I remember the “early years” of HIV when hemophiliacs were dying in droves due to transfusions from people with HIV - I knew two personally. This is absolutely reckless and people will die ..... for sodomites to insist on being able to do this as a “civil right” shows how intolerant they are of others rights (like a recipient’s right to keeping their own life).
If they do this, “gay” blood should only go to “gay” recipients and they can all have a gay old time with it.
For a pidly 4% increase in the blood supply, 100% of the blood supply will be suspected of containing HIV?
Hvg a relative die of Hep C after surgery before the rules changed in 1989, it’s another way to kill Americans. Communicable diseases can hide... The Hep C took 15 years to kill my family member. It was like cancer only slower.
Tihs doesn’t affect my desire to give blood. But it scares me to death that someday I’ll need blood.
AIDS is forever.
The EXEMPT import EV-D68 and Ebola and cannot
even say how many have either, where the infections are,
and continue their coverup of their MURDER of Americans.
Don't you just love their euphemisms? WTF is a "men's health advocate?" They certainly aren't advocating for my health.
In other news, cancer patients can now donate as well... /s
Hey, it would increase the blood supply. Why not?
Is it right we should stigmatize cancer patients?
Window dressing.
I suppose I will still be banned since I lived in Europe in the late 1990s. No sign of mad cow yet, but I do get angry from time to time.
Fudge packer blood.. Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm Barack Hussein Obama..
I don’t think the gay activists will be happy with the one-year rule. In fact they won’t be happy until the change the name of the Red Cross to the Rainbow Cross.
I am so glad I tested my wife and found we share the same blood type. Makes things much safer if the homos succeed in tainting the blood supply.
It’s not fair that gays and drug users should keep AIDS away from everyone else.
“This is a major victory for gay civil rights,”
There, in black and white, is proof that liberalism is a mental illness.
Didn’t the FDA panel just refuse to discuss lifting the ban earlier this month?
Yes, I see the HUGE MASSIVE LINE of gay men who have been rejected... At most, it'd be a couple extra pints a week (excluding the 'sudden rush' that will happen so that everyone can proudly proclaim they can finally donate blood.)
Next the homosexuals will challenge the 12-month restriction.
...
Of course they will. In practice, the ban hasn’t changed at all.
The folks still have their heads up their anal exit passageways, and won’t hear about this. The media will deliberately and intentionally hide it from the public.
So there will be no outcry. P.S. why do you think the news was released today?
Costs $150 a pint for blood.
Let’s see how much it goes up when the screening failures start.
