Top doctor: 'Gay' blood will taint U.S. supply

Should homosexual men – a group with the highest HIV-infection rates in the nation – be allowed to donate blood?

That’s the question the federal government is considering this week as it re-evaluates whether it should lift the 30-year ban on homosexual blood donation.

“CDC estimates that MSM represent approximated 4 percent of the male population in the United States, but male-to-male sex accounted for more than three-fourths (78 percent) of new HIV infections among men and nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of all new infections in 2010.”

The American Red Cross warns: “HIV antibodies may take a few weeks to develop after infection with the virus. If you were recently infected, you might have a negative test result, yet be able to infect the recipient of your donation. That is why you must not give blood if you are at risk of getting AIDS or other infectious diseases.”

Nonetheless, a petition a WhiteHouse.gov, created in November by students at the University of Michigan, claims the FDA policy is “discriminatory and inadequate.”

Dr. Jay Brooks, an expert in blood banking and transfusion at the University of Florida’s College of Medicine, told WND, “Yes, people need blood, but taking blood from men who’ve had sex from men since 1977 is not going to increase the blood supply substantially.”

If they allow fags to donate they will irreparably contaminate the supply and it will need to be destroyed. It WILL be destroyed - all of it.

It tainted the blood platelet supply and then the "Hepatitis" outbreak began.

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Why don't we import blood from Africa while we're at it?

If a person doesn’t take blood transfusions then they won’t have that possibility of contracting AIDS.

As long as it takes to detect HIV after exposure, to allow a segment of the population with the high HIV transmission rates to donate blood is pure insanity.

The stupidity of this once great nation never ceases to amaze me.

Can someone explain why they would even want to donate blood? Donating blood is not my favorite sport.

I can’t think of any better reason to live a healthy lifestyle and to be extremely careful on and off the job.

donating blood is good for you.

It is why using leeches (when done in moderation) actually worked.

Basically, the human body was designed to suffer occasion loss of blood.

This is not true for women who lose blood monthly anyway.

There’s nothing “gay” about deliberately risking others to their self abused poisoned blood.

How else will the ghouls who want to reduce the population by 80% realize their Utopian dreams except by poisoning people at the hospital with viral lingering death?
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that is the intended outcome.
