The following is an excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction.
Parents in New Zealand temporarily lost medical custody of their four-month-old son when the Auckland High Court granted temporary medical custody to treating pediatricians after Health New Zealand, which manages the countryโs health service and hospitals, took the parents to court seeking guardianship.
The parents had refused an operation requiring a blood transfusion for their baby using blood from the New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) because the blood supply would include blood from donors who had received Covid-19 shots.
Government health officials and treating pediatricians claimed that the boy has pulmonary valve stenosis, which involves narrowing of the valve between the lower right heart chamber and the lung arteries, and he is in need of immediate surgery.
The parents expressed grave concerns about using blood from donors who had received the Covid shots and said they had more than 20 unvaccinated people who agreed to donate blood to their son for the operation.
However, the hospital where the operation would be performed insisted on using donor blood provided by NZBS, which does not separate blood taken from vaccinated and unvaccinated donors.
High Probability Blood Transfusions in New Zealand Contain Blood from Vaccinated Donors
The baby would very likely receive blood from a vaccinated donor as the Covid vaccination rate in New Zealand is very high.
About 90 percent of all eligible persons over the age of 12 living in New Zealand have gotten two Covid shots and 70 percent of them have also received a booster dose.
The father clarified the familyโs positionโฆ
We donโt want blood that is tainted by vaccination. Thatโs the end of the dealโwe are fine with anything else these doctors want to do.
NZBS officials argued that no Covid shot ingredients remain in the blood because the pharmaceutical product is โbroken downโ when it is introduced to the bloodstream, and it is filtered prior to donation.
Despite this claim, NZBS has a 28-day holding period in place after vaccination with certain Covid shots.
Pediatricians Given Temporary Medical Custody of Baby
Judge Gault ruled against the parents and gave temporary medical custody to the babyโs pediatric surgeon and cardiologist in a courtroom packed with interested parties who understood that the ruling will have far-reaching consequences.
In a 23-page decision, Judge Gault acknowledged that the parents wanted what was best for their child and had real concerns about the risk to their baby from receiving blood from vaccinated donors, but he concluded that the parentsโ desire to establish a separate blood bank with only unvaccinated blood was not practicable and that having the surgery immediately with a blood transfusion using donor blood from NZBS was in the babyโs best interest.
The doctors will maintain medical custody of the infant until after the surgery is complete or until the end of January, whichever occurs first.
The doctors were appointed to act as the babyโs legal representative for the purpose of consenting to surgery, while the parents were allowed to retain custody and represent their child for all other purposes.
The doctors acknowledged that as long as it did not interfere with what they considered to be in the babyโs best interest, they would take the parentโs wishes into consideration.
The high court opinion highlighted the fact that more patients requiring blood transfusions are requesting blood from donors who have not gotten Covid shots.
The NZBS has reported that there has been a โsignificant increase in potential blood recipients asking for blood from unvaccinated donors or asking about directed donation.
Similar trends have been noted in other countries.

"The parents expressed grave concerns about using blood from donors who had received the Covid shots" - what specific concerns, I'd like to think for myself if these are "grave."
"Despite this claim, NZBS has a 28-day holding period in place after vaccination with certain Covid shots." - which Covid shots have this holding period and which do not (specifically whether this applies to mRNA vaccines)? Is this practice unique to Covid vaccination or also to other vaccinations (and which ones/types)? I need more information to think for myself.
I don't understand why the hospital would refuse directed donations, assuming enough of the 20 people were eligible for donation and a suitable match for transfusion. The article doesn't mention the suitability of the 20 volunteers.
New Zealand = Nazi Germany with a really funny accent. :_)
