New Zealand court rules against anti-vax parents of ill babyWELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A New Zealand court temporarily took away medical custody of a baby from his parents on Wednesday after they refused blood transfusions for him unless the blood came from donors who were unvaccinated against COVID-19.High Court Judge Ian Gault said he accepted the affidavits of health experts who said there have been millions of blood transfusions performed around the world since coronavirus vaccines were introduced, and the vaccines hadn’t caused any known harmful effects.The parents had said they had unvaccinated donors willing to give blood for their son’s operation, but health authorities argued that such directed donations should only occur in exceptional circumstances, such as for recipients with very rare blood types.China begins implementing relaxed anti-COVID-19 measuresWHO: COVID disruption resulted in 63,000 more malaria deathsEXPLAINER: China's relaxed 'zero-COVID' brings big changesChina's looser anti-COVID measures met with relief, cautionHealth authorities also said the unvaccinated donors wouldn’t necessarily give them access to all the blood products they might need during the boy’s surgery.The judge said the baby’s parents were loving and wanted the best for their son and accepted that he needed the surgery."
