Concerns Over Blood Supply Safety Related to Covid-19 Vaccinations

Concerns have arisen regarding the safety of the blood supply in relation to Covid-19 vaccinations. An individual, initially supportive of vaccinations, has changed their stance after researching the implications of vaccine-derived materials in blood donation. A phone inquiry to One Blood revealed that they do not process plasma from vaccinated donors due to the presence of mRNA from the vaccine in the plasma. In contrast, the American Red Cross accepts blood from both vaccinated and unvaccinated donors but recommends a two-week waiting period after vaccination for plasma donations. This discrepancy raises questions about the safety protocols of blood processing and the potential risks posed to the blood supply.

• The author transitioned from being pro-vaccine to opposing vaccinations after researching related issues.
• One Blood does not process plasma from Covid-vaccinated donors, citing the presence of mRNA in their plasma.
• The American Red Cross accepts blood from both groups but advises a two-week wait after vaccination for plasma donations.
• The differences in policies between One Blood and the Red Cross prompt concerns about blood safety and monitoring by health organizations.
