We had 2 donors standing by that were not vaccinated and got all kinds of excuses that it wouldn't be feasible. They finally said if in the rare case she needed blood, they could stop the bleeding long enough for us to donate blood. I find it hard to believe this is not a bigger issue. Catholic Hospital, Catholic Doctor, and the last thing out of his mouth was "The Pope says it's OK!" Any experts out there want to weigh in on the introduction of mRNA blood into an unvaccinated bloodstream?
She did not need the transfusion, but . . .
These issues were my concern through my whole pregnancy. I debated and debated whether to get Rhogam or not. I couldn't find anything that indicated there'd been any issues, wasn't much info that I could find period, but didn't even run across any rumors of issues. I guess we'll find out in the years to come 🫤. "Blessed by His Blood" did say that with a rhogam shot you couldn't be a donor tho, but only out of an abundance of caution; the person I spoke w wasn't aware of any issues.
