I'm wondering- with all the bad press coming out about the "JAB", what are the ramifications of blood that is donated from people that have been vaxed? If I needed blood for an operation or transfusion, I wouldn't want blood from a vaxed person. To my knowledge The Red Cross doesn't ask when you donate. I think they should.

My husband and I are booked in to donate blood today, after reading a book called iron the two edged sword.

he is hoping to relieve his gout,

Sadly the wisdom of many past medical practices has been lost, or discredited in favour of profit.

Update: I donated blood this last Tuesday and they(The Red Cross) now ask the question: Have you ever had a Covid 19 vaccine? Yes or No. Don't know if they want to know anymore details if the answer is "yes", because I was "No".

I'm sorry to hear that. Blood donation I'm sure will lower cancer rates in the public at large - it's too bad that for you it did not stop your scc.
