Complete insanity. Once again, innocent people are sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
There goes the blood supply.Another victim to political correctness.
Some deranged queer who knows he’s got HIV but isn’t in the system will purposefully donate just to be a psychotic as_hole.
[[FDA Lifts Ban on Blood Donations from Men Who Have Had Sex with Men]]
apparently the government doesn’t think the spread of aids is happening fast enough
I should start a blood bank and charge a premium for “gay free” blood.
Though I suppose that would probably run afoul of some tyrannical bureaucratic rule nowadays, wouldn’t it?
I was a steady ARC donor for 15 years ending ~1995. The med-techs had developed a blood test for HIV by the mid-1980s, and it has supposedly been improved since then. The joke back then was that those people who were at risk for contracting HIV could go donate blood at the ARC and get a free HIV test at the same time.
By 1995 the ARC had already implemented a long questionnaire for prospective donors to serve as a self-report screening tool. I have searched the ARC sites as recently as 1 year ago and could find no mention of what the exact testing policy was for HIV or other disease agents in donated blood.
My impression is that the biggest blood donor agencies in the U.S. are the ARC, AHA, and blood centers sponsored by hospitals.
not a good idea
Since queers by definition are coprophiliacs, I challenge anyone to find one that is celebate for a month with the exception of those that are bedridden with AIDS. This move by the FDA is a significant public health risk that has been subjugated to queer politics. I have donated my last pint of blood except to friends and relatives in need.
So a male hooker can give you their blood, BUT I CANNOT. I can’t save your life with my O negative universal donor blood, because - GASP - I lived in Europe in the late 1980s which is only a few countries away from where some cows got mad cow disease, even though Switzerland didn’t import beef from The UK.
How does that make sense? If I were a lesbian, would my blood be better? Clearly, homosexuality trumps just about everything else and makes humans into Angels.
This country has gone insane. What sane society would place political correctness over its people’s health and safety? How could anyone support this after seeing the statistics for AIDS and other VDs among homosexual men? We must not discriminate even if it means people die because it. Pure insanity.
Does this mean that Obama can now donate blood?
Curious minds want to know.
The baby I’m currently carrying is anemic for reasons I won’t bore you with. It is likely she will need a transfusion after birth. This pisses me off to no end
This contest has finally come down to who shall live and who shall die. The vile degenerate sodomites and their African Queen in the Rainbow Hut are drawing a literal “red” in the sand against every decent American.
Are they not levying war of a sorts against us? Are we not now in mortal peril? Is this action any different than levying war against the states or otherwise aiding and abetting our enemies? Is this not an act of treason against the very people that in fact are this republic?
This has now become a matter of both national AND individual survival. These goons now threaten our very lives. Would this act be any less menacing against the American people than if the federal government were to purposely poison our water and food, having the premeditated intent to murder off the population?
Is this not an attempt at genocide against the majority heterosexual population?
How many more steps to must we retreat before our backs are against the wall and we finally fight?
Must federal goon squads knock down your door in the middle of the night and blow your heads off in front of your wives and children? Is that when you will finally decide to act as we eventually must act?
Are we Americans - or are we cowardly little slaves , hoping the wolf eats us last?
How much more tyranny are you all willing to accommodate for the sake of an imagined peace?
I long for the days when this country was one of respect for tradition and fear of God, and we were fighting to be the first in line to preserve our freedom. I’m not sure where I’m living now. Can you imagine the outrage if this happened in 1990? 1995? 2000? Seems so long ago. Homosexuality is the antithesis of what made America great — strong willed men, raised to be responsible heads of household, enforcing our long standing traditions and history, and respecting women as mothers. It’s all being erased, piece by piece. How did we get here so fast?
insanity
This should be grounds for a class action suit against the FDA.
From a purely scientific point of view, does this make any sense?
So now Obama can donate blood.
A nation going to Hell
Wait until the Cuban variant becomes dominant.
