Infrequent blood donor here. Universal donor O-.
Just been offered money to donate my blood. Very unusual and very strange. Normally just a reminder and a cookie. Received notice asking me to donate along with a raffle for $10,000 from local blood bank.
Been recently receiving more reminders about blood donation.
This is exactly why I have decided to no longer donate blood.
Think about it -- if they can force you to put something in your body, they can force you to take something out of your body. I do not want my name in anyone's database with my blood type. In the near term, it's highly possible that they will be in search of unvaccinated blood.
In reality I might already be in such a database, but why help them along?
