Parents in New Zealand who refused to allow their baby to take a transfusion of blood if it contained the COVID-19 vaccine now find the state in possession of their child after worldwide coverage of the story.

As reported by the Guardian, the baby boy is now in guardianship of his surgeon and cardiologist “for the purpose of consenting to surgery to address the obstruction and all medical issues related to that surgery, including the administration of blood,” said Justice Ian Gault, the judge presiding over the case.
