This entire issue is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of.
I know why the left is pushing it...but good grief.
How can President Gay’bama make us all equal when we see obstructionism like this?
/s
Obama will soon fire the person who made this decision and replace them with a suitable sycophant.
Well, there goes that million dollar check I planned on sending them one day.
Because infecting people with HIV from blood transfusions was such a wonderful experience in the 80’s!
God help those who need surgery in the future...
I believe that the time from HIV infection to detectable levels in the blood can be as long as 3 months. Until a more sensitive method is devised that can detect levels immediately after infection, this ban should remain - OR - let them donate and mark the blood for homosexuals and other bleeding heart Leftists who think the ban should be removed.
The idea was insane.
There are a couple of “right above primary” reasons they support it.
First, to remove the stigma of MSM.
Second, to infect the general population, in order to “force them to care”.
It's not a ban on "gay" men donating blood. It's a ban on MSM - men who engage in a practice that is extremely likely to spread HIV donating blood. It's the only logical public health decision, not a question of prejudice. It does not ban all "gay" men from donating, just the 90% or so who engage in risky behaviors. Gay men who have chosen celibacy are permitted to donate.
Damn government agencies. Always meddling.
They make it sound like it’s only homosexuals excluded. The questionnaire eliminates a few groups. Whether people are honest about it is an entirely different matter. I know for certain a great many aren’t.
How long will this common sense last? And another reason not to donate to the overpaid Red Cross.
Thank God!
First person who gets HIV / AIDs from a blood transfusion is going to have major grounds for a lawsuit. I would name the the Director and leaders in the LGBt community who pushed this as parties to the lawsuit individually. The plaintiff may not live long enough to enjoy the settlement though.
Dangle double negatives got me... Misunderstood. Haven’t had my coffee yet...lol
Don’t the activists concede that even if we are able to detect the current round of plagues commonly carried by these people that their lifestyle practices make the incubators for the next round? Do we have to go through it again and lose more lives just to be politically correct?
