Between that and the Covid shots, it seems like it might be wise to for a monogamous heterosexual pureblood like me to stockpile my own blood. Are there blood banks that do that, or is the shelf-life too short to make it practical?

IIRC, with enough notice of an upcoming operation, a patient can donate their own blood for use during and after the procedure.

As for the soundness of scientific analysis underlying the rule change, let the rule maker go first. Build up an appropriate blood supply from this particular group, then have all the FDA types who signed off on the decision get a transfusion. Perfectly safe, right? They said so.

Kind of like having parachute riggers jump randomly selected parachutes that they packed. Parachutists trust them to be careful in packing them. Let them run the same risk to prove it.

Yeah, that seems pretty impractical - you’d have to be refreshing it constantly.

Why not just start importing blood from Haiti?

Australian survey finds that less than a third of gay men have committed relationships with just one partner.

Between this and the labbed blood donations I’d rather bleed out

This radical change was inevitable, with surrounding nations going to this insane policy.

Who’s to say who is “monogamous?” The partner who doesn’t know? And “monogamy” means something completely different in the sodomite population.

Who wants to bet that we will NOT hear of any marked rise in HIV-contaminated blood being collected, or transfused? Such news will by suppressed in the blink of an eye.

Why not just start importing blood from Haiti?

And why not apply this rule to IV drug addicts? As long as they're getting fresh, sterile needles from government-sponsored needle-exchange programs, they can donate. But if they use a needle of unknown status, they must wait 3 months to donate.

My recurrent warning about HIV caused premature aging: Scientists have known since 2012 that HIV infection causes premature aging of 12 years. HIV’s premature aging happens even if HIV is “undetectable,” i.e. being treated with antiretrovirals. This premature aging causes many diseases, like cancers, brittle bones, and kidney disease. I presume HIV’s premature aging means dying 14 years prematurely. To read FR articles on HIV’s premature aging, check keywords hivaging and HivAcceleratedAging.

It is NOT insanity.

It is EVIL.

BTW, anyone know if donors on PrEP will be allowed to donate...?
