‘Tainted’ blood: Covid skeptics request blood transfusions from unvaccinated donors

Some who are skeptical of the Covid-19 vaccine have begun demanding transfusions only from the unvaccinated, an option blood centers insist is neither medically sound nor operationally feasible.

The nation’s roiling tensions over vaccination against Covid-19 have spilled into an unexpected arena: lifesaving blood transfusions.

With nearly 60% of the eligible US population fully vaccinated, most of the nation’s blood supply is now coming from donors who have been inoculated, experts said. That’s led some patients who are skeptical of the shots to demand transfusions only from the unvaccinated, an option blood centers insist is neither medically sound nor operationally feasible.

“We are definitely aware of patients who have refused blood products from vaccinated donors,” said Dr. Julie Katz Karp, who directs the blood bank and transfusion medicine program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia.

Emily Osment, an American Red Cross spokesperson, said her organization has fielded questions from clients worried that vaccinated blood would be “tainted,” capable of transmitting components from the Covid vaccines. Red Cross officials said they’ve had to reassure clients that a Covid vaccine, which is injected into muscle or the layer of skin below, doesn’t circulate in the blood.

“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, said in an email..................................

1. Tainted Love is going to need a parody song. N/t

[Initech]

28. Tainted blood whoaaaaaaaaaaoa... Tainted blood whoaaaaaaaaoa...

Call me Weird Al!

[hlthe2b]

2. No blood bank WOULD accomodate that (even if they could)... Malpractice.

[SallyHemmings]

3. DEMAND?

Triage them to the back of the line.


What the unholy F^cK?

[SergeStorms]

22. They'd better stockpile supplies....

of their own blood if they're going to be such snowflakes.

Freaking idiots.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. They are NOT Covid skeptics, we need to change the vocabulary. they are

TRUMP WORSHIPPERS and whether it was the vaccination, masks or deodorant, if the dumbest adult alive (rump) tells them something they will believe it until DEATH...

I wish the media would call them what they are! I am not talking to the OP I realize they are quoting.

[vanlassie]

5. Let's all dedicate our donations to: Vaccinated Only.

[riversedge]

30. umm.. now that is a thought to ponder.

[lame54]

6. Thought they weren't allowed to ask

[Elessar Zappa]

7. Go ahead and die, then.

Dumbasses.

[Raster]

8. For god's sakes...

... just let them fucking die.

Yeah, I said it. I am so tired of the stupid and uneducated controling the narative.

Let. Them. Die.

[Scrivener7]

14. Yep. I'm there with you. And this isn't malice. It's just that there is nothing we can do to stop

them, and we're tired of caring about their determined self-destruction.

They want to make these "demands"? They can wallow in their own idiocy and see it to its logical ending.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. It's like the gene pool is literally cleaning itself right now (nt)

[Jim__]

10. Yeah sure. Just take a seat on that bench and when we get blood that's labeled ...

... from the unvaccinated, we'll call you over.

[PortTack]

11. So die if you need a transfusion or bring your typed and cross matched family member with you

It’s no guarantee that a family member will match you, and Even at that one individual can only safely give one unit.

[Scrivener7]

12. Who gives a shit if they "demand" this? That's not how it works, and they are just looking for

attention. We shouldn't give it.

[onecaliberal]

13. How about no blood.

[canetoad]

15. So what are they gonna do

When the life saving blood turns out to contain vaccine? Have the doctors suck it all out again?

I've given blood since my 20s. In the city, I had a friend who was a nurse at the blood bank and she told me, without any details, what the usage of my blood donations was - I'm O neg.

10% to general use
20% to haemophilliacs
70% to babies with erythroblastosis - when the baby's rh reacts with the mother's.

I hope these fuckwits consider this.

[rurallib]

20. Just want to say thank you for your incredible generosity

[Ilsa]

36. O-neg here and CMV neg as well.

It was frequently reserved for NICUs, but supply is so low right now that it probably gets used right away.

Before cell savers, I had been called as late as the night to donate before an open-heart surgery, when dozens of pints were needed.

[canetoad]

38. Wow

That's really above and beyond. Well done Ilsa

[Mr.Bill]

16. After reading the article about how 90% of the blood

on hand contains antibodies, I wonder if a transfusion would work as a treatment for someone who has already contracted the virus?

I'm not a medical expert, and I'm sure if that would work, they would be doing it already. So my real question, I guess, is why wouldn't it work? Anybody know?

[Tanuki]

25. That was the thinking behind the convalescent plasma clinical trials

early in the pandemic, but it did not turn out to be helpful.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/6901125002

"The federal government discontinued a research trial of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 saying the blood product from recovered patients doesn't prevent at-risk people visiting emergency rooms from getting sicker.
...
"We do not see any sign that convalescent plasma had a benefit" in ER patients at risk for more serious disease, said Dr. Simone Glynn, program scientist for the trial.

Plasma from recovered patients contains antibodies or proteins generated by the immune system to fight disease. In some conditions, such as the flu, antibodies from a recovered patient are widely believed to help someone who has been infected.

For COVID-19, convalescent plasma "just doesn't look like it's providing any significant impact on things that count: mortality and hospitalization," said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease specialist at ProHEALTH Care in New York."...(more at link)

[Mr.Bill]

26. Thanks. Like I said,

I'm sure I wasn't the first one to think about this.

[Bleacher Creature]

17. They're not "skeptics," they're insane. NT

[rurallib]

18. Considering that the kind of people who donate blood

are probably not selfish since giving blood is a very generous act I would guess that most of the people who donate are probably vaccinated also.

So good luck finding that rare unvaccinated pint of blood.

Next thing you know someone will be selling unvaxxed pints on the dark net. for $2000 a throw. Then that purchaser must figure out a way to get it in the body.

[captain queeg]

19. Tell them the only unvaccinated blood is from black donors and see their reaction

Just to yank their fucking chain. I don’t think blood banks keep any info beyond blood type.

[louslobbs]

21. So exactly how would that work?

Like a Starbucks order? I’ll have a non vaccinated, extra white, non black, 1/2 nazi, non Muslim, triple traitor, trump cult, authoritarian blood transfusion please? Like that?

[Vinca]

23. Taking stupid to a whole new level.

[kskiska]

24. Why do these people even go to a doctor or hospital

when they get sick if they don't believe in science?

[roamer65]

27. Then let them die.

Everyone of these morons that croaks means less CO2 emissions.

[Azathoth]

29. The quicker these peope die, the better

As someone taking care of high-risk seniors, I've had all I can take of these delusional sociopaths dragging this pandemic on.

[irisblue]

31. Want to bet

some trumpers are demanding white non vaxxed blood.
(I type this w/o any first hand knowledge of such)

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Then Let Them Die!

I have no patience remaining.

[LiberatedUSA]

34. Keep the blood, give them the taint. N/t

[TheBlackAdder]

35. If the gubmint is tracking people with microchips, ANY visit to a hospital would get you one.

.

These idiots don't think it through.

But that would mean millions of people are covering this up, without one iota of proof leaking out.

You know, sorta like them Chemtrails and how millions would be in on the fix.

.

[Ilsa]

37. Yes, I'm going to force my trackable, magnetized blood on

Morons who would rather bleed out.
