Small Increase in Blood Donor Deferrals Found When MSM Use Individual Risk Assessment
The American Journal of Managed Care ^ | June 12, 2024 | Julia Bonavitacola

Posted on 01/19/2025 11:52:36 AM PST by fwdude

The FDA’s elimination of the 3-month deferral recommendation for men who have sex with men (MSM) when they wish to donate blood could lead to a slightly increased rate of deferrals for blood donations, according to a study published in Transfusion.

Cutting to the chase, the increase of deferrals (people who didn’t qualify to donate blood based on questionnaire answers) was estimated at 1.2%.

This is not the deferral of queers, but of the entire population.

Who knew that applying the high-risk scrutiny demanded in assessing sodomites to normal people would disqualify a lot of normal people?

MSM? Describes gay practices and the legacy media. Makes sense.

The last time I gave blood (1/6/2025) the questionnaire had a three-month time frame for a number of items such as tattoos.

They need to persuade more healthy people to donate rather than pander to a high risk group.

They need to let families/friends donate directly to each other.

I know … eliminates the need for many of their blood centers.

The tattoo issue is really shocking. It’s basically on the honor system for telling them when they got the tattoos and whether the tattoo business was certified with sterile new equipment for each customer. With the massive craze of increased tattoos in the last decade, nearly everyone has at least one or two new tattoos. It’s become a land mine for the blood donation industry.

But I was told that I’d be deferred for five years after successful prostate cancer surgery. Completely cured, but they still have to have a fresh PSA test from a doctors certification every time I donate.

That assumes blood type compatibility, which is not necessarily true even among relatives.

If in leftist media homosexuals may be called “men who have sex with men”, we should be allowed to spin the bottle the other way and call them “b&++ f&@*=%>s”

before “they” allow potentially tainted blood into the entire system, it seem to me, until there is evidence that there is no danger to the entire population, recipients of those blood donors should be restricted to the gay community.

Everyone remember that leftists and faggies were telling us that the blood supply would benefit from letting them donate. Seems that the exact opposite has happened, with severe blood shortages occurring and continuing for over a year.

Where are our sodomite saviors?

Glad to hear that you are completely cured from the cancer.

With the "mad cow" scare they went to the other extreme--for years you could not donate if you had spent more than 6 months in Europe after Jan. 1, 1980. I was in Europe for more than 6 months in 1980. If they had made the cut-off 1981 I would have been OK. Finally they changed it to five years in Europe so I was allowed to donate again.

Meanwhile people who have lived in Europe all their lives can donate blood there.

A blood company could make a killing selling blood from straight, monogamous, folks who haven’t had the clot shots.

I have A blood. My mother was type O. I don’t know what my father’s type was.

That would be me! And bonus blood type not so common! They’d have to pay me big bucks though. I refuse to donate since Covid but used to do it regularly. I do not want them peaking into my medical records just for a donation.

Beg me $, beeches

You can pre donate for a planned surgery for a compatible family member, but it will cost the same as it would coming straight from the blood bank.

Not at our area hospitals.

They flat out refused.

And, the blood was needed within a few days....they said they needed ‘weeks’ to prepare.

Yeah, it has to be processed by the blood bank.

Unvaxxed blood and sperm are the new gold.

Thanks.

I was cured, but I’m still “suspect,” forever.

Homos are never suspect, even though they flirt with HIV every weekend and many weekdays.

An immediate disqualifier to donate blood should be if you have an active Grindr hookup app account. Nearly every homosexual man has one.
