The Markíza television channel in Slovakia reports that a four-year-old Romani boy has died after an asthma attack in Jarovnice u Sabinova, Slovakia. Prior to the attack, a local doctor refused to treat him because his mother was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
The child, named Peter, had long been under treatment for asthma and had been hospitalized for it more than once. Two days before he died he was taken to the local pediatrician by his grandmother, who has been immunized.
The physician refused to allow the grandmother into the consulting room and examined Peter without her being present. Drugs were prescribed for the boy, but he did not improve.
Peter's mother returned to the doctor with him two days later. The pediatrician refused to treat Peter because his mother was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
