You're kidding, right? If women as plasma donors present a substantially greater risk than man which can lead to DEATHS, then the rational thing is to exclude women as plasma donors.

I'm not sure why they can't screen for leukocyte antibodies though.

It looks a little Photoshoppy to me. The straps are too close to the body where there should be just a wee bit of clearance, the outline of the bottom of the bikini top is oddly fuzzy and a little too uniformly colored, and the straps themselves don't look robust enough to be keeping "the twins" at the height they seem to be keeping them at.

Sheer insanity. There have been a tiny number of lung deaths in the period this idiot science was derived from. There would be far more deaths from having insufficient blood supplies than from this wildly improbable potential.

No one who ever took a statistics course (and understood it) or one in logic would recommend such a destructive course. But it may just be wild speculation on the paper's part. Not much you can believe in these rags today.

In a way it reminds me of the DDT scare. Yeah, it was banned. And maybe 50 million people have died because of it.

Democracies are subject to waves of Hysteria induced by "experts". And, though a Republic, our nation acts like a Democracy FAR too often.
