HOLY SH*T! American Red Cross Rejecting Vaccinated Blood?
2024-02-21


[Substack] "Have you had the COVID JABS?? ...As it turns out...if you have, they want to know if you’ve had one in the 12 months...and if you have...they don’t want your blood."

It would appear the Red Cross is no longer following the science:

From 2022 - The American Red Cross: "We Don’t Label Blood Products As Containing Vaccinated or Unvaccinated Blood As the COVID-19 Vaccine Does Not Enter the Bloodstream"

#21  My son and I are donating tonight. I refused vaccination because my blood is sometimes used for premmies. I was told that vaxed blood would be good for premmies. I didn’t trust them.

#20  Surprised our resident vaxionee(r) hasn’t put his two cents in.

#19  That it went on past June is too long.

Mad as hell at what they made you all do.

#18  I am 99% sure I had COVID-19 in 12/2019 after exposure to multiple folks returning from China and other parts of Asia. I got the 2 Moderna vaccines as soon as possible after reading the now redacted Indian article on the presence of nucleic acid chains in Covid-19 similar to those in HIV messenger RNA. I trust the Chinese less than our government, and at that stage I will choose to believe that our efforts might have been imperfect but at least well-meaning. It eventually was required in one of my lines of work, but I have had no adverse reactions. Interestingly that DOD associated "hobby" did not push the subsequent vaccinations. I have also been taking 5000 IUs of vitamin D3 since 2007, which may modulate immune responses.

#17  No JAB here. I was in to see my Doctor a few weeks ago and he told me he is not pushing it after I mentioned I'm not taking it. (kaiser)

#16  ^ But it has fizzled much faster than they had hoped. And they sorta shot their wad. Anything short of a bubonic plague level threat is not going to garner anywhere near the sheeplike compliance.

#15  Most extensive propaganda control grab in human history. And it hasn't ended.

#14  I think #12 is spot on.
We still don't know the long term effects of C19 or the vaccinations.

#13  Same identical story as Silentbrick's #10. Got the flu shot in October, but Kaiser isn't even pushing Covid shots any more

#12  It's a fact that without the heavy hand of the gummint, many, many fewer people would have gotten it.

#11  Mom was in hospice - and jab was required for visits. Got the JnJ as lesser of the evils. Many other family members held out against the jab, understandably. Blackmail pretty much.

#10  Sadly, I had to get it to keep my job at the time. So I got the first two original Moderna ones and have ignored everything since. Haven't noticed issues so far but we'll see.

#9  i may be stupid but i dont take a shot that gives me a small dose of the thing it supposedly prevents. as a youth i got the smallpox and polio shots and in the military i got a whole bunch of i dont know what. i am 87 in fairly good health and was a sickly child.

#8  I am living with POTS from the pfe shot.

#7  Only the last 3 pushed the poison.

#6  I applaud everyone who held out. At the time I subjected myself it looked like a vax card was going to be required to do pretty much anything outside your house. That was my calculus at the time.

Again, I feel very lucky, all considered.

#5  I waited, never be a beta tester, and then asked for the J&J as it was developed like other flu vaccines.

#4  Didn’t get jab. No regrets.
Posted by: Ebbuger Whuque4103   2024-02-21 08:22  

#3  I still feel like I sort of won the lottery by getting the J&J jab. I didn't know to ask for it, it was luck of the draw for me.

#2  There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with a non-replicating inactivated or RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.

Red Cross link - Can I donate after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine?

#1  Just another category of matchup just like classical blood type. Vax to Vax and Unvax to Unvax.
