I have had a couple of friends attempt to donate blood recently who were turned away because the machines weren’t able to draw from them.
Tubing issues were blamed first.
Eventually, the staff told them they couldn’t donate because the flow was being blocked by clots.
In both arms.
These people are all under the age of 35, by the way. And were under the impression they had no health issues.
When it all happens, there will be a Hundred Million Americans who will suddenly have major health problems due to severer blood clots.
Regular blood clots can dissolve over time. Those fibrous "vax" clots do NOT dissolve... and only will get worse over time.
The Blood Centers better think of something quick... because I refuse to donate blood anymore. I'm 0-neg, unvaxxed and healthy... but won't donate because of their discrimination policies against the unvaxxed. I'm sure Millions of healthy Americans feel the same way.
I don’t trust anyone with a needle. Sorry, unless it’s for my immediate family, I’m not donating anymore.
agreed. how much of the blood gets used for nefarious purposes?
That and it's given for free and they turn around and charge outrageous amounts for it.
TBF, just because the blood is donated for free doesn't mean the rest of the process is free:
If we want to talk about the administrative overhead of the Red Cross consuming 25% of their donated budget, that's a real issue. But let's understand the service isn't free.
