Parents Fight Health Authorities

In New Zealand, the parents of a four-month-old boy awaiting surgery for a heart condition, have refused blood from Covid vaccinated donors. The health authorities have applied for a limited authority to conduct the operation without the consent of the parents. 

The question I have: at what point do you lose bodily autonomy. We've had jab mandates which have coerced people into undergoing a medical procedure, the infamous 'no jab, no job'. With serious questions surrounding the Pfizer jab, the parents concerns seem reasonable. However, can their wishes be set aside and the authorities take over? Clearly, there are instances where this can and even should happen. I'm not convinced this is one of those instances.

In the interview the parents say their baby has severe pulmonary valve stenosis, and that he needs surgery “almost immediately”, but that they are “extremely concerned with the blood [the doctors] are going to use”.

“We don’t want blood that is tainted by vaccination,” the father said. “That’s the end of the deal – we are fine with anything else these doctors want to do.”
