Letter #22, 2018: No flight to Rome[2018-04-26][Engleză]Wednesday, April 25, 2018"Thank you so much for keeping us informed our hearts are so heavy with the murderous injustice of this government . Nita in Alaska ." Email from a reader "Thank you for standing up for Alfie and his parents' rights." Email from a reader "Thank you for your posts. I am in tears with every update. So much heartache for no reason. And I am sad for our world. A major call for prayer and a return to truth, I believe. What more does Our Lord need to do to shake us awake?" Email from a reader "No sleep for three days, nothing but torture and deprivation. Our boy continues to fight with no suffering or indication of pain." Tom Evans, Alfie's 21-year-old father, in a Facebook post this evening ============ Tonight, Alfie yet lives... As I write, little Alfie is still alive and breathing, without his breathing machinery, which was detached Monday night at 9:17 p.m. more than 48 hours ago. ...but his parents cannot take him out of the hospital or fly him to Italy However, a three-judge panel this afternoon rejected his parents' appeal of a Tuesday High Court decision that denied their request to take Alfie to Italy, to the Bambino Gesu hospital, for a possibly different protocol of medical care... So Alfie is alive, but he is not free. And, this afternoon, his mother's lawyer said Alfie is now beginning to "struggle" to breathe. ============== And now, a blogger's chilling theory... This evening, a reader sent the following text to me, which comes from the website "Alfie'sArmyOfficial," the Facebook page of Alfie's supporters. I cannot confirm or deny the allegation it makes. But since we are now at "one minute before midnight," we are in an emergency situation which seems to require some action from some new actor, and the allegation made, if even partially true, may spark such action. It is in this hope that I post the following: "The reason the Government and hospital want this child to die is that if he reaches his second birthday, then he is entitled to compensation for his vaccine injury. Not only will this cost money, but it will make the reality of vaccine injury very, very public. The pharmaceutical/medical mafia is behind this case for sure. Why do you think the hospital wont let him transfer to another country? Why do you think they care so much? There is a big reason. Wake up and smell the agenda." Alfie was born on May 9, 2016. If he lives, he will turn 2 years old on May 9, 2018. That is 14 days away. ================================ Here are excerpts from a Guardian report on the latest events in this case: Alfie Evans: court rejects last-ditch appeal over treatment abroad (link) Court of appeal backs earlier decision preventing seriously ill boys parents from flying him to Italy By Ben Quinn Wed 25 Apr 2018 19.35 BST A court has rejected a last-ditch appeal by the parents of the seriously ill boy Alfie Evans against a ruling preventing them from flying him to Rome for treatment. Three court of appeal judges on Wednesday backed the decision made at the high court the previous day to deny the request after Alfie was granted Italian citizenship. The ruling followed a flurry of legal arguments by lawyers for Tom Evans and Kate James, the parents of the 23-month-old, who was said to be struggling on Wednesday after being taken off life support. They included the claim that medical staff involved in the boys treatment could face criminal charges in Italy if he dies. The parents, from Liverpool, were not at the court in London for the hearing. While arrangements had been made to allow Evans to listen via a phonelink, technical difficulties appear to have prevented him doing so. However, among those present was the chief of staff of the Italian embassy, who was said to be ready to give immediate instructions to a military grade air ambulance that had been put on standby to bring the boy to Italy at the request of the Pope. As the legal argument got under way on Wednesday, a man and woman believed to be from a German air ambulance crew were escorted from Alder Hey childrens hospital, where Alfie has been treated for the past 16 months. The high court ruled on Tuesday that Alfie may be allowed home from Alder Hey, where his life support has been withdrawn following a long legal fight, but barred the parents from taking their son to the hospital in Vatican City. [Note: actually the hospital is near Vatican City, not in Vatican City, but it is administered by the Vatican.] Mr Justice Hayden said that although Alfie had been a fighter since his life support had removed, his undiagnosed degenerative condition had almost entirely wiped out his brain matter and he stood no chance of recovery. On Wednesday, the appeal judges heard that Kate James was now represented by a different barrister, Jason Coppel QC, who said she had told him by telephone: Alfie is struggling and needs immediate intervention. Coppel advanced arguments on grounds that ranged from drawing on legislation governing EU freedom of movement through to suggesting that the childs new Italian citizenship was a change in circumstances that should be taken into account. An erroneous decision in the UK could open up the doctors who had been involved in treating Evans to criminal proceedings in Italy, he added. He also followed the lead of the barrister representing Alfies father in arguing that there had also been a change of circumstances in that the boy had been surpassing expectations of how he would cope after his breathing tube had been removed 48 hours earlier. Paul Diamond QC, for Tom Evans, argued that there had been a significant change of circumstances because Alfie was still breathing after life support treatment had stopped. He added that the parents were not seeking a miracle cure in Italy but wanted recognition that the context in which the palliative care that had previously been considered had now changed. Emphasising the Catholic faith of Alfies parents, he said that there was no consensus about what constituted dignity, adding: Where there is a lack of consensus the court should be mindful of that. Otherwise we are in a situation where the court is imposing values on people, which is improper. (...) Rejecting the arguments put forward by the legal counsel for the parents, Michael Mylonas QC, said that the doctors had never said that the childs death would be instantaneous after his ventilator had been removed. Contrary to what counsel for the parents suggested, there was no new medical evidence, he added. It has never been said to this family that Alfie would die immediately or before sundown. While it had been suggested that there was a change in circumstances that gave greater weight to allowing Alfie to be transported by air to Italy, Mylonas rejected this, telling the judges: Alfie stands exactly the same risk of brain damage in transit. He said the tragedy for the parents was that Alfie looked like a normal child. Lord Justice McFarlane said the family had the awful journey from getting to know their baby, only for signs to appear two or three months later that all was not well. The judges gave rulings on the appeals brought by the father first and then by Alfies mother, rejecting them on all grounds. ================ So that was that. The appeal to be allowed to take Alfie out of the hospital was rejected. ================= Sursa: www.InsideTheVatican.com Contor Accesări: 875, Ultimul acces: 2026-07-28 07:10:35
