The requests continue as trust in the blood supply remains shaken for many. 🩸 🩸
Patients are increasingly refusing standard blood transfusions out of fear of receiving blood from COVID-vaccinated donors.
Blood banks do not record or label donations by vaccination status, so some people are requesting directed donations from known unvaccinated family or friends instead.
A recent review at Vanderbilt University Medical Center found multiple cases where this led to delays in care. In a couple of instances, patients who refused standard blood became significantly sicker while waiting.
🚨 THIS MESSAGE IS FOR EVERY PERSON WHO REFUSED TO BEND.
When the pressure came...
You stood your ground.
When others stayed silent...
You spoke up.
When conformity was demanded...
You chose conviction.
Whatever your view of the pandemic today, no one should ever again be shamed, excluded or coerced for making a personal medical decision.
