high court New Zealand allowed doctors this Wednesday to operate “without further delay” on a four-month-old baby who suffers from heart problems despite his parents refusing blood transfusions from donors vaccinated against COVID-19.

The order, issued today, indicates that Justice is assuming partial custody of the child between this Wednesday and January 31, 2023 – for the purpose of referring the minor for surgery and providing him with post-operative care – and asking doctors to decide on blood transfusion required during surgery.
