Sick William had been selected for a life-saving shot, but then came corona. “When he turned five, we knew: it’s too late” | Interior

For a couple from Kortenberg, only one New Year’s wish counts this year: that their son William (5) may live. The boy’s story is one of a harrowing farm blunder. Born with a deadly disease, selected for unique gene therapy, but due to the corona break that came: eventually become too old to get his life-saving shot. “We just got pushed aside. The unlucky ones who lived on the wrong side of the ocean.”
