Anti-vaxxers are refusing blood transfusions from vaccinated donors because they believe they're 'tainted,' report says

------------

Some patients who are skeptical of the coronavirus jab are refusing life-saving blood transfusions from vaccinated donors, according to a report by The Daily Beast.

The American Red Cross said that their officials have had to field questions in recent weeks about whether vaccinated blood could be "tainted" with components from the COVID-19 injections, according to spokesperson Emily Osment.

Doctors have had to explain that it is safe to receive a blood donation from a vaccinated person.

"While the antibodies that are produced by the stimulated immune system in response to vaccination are found throughout the bloodstream, the actual vaccine components are not," Jessa Merrill, the Red Cross director of biomedical communications, told The Daily Beast.

Other blood centers across the country are reporting similar conversations with patients.

Dr. Louis Katz, chief medical officer for ImpactLife, a blood center in Iowa, said he's had to tell "a small handful" of patients that it is not possible to give them blood from unvaccinated donors.

1. Well....

Then just give them a banana bag with saline . See how that works.

[SharonAnn]

28. OK. The blood can be used to save others.

[PortTack]

2. Then I guess even more ppl are gonna die!

[womanofthehills]

3. Unvaxxed people on Twitter are now talking about asking

For big bucks for their blood. I think they are joking, but who knows.

[Runningdawg]

4. We don't have time for this crap. GTFO of our hospitals. You want care? Go to your vet.

[TreasonousBastard]

5. I'm not a doctor, but seems to me if you need blood, you have...

more to worry about than vax problems.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. Yeah, like abject stupidity (nt)

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Let 'em bleed to death.

[orleans]

7. omg

then don't get a blood transfusion!

yes, the vaccine is in the blood and it will probably make you magnetic

no, we strain all the vaccine out of donated blood with a colander that you would use as a spaghetti strainer

we don't know what type of effect the vaccinated blood will have on you but let us know if you start having dreams of demons and drowning, and you develop unusual twitching behaviors when you are sitting or speaking

[COL Mustard]

13. I'm Keeping All Of My Tracking Chips

Those unwashed unvaccinated people can’t have them!

JFC, this has to be about the stupidest thing I’ve heard about that population. Can they please just die so we can get on with normal life????

[Moostache]

8. Fuck 'em..bleed out then

No more use for tbese defectives.

[Moebym]

10. Nothing shocks me anymore. n/t

[mucifer]

11. I donated last week and The Red Cross didn't ask if I was vaxxed so I guess they won't know

who is vaxxed who donates. So the crazies will just have to deal with it .

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

35. They know. They can test with a magnet.

Just kidding. But, I don't know if Red Cross can access states' records of vaccinations.

[OhioChick]

12. Send the assholes back home then n/t

[Willto]

14. Fine

That's natural selection at work right there.

[Hortensis]

20. Most people with health problems have already reproduced.

[Aussie105]

15. Oh, the stupid! It hurts!

Stupid kills!

Who would have guessed? (Just about anyone not stupid, I'd say.)

But, you got to respect a patient's wishes. Even if it was borne of stupid, and leads to a stupid death.

[cstanleytech]

16. Reminds me of the MASH episode where a guy asked not to get any "colored" blood.

[GPV]

17. Great episode

[Vinca]

18. Good. They seem to have a death wish, so allow them to fulfill it.

[Native]

19. Works for me. More for the rest of us.

[tanyev]

21. OK.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Maybe they can get their transfusions from their pets or local

farm animals.

[alphafemale]

23. I guess they will bleed out because that is not a screening question

Sex partner questions. Yes

Tattoo questions. Yes

Foreign travel questions. Yes

COVID vaccine questions. No.

[marble falls]

24. The stupid is deeper than one would ever guess.

[area51]

25. Sounds like a variation on suicide by Covid. n/t

[BlueWavePsych]

26. Accelerated die off!

[niyad]

27. I have a scary addition to this. A woman I know, with multiple, serious medical

conditions, unvaxxed, told her primary care doctor that she had no intention of getting the vaccine, and told him that she would not take blood from a vaccinated person. According to her, said doctor gave her a thumbs up. I was appalled. Until that moment, I had thought that he was sane and competent, and he has a stellar reputation.

[Hugin]

29. I may see the problem here...

"According to her..."

She may be using the "Appeal to authority" fallacy. Where, since it's acknowledged this person is a covidiot, they drag down the creds of a real authority without documentation. I'd have a word with the doctor in question, before, I spread this any further.

Nevilledog had a great post about this yesterday: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215771460

[niyad]

30. I have no intention of spreading it further unless I can confirm with him. He also

supposedly believes in those cure-all med beds.

I read that OP.. most interesting.

[Hugin]

31. We see so much of all of those fallacies flying around with the monkeys.

I have this working theory that the meta of what we're seeing play out is the so-called age-of-reason was really starting to put a crimp in the snake oil market pushed by the charlatans personified by TFG. They had no recourse other than to turn up the volume and social media was the loudspeaker.

Granted, 15% of the stuff we see happening still can't be explained by even quantum physics. I always tell my friends that is where the magic lives. But, we do know a whole lot of things cold. These fakers are too lazy and stupid to come up with a new game. Burn fossil fuels and exploit nature are their only bread and butter. By golly, they're going to pound that one until there's nobody left to buy it.

Oh, I'm sure you're well aware of this Doctor's bona fides. I trust you'll keep a close eye on and sound the watch out bells when appropriate.

[Ohio Joe]

32. To be fair...

Pretty much every time someone says something batshit crazy to me, I give them a big smile and a thumbs up... Honestly, I just don't know what else to do

[obamanut2012]

33. Save the blood for folks who want it

[fescuerescue]

34. Usually when you are in the condition to need a blood transfusion

You are in no shape to investigate the origin of it.

You just take the doctor word. If you are even conscious.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Is there even a way to know if a certain bag of blood came from

a vaccinated person?

Where do these people get these crazy ideas?

Oh yeah, I forgot. FB and RW media.

[former9thward]

37. I don't believe any of this.

I donate blood on a regular basis and I have not been asked if I was vaccinated or not. A blood recipient is not going to know whether the person donating has had a vaccination or not.

[Renew Deal]

38. I'm going to give some blood right now

Get some more of the unvaccinated vaccinated through the side door.

[MoonRiver]

39. Go for it idiots! It's called thinning the herd.
