I'm a universal donor and refuse to get the poke. My blood is gonna be worth big bux soon.

Nah you can't profit from selling your body. Only the medical companies who extract it from you may profit. Those plasma donation places call your payment a "donation/gift" for your time... So I can buy hookers and blow as long as I'm donating to the dealer/hooker or giving them a gift 🤷‍♂️

I understand the point you're making.

Some countries you can sell your blood, which in my opinion, is the only fair exchange since these Red Cross Societies make money hand over fist on-selling it to the medical industry.

It's likely in countries where it's legislated against remuneration for blood, that it's been lobbied to be that that way.

I use to donate, until I found out that they profit and being a rare O RH- myself, can only imagine what they on-sell my blood for while claiming they are a charitable organization -- not to mention the risk, however low, of cross contamination or infection from the process of giving blood.

Are you aware of their involvement in international child sex trafficking, or is it just their greed? Anytime you see a Red Cross and a Masonic lodge in the same neighborhood, there's a good chance they're keeping slaves nearby.

The US is the #1 blood exporter on the world. Yet we always hear that there is a blood shortage here in the US.

Yea, because the US exports it.

Look at the recent "coof relief bills". Where is that money going? Other countries.

Donations (blood and organs) are a funny thing. The medical staff are certainly getting paid. The hospitals/clinics are, too. And the person receiving the donation is surely getting a benefit, if not monetary. The only person who gets nothing out of the whole thing is the donor.

Do you ever just volunteer, knowing it could help?

What if your rare blood saves a high-profile leftists life?

That reminds me of a joke... It ends "cheeks all puffed out, she held up three fingers."

Same here. People who take the shot also take their plasma out of the running for use in certain treatments, including for COVID-19.

There's just no upside to get this shot.

non-tainted, numbers-matching blood
