	Description:		The parents of a four-month-old baby urgently needing a heart operation are refusing to allow blood from the blood bank to be used in their son's surgery because they believe its contaminated with Covid 19 vaccine. The Health Agency Te Whatu Ora is asking that the baby be placed under the guardianship of the court, and then for the court to appoint the doctors as agents of the court for medical care. The parents of a twin boy want to use the blood of unvaccinated people and say they've got enough approved donors to do it. The High Court will hear the case next week. Dr Nikki Turner is the medical director of the Immunisaton Advisory Centre. She talks to Lisa Owen.
