Gave blood today

[NQAS]

The phlebotomist reminded me that if I was vaccinated I didn’t gave to wear my mask. I told her they I would rather wear it. I then added, I assume all of you are vaccinated. Response? I’m not.

Well.

She was wearing a mask. So, okay. That’s the way things were before the vaccine. But allowing medical people to go unvaccinated seems wrong. Right or wrong, I tend to question the intelligence snd judgment of people who refuse the vaccine. In what other ways do they cut corners or ignore medical advice or requirements?

She was good at her job, but it bugged me. Should it?

1. morons in every population

but yeah...medical people

2. Yes, it should bug you.

She sounded like she was playing mind games with you. I had a phlebotomist that also wasn't vaccinated. I think they should be vaccinated and wearing masks. Fuck all these stupid ass people that have had minimal science courses and think they know it all.

3. Yes it should bug you. Especially with a medical person

[ret5hd]

4. "Bye."

The only response necessary.

[NQAS]

5. I thought about that

But I was there to give blood, which I thought was more important then my pissed offedness.

I’ll email the red cross, I think.

6. Did they do an antibody test on your blood?

I know some who gives regularly and had COVID - our local blood service does antibody tests

[brewens]

7. What would bug me is that she probably wasn't taking any other precautions to avoid COVID

when not working.

Good going donating. I started back up as soon as I was fully vaccinated.

8. I ask before I give. Fortunately everybody in the blood center I go to

have been vaccinated.

Did you ask her why? I would be so curious why a medical personnel would avoid vaccination
