William McNeely survived a double lung transplant in 2019 and then COVID-19 in 2021.
William McNeely lives by a simple rule: never judge someone by how they look on the outside.
“So, when I look at someone I don t automatically think that they have it all together,” McNeely said.
That’s because the 57-year-old knows firsthand that appearances can be deceiving.
“You couldn t see that my lungs were destroyed, he said. And you can t see right now that I m on all these immunosuppressant drugs all the time.”
On average, McNeely takes about 30 pills every day, and they have an important job to do to help keep his body from rejecting his new lungs.

Charlotte Area Hospital Systems Prepare To Vaccinate Children Ages 12-15
May 11, 2021
CHARLOTTE, NC – Charlotte area health care providers are preparing to vaccinate children as young as 12 years old. The CDC is expected to recommend the Pfizer vaccine for people ages 12 to 15 Wednesday morning.
“We have known this was coming and so we’ve been putting plans in place this whole time,” said Dr. Lyn Nuse with Atrium Health.
Nuse says while the vaccines are new, the technology to create them has been around for more than a decade. She says parents should weigh the risks vs reward.
“The vaccine is actually safer for children to experience than the potential risk of getting the infection,” said Dr. Nuse.
