A gravely ill baby at the centre of a high-profile legal battle will receive the blood transfusion doctors called for. A High Court judge has ruled in favour of Health New Zealand, which asked the court to take guardianship of the six-month-old. The boy's parents refused to let doctors use blood from Covid-vaccinated donors during a heart surgery he desperately needs. Herald reporter George Block says two doctors at Starship Hospital will assume responsibility of the child. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
