the foundation look like the bad guys.

    Of course they're discriminating, just not intentionally. Is what I've said.

    And yes, by generating questions and furor, the policy backfired.

    The Make A Wish foundation policy? Again, what does it have to do with Democrats?

    Generating questions and furor is the sole purpose if this kind of propaganda, and it seems to work like charm based on the comments here and elsewhere. Many Americans are easily manipulated.

    Since you went back to calling it "discrimination", I don't think you were honest when you said you were being sarcastic the first time you used it.

    There are three vaccines in Russia.
    1. "Sputnik V" from the Research Center named after Gamaleya
    2. "KoviVak", developed by the Chumakov Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
    3. "EpiVacKorona", developed by the State Research Center "Vector".
    But all of them have not passed the full test cycle. As well as other vaccines.
    Once again - not a single vaccine in the world has gone through a full test cycle.
    That is, a human trial is underway. In fact, this is a violation of all world conventions banning compulsory human testing of medicinal products based on genetic engineering.
    In fact, those who force vaccinations are war criminals who violated the postulates of the Nuremberg Tribunal. The current propagandists vaccination are the same as the fascist Dr. Mengele.

    You can also tell us that concentration camps are a blessing.
    Read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" is practically what is happening in the United States today.

    You're going to trash them for not granting wishes where the wish would put others at risk according to the government?
