FDA eases restrictions on blood donations from gay men

This new blood supply should be held for use by only our most important families - those federal elected officials, employees of the federal government and every member of their personal families (military members excluded). This group should be the only ones who are blessed with this new, ultra-clean supply.

FDA eases restrictions on blood donations from gay men

Everyone involved in this needs an AIDS IV stuck into their arms. Literally, these people need to die of this disease which they are spreading to others in the name of their diversity perversity.

[DiogenesLamp]

"The Food and Drug Administration announced Monday it will replace the blanket ban with a new policy barring donations from men who have had sex with a man in the previous year."

"And we know disease infested faggots with serious mental issues would never lie to us about this! "

Everyone responsible for this decisions needs to die. The sooner the better.

[DiogenesLamp]

Nothing like needing a blood transfusion and wondering where the hell they're getting the blood. And if I'm right, the faggots will kinda' enjoy this.

There has been a wide history of disease ridden faggots deliberately infecting other people with AIDs. In the early days, they did it because they thought that if more people had the disease, more money and influence would be brought to bear to cure it.

Nowadays they do it for that reason, and because they get their jollies from it. I'm sure a bunch of them would LOVE to infect normal people with their "Gay" disease.

There are literally a bunch of sick faggots out there trying to get infected with AIDS. They call them "Bug Chasers."

absolutely.

all “settled science” is a politcal tool ...not established fact

[MeshugeMikey]

I’d “heard” that it was now up to 98 percent?....

[Seruzawa]

The FDA didn’t do this. Someone working at the FDA made the decision. There really is no “government”. There are only groups of people acting a certain ways based on certain agreements.

[TruthWillWin]

Let’s play Russian Roulette with the blood supply?

[SgtHooper]

So, will I become a fag if I receive fag blood!? /s

"The FDA didn't do this. Someone working at the FDA made the decision."

I bet if "someone" at the FDA decided to tighten restrictions on blood donations by gay men you'd see that someone get monkey-stomped by the current administration in a hurry.

I have always had a problem with that question on the list I complete before giving blood. How come the ban was never against sodomy? Would not heterosexual penetration be as much of a problem?

[grobdriver]

Actually, I had this discussion with my nurse wife this evening and come to find out the largest growing demographic (and unknown why) for HIV is seniors and Hispanic women.

Accordingly, the health care system is moving towards testing all blood in the blood banks for HIV.

Moronic FDA could have just said that to alleviate concern... but maybe they don't know it - which makes their decision even more reprehensible.

Your postgrobdriver reminds me of another of my favorite issues. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). With sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses a third of APA’s 17,000 plus membership approved removal despite the fact no studies were presented to dispute prior research.

Psychology and Psychiatry chose to abandon all pretense of scientific rigor in exchange for popular societal and political acclaim. The barriers then erected to meaningful research about homosexuality remind me of Genesis 3:23-24. In these verses the Lord God banished humanity from the Garden of Eden and placed an angel in the Garden to keep humanity away forever.

By their actions, Psychology and Psychiatry appear content within their own Garden of Eden. They seem to consider the accouterments of a religion to be more attractive than those of a science. The under-voting and public attacks support the understanding that the DSM is as likely to accumulate political manifestos and marketing brochures as attempts at scientific expositions.

In this decision the FDA follows a similar dismal path.

If you look at the life expectancy reduction and health risks associated with the ‘lifestyle’, it’s obvious this is not natural behavior. Even from a Darwinian perspective, it’s a gene killing deviation that should have died out by now.

Moronic FDA could have just said that to alleviate concern... but maybe they don't know it - which makes their decision even more reprehensible.

The purpose of their statement was to further the "normalization" of perverted sickos. It is exactly the same motivation as putting women in combat. It has nothing to do with reality or sanity, and everything to do with Liberal social engineering.

Your post makes me think you might be unaware of what happened leading up to 1973. The Faggots started threatening the members of the APA. They would call their homes and offices and threaten them. They showed up at the APA meetings as a mob, and threatened to hurt them if they didn't remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders.

They conducted a multi-year intimidation campaign against the Doctors who were member of the APA, and many of them just didn't want to fight with a massive mob of potentially dangerous kooks. If you know anything about Homosexuals, you probably know that they tend to be particularly violent and vicious when their hate is aroused. Many if not most serial killers were homosexual.

They are truly sick, sick, people. The Doctors probably knew this better than any, and they knew what sort of people were threatening them. They knew these people didn't have normal impulse control, or rage control.

They caved. Scientific studies were irrelevant. What mattered was masses of wackjobs and threats.

The last was an excerpt from an essay I wrote that included the things you mentioned.

I first got interested in the subject when I went through an MBA program in finance. I decided to avoid what I considered the touchy, feely courses in sales and marketing and instead took some 500 level courses in quantitative methods. There I encountered a psychology professor who was frustrated about the direction his concentration in abnormal psychology was moving. He was into the rigorous application of statistics for any doctoral committees on which he served, so he strongly opposed a recent decision of his association. I remember him as passionately opposed and unintimidated concerning the decision.

Not all caved, but enough did.

[Retain Mike]

From my understanding a huge number did. I admired his principled stand at the time because of my regard for quantitative methods. Now more so because it seems he was willing to be ostracized by his peers.
