Health researchers are sounding the alarm after noticing more people refusing life-saving blood transfusions because they come from vaccinated donors.
In a study out of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 15 patients or families of patients who needed blood transfusions rejected them because they requested blood from donors who were not vaccinated.
The majority of patients were children or teenagers.
The refusal led one patient to go into shock, another to develop anemia and others to have their surgeries delayed.
Now, doctors involved say they fear more Americans, spurred by vaccine-suspicious health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, will follow.
Over a two-year period, the researchers found requests for non-anonymous - meaning patients can choose specific donors for their transfusion - had increased because the patients specifically wanted blood from unvaccinated individuals.
The patients had told doctors they wanted unvaccinated blood because they believed it was safer, but their exact safety concerns are unclear.
Researchers noted that while the total number of these donations was small, the requests caused delayed care and could have contributed to complications of not receiving a timely blood transfusion, which can include organ failure, stroke and death.
Some anti-vaxxers also believe receiving blood from a vaccinated donor will cause them to suffer the serious but extremely rare side effects associated with the shot, such as a kind of heart inflammation called myocarditis.
The misinformation has come as RFK Jr has expressed doubts about the safety of Covid vaccines and referred to the shot as 'the deadliest vaccine ever made.'
However, there is no evidence that being vaccinated against Covid or any other vaccine-preventable illness alters the blood in any significant manner. Blood centers also do not track the vaccination status of donors.

“doctors involved say they fear more Americans, spurred by vaccine-suspicious health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, will follow.”
Refusal of vaccine-contaminated blood transfusions was going on long before RFK had his position.
It was happening under Biden.
I’d be happy to donate my no-vax blood, but there’s Eliquis in it 24/7 and I’ve been told they won’t take it.
This has less than zero to do with RFK Jr. Us purebloods have discussed this exact scenario for years. But leftists will blame everyone EXCEPT themselves (and especially conservatives) for the eroded trust in anything medical these days. I know the last place I ever want to be is in a hospital. They cannot be trusted at all. Covid insanity did that
Very True. I agree cpmpletely. I should be able to sell a kidney for a million dollars.
Perhaps we need a social platform in which to advertise.
The Chinese harvest them from criminals and sell them in the West for much more.
when i needed a donor liver and kideny, that last thing i care about is vax.
i got vax’d , i smoke weed, and i’m retired with money, what more can i ask for?
oh yes, a world without ccp.
i’m going to go buy a 9mm PCC today, just because i’m an american
"Discouraged" by the very entities that threw their collective credibility in the sewer with mask mandates, anti-social mandates, and worst of all mRNA injection mandates.
T.B. Yoits wrote: “Yeah, they’re not “anti-vaccine”. They got all their vaccines. They refused to get an experimental injection that utilizes a modified DNA strand.”
Anyone who believes the fully and completely COVID vaccines are experimental or who believes the vaccines modify your DNA is an anti-vaxxer.
Anyone who who uses Mengele and Goebbels to justify their anti-vaccine positions are using the same playbook democrats use when they call Trump and MAGA Nazis.
Calling for Nuremburg 2.0 is the same playbook democrats are using to call for prosecution of Trump and his allies.
I did not get the vax but did get a pint of blood after heart surgery. I was in no shape to decline.
They screen for HIV now, but in the early days they made horrible mistakes , following the politically correct vision of the leftist medical plutocrats.
A few million dollar law suits smartened them up. But for that we all would be getting HIV from blood banks.
I figure soon I will be able to sell my blood at the going price of gold.

That is what they told my wife when she had her breast cancer surgery. She specifically asked for blood from people who had not taken the Covid shot. We didn’t. And they told her they had no way of knowing what donors had or had not had the vaccine.
I donate blood regularly. They call me the day I can do it because I don’t have vaccinated blood. The local lady is very open about it.
Back in the day, A.J. Foyt would come sit on my boat on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon as his home was nearby. We had several mutual friends. A.J. got in a bad accident and needed blood. He flew several of my friends (and his) to Indiana so that they could give blood. His fear back then being AIDS.
I guess Norman Rockwell was more focused on other details.
That does seem like something I would pick up on in a movie or something.
Usually you donate for yourself or someone else within a few weeks of a scheduled procedure. Whole blood will be good only for 6 or 7 weeks of storage. I’m not a phlebotomist.
“A 9mm PCC”
Ammo is Really cheap,
Got some 9 yesterday.
Nuremberg 2.0
.
Suggests vindication of MAGA.
Zackly. The donor is the one maintaining the organs. Maybe they aren’t the best at maintenance. But if the organs can still be used, they did it well enough.
They are experimental, by the manufacturers' own claims. THEY claimed the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) because it is experimental. If it was "full and complete", they wouldn't need the EUA.
