Doctors said that using blood donated from outside the normal channels was “impractical” for the situation and that doing the surgery without donated blood was “not an available option.”With time running out and the parents still objecting, Judge Ian Gault ruled that it was “in Baby W’s best interests” for the court to take custody of him temporarily until the surgery could be completed.Reeves and Savage later told health-care workers at Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland that they believed spike proteins in the blood of people who had received mRNA vaccines — such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines — were “causing unexpected deaths relating to transfusions.”A meeting between Baby W’s parents and doctors in November was “hijacked by the parents’ support person” who spewed “her theory about conspiracies,” according to the order.In the filing, Gault wrote that Sue Grey, a representative for the parents, sent the court medical opinions from doctors in Texas and Hawaii, who evaluated Baby W “closely” via Zoom video call and argued that “this is not an urgent situation” and that the surgery should be delayed by a week to “further evaluate other options.”“It was previously common ground that Baby W needed surgery,” but now the parents were objecting to the surgery and preparations, not just the use of blood transfusions, Gault wrote.Reeves and Savage appeared Wednesday on Infowars, the podcast hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who filed for bankruptcy Friday after he was held liable for lies he spread about the 2012 mass killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.“It’s so much bigger than us.She told CNN in a statement before Gault’s filing Thursday that after “many hours” of consideration, Reeves and Savage had concluded that there was “no time to appeal,” adding that “the priority for the family is to enjoy a peaceful time with their baby until the operation, and to support him through the operation.”Nikki Turner, the medical director of the Immunization Advisory Center at the University of Auckland, said in an affidavit filed in the case that any components of the vaccine were unlikely to be present in donated blood and that, regardless, they would not be harmful."
