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.
^^^ THIS. Bad people have been taking advantage of the well-intentioned citizens for years now and it's all coming to light. We donate $ to charities and causes with ZERO visibility into where it goes and how its used. Ditto for the blood drive. We're trying to do good but have NO IDEA where is goes. And recently we hear about those demonic types drinking blood for God's sake! No idea where our blood goes, but they do get our DNA for free.
