in principle I agree with you, but the truth is the old system was based on people self-identifying as gay. Nothing really changed here, those who want to give will just not have to lie now.
THEY WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN!! PANIC!! Gays should NOT be giving BLOOD! STUPID!
“The earlier one-year waiting period was attacked as discriminatory and outdated when the FDA introduced it in 2015 to replace a lifetime prohibition on blood donation by gay and bisexual men.”
That decision was made in 2015 back when Obama was in the White House. We cannot turn back the clock and change the consequences of actions taken five years ago.
Doesn’t answer your question, but our Blood Bank locally has warned repeatedly that there is a growing blood shortage because they can’t get people to come in and donate blood any more.
Liberals behave like a burglar who gains access to a secure building by waiting for someone to exit and conveniently holding the door open for them and helping with their groceries.
And... HIV infection rates now go beyond the gay community.
I’m not advocating but I think the reason is that they want to be able to harvest plasma from people who have the COVID antibody. Plus, by being on house arrest, people can’t donate blood as normal but car crashes and a surgeries still happen.
Same FDA that keeps “adjusting” its apocalyptic Wu Fly virus model down - and down again - and down again.
Notwithstanding the many brilliant MDs and PhDs contained with, as a gubmit bureaucracy, it is by design just plain inefficient and prone to about a 50% success rate at best.
Tell you what, FDA, all that blood will be kept in a special place for use by YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYEES ONLY. Put that into your suggestions and smoke it.
3 months? Is that how long it takes for AIDS to go away? /s
America’s vast, permanent, well-funded government bureaucracy is filled with ideologues, with their preferred political and policy agendas.
Because the people and structures are permanent, the agendas are permanent.
Its why we should not have term limits for politicians, but must absolutely have term-limits for unelected bureaucrats and especially government programs.
Maybe they thould athk the reporterth and produthers in the media?
Because the FDA is filled with Lefty Trump h8ters?
So they can kill more people?
Because the PTB want us dead, that’s why.
First we need to understand, the term blood “donor” is really a misnomer. Blood banks usually pay a nominal sum.
Gay & bisexuals— and promiscuous straights, and intravenous drug users as well— are more likely to be carriers not only of HIV, but also hepatitis, c-diff, & a whole bunch of scary-ass pathogens.
These hedonists also tend to be concentrated among the homeless and lower socio-economic strata who regularly need the quick cash from selling blood or plasma.
Hence, refusing them their “right” to earn this cash “discriminates” against these marginalized minority groups.
Shame on us.
Because people working there either support normalizing f@ggotry, or because they are being pressured by powerful people who support normalizing f@ggotry.
The minuscule and most disease ridden 1.8% of the population that is homosexual will not greatly impact this, even if every single sick disease infested pervert decides to donate blood.
This is completely political, and nothing else. This is about normalizing f@ggotry.
Do away with some useless study like the mating habits of some endangered slug and start paying people $20 to $40 per donation and the shortage would end overnight. Or have that fee paid by insurance companies that i have no doubt charge a patient more than $20-$40 per bag of blood during surgery and again, problem solved. Even institute a policy that to donate you have to have a cert once per year of a clean blood test result signed by a doctor. The meth heads and other junkies that show up looking like death warmed over, kick them out and put up a sign that we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. As much money that is pissed down the drain by the federal and state governments, spending it on something as critical as blood seems like a far better idea of where to put funds.
It will have no measurable effect on the availability of blood as these are a tiny percentage of the population.
The reason is the same as every other time this has been pressed: normalizing faggotry.
Homosexual acts should have always remained illegal everywhere.
Even if lax enforced they protected us from these perverts and their champions forcing them on society.
