Parents who refused ‘vaccinated blood’ transfusion speak out after court places Baby W in careNew Zealand parents say they will focus on supporting their son, now in the guardianship of his doctors, through life-saving operation “We have concluded that the government cannot afford anything to go wrong for Baby W as the world is watching. He is likely to get the best possible care with the best safest blood.” WTF did they think was going to happen if 'the government' wasn't 'watching'? And fair enough. I mean SA data shows us there is a near doubling of younger people having heart issues since the mrna rollout. Forcing them on low risk healthy before they are even fully approved and when studies into safety are not complete is extremly dangerous.
