Plasma For All

Raising awareness for the need for paid plasma donations in order to secure the global plasma supply for patients. Canadian based.

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

Thank you for raising awareness! We need to do what we can to contribute to ensure ALL patients have reliable access to the #plasma therapies they need, in #Canada & around the globe! Thank you to all who donate 💛

The most fascinating public policy issue you've never thought about - the legal and ethical debate over paid plasma donations. In this episode of @CanadaJusticeTV I interview @petermjaworski and patient Kate Vander Meer

Multiple #RareDiseases require #plasmatherapy. Donating #blood or #plasma is a great way to support people with rare diseases in a meaningful way.

You can also educate yourself by following the hashtag #RareDiseaseDay2021 & listening to #patient stories.

[Rare Disease Day @rarediseaseday]

Today is #RareDiseaseDay!

There are over 6⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ rare diseases

🌏 300 million people live with a rare disease accross the world

Rare diseases currently affect 3.5% - 5.9% of the worldwide population👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Patients support Bill 204!

[The Plasma Professor @petermjaworski]

Patients continue to cheer repeal of the ban on paid plasma in Alberta. Latest statement from @CIPONational:

“Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, plasma donations have dropped dramatically... which puts patients’ lives at risk.

...Bill 204 is a step in the right direction.”

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

How could Bill 204 be so simple? Because The Voluntary Blood Donations Act never protected patients (or donors) in the first place! https://t.co/QtWKWOQfFo

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

#Canada needs to encourage infrastructure to turn itself into being a contributor to the global #plasma supply rather than a LARGE drain on the global supply. MLA Tany Yao's Bill 204 is a step in the right direction!

YAO: Repealing NDP blood bill will save lives https://t.co/SXu2vrrFCO #ableg #abpoli #bcpoli #skpoli #mbpoli #cdnpoli

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

@davidclement @petermjaworski @TanyYao @fordnation @fordnation As a patient living in Ontario, I 100% agree!!

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

No, that's what happened when the VBDA was passed in 2017. Thankfully the federal gov't listened to patient voices & did not pass the VBDA. Canada is NOT helpless in the global plasma market. Pretending we are is an insult to all patients globally who don't have the access we do.

[Friends of Medicare @FriendsMedicare]

Today in #ABleg, we witnessed ideology win out over the well-being of patients. Passing #Bill204 means we're now on track to allow the corporate collection & global export of AB's plasma.

Thank you for listening to patients!

[The Plasma Professor @petermjaworski]

It was a mistake for Alberta to ban paying Albertans for plasma in 2017.

Today, MLA @TanyYao has fixed this mistake. His Bill will lift the ban, will increase plasma collections in Alberta, and will help ensure patients have access to the therapies they need.

Thank you, Tany!

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

We are so excited to see that Bill 204: The Voluntary Blood Donations Repeal Act has passed third reading in the #Alberta Legislature! 🎉

Thank you so much @TanyYao & his team, and to each and every supporter/advocate who helped make this happen for #patients! 💛

Of course #paidplasma is just as safe, about 90% of the #plasmatherapies used by patients around the world are derived from paid donations! Demand was much lower & safety standards/screening/processing were much different back when Krever & the WHO gave their recommendation.

[The Plasma Professor @petermjaworski]

Both Canadian Blood Services and Health Canada (along with every national blood operator around the world) have said that paid plasma is *just as safe as* unpaid plasma for plasma protein therapies. Here’s Dr. Graham Sher saying so:

As we near the end of #IPAW2020 & the beginning of 🇨🇦 #Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to thank all #plasmadonors!

Without you, there would be no #plasmatherapy
Without you, there would be no #plasmaindustry
Without you, there would be no hope for #patients

Thank you 💛

Today, I turn #30. I spent my first 30 years letting the world shape me and now I’m going to use my next 30 years to shape the world.

Let’s start by helping #plasmatherapy #patients have reliable access to the therapies they need: https://t.co/5yWhSskBKc

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

@LisaWeinberger SUBQ/SCIG is wonderful. Next to no side effects. Done at your own convenience. Steady dose instead of a peak & fall. Highly recommend!

[World Primary Immunodeficiency Week @WorldPIWeek]

It’s International Plasma Awareness Week! Did you know that #PimaryImmunodeficiency can be treated with #plasmaprotein therapies. This is why blood & #plasmadonations are so important! Visit @HIYDglobal for more info. #WPIW10years

[Plasma For All @Plasma4All]

#Donors & #patients, or anyone whose life has been touched by #plasma, I encourage you to share your stories this week to raise awareness to the importance of #plasmadonation & #plasmatherapies.
