I think non covid vaccinated people would be doing a service even if they get paid.
I am uncertain about how the covid shots affect the blood. I am not saying I am sure they damage it but there seems to be good evidence that they can provoke clotting and cardio problems in some so I am dubious about blood donations from those who have had the shot/s.
Unfortunately, you are out of luck if you need blood.
I just went through this with my aunt. She is unvaxxed and needed blood due to a fall a week ago. She’s on a blood thinner. She made a big fuss about how she didn’t want blood from vaxxed people and I’m like, “Duh, they don’t screen the blood of the vaxxed out. Why are you bothering to argue with doctor on this?”
I told her that if were ever in a situation where I might die without blood, I’ll have to take my chances with the blood because my chances are better with a transfusion than without. She was at a hospital in an area with a large Amish and Mennonite population, so I kind of lied and told her they donate blood at high rates. I really don’t know what their donation rates are, but I do know they don’t have an issue with getting transfusions and I think I have seen blood drive signs outside Mennonite churches.
I do wonder what they landscape will look like if the truth comes out about the vaxxes. Will the medical community be compelled to transfuse nonvaxxed to nonvaxxed?
I’d like to donate blood, but the only time I did it was a complete disaster. They couldn’t get the needle out. It took five people to try and I was left with a huge hematoma. The doctor estimated I lost a pint through that.
I’m a small person. I barely made the weigh cut off. I guess my veins are too small for the needle.
