I got a weird email from The Red Cross | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76218996  United States04/18/2021 01:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Currently being anemic, this is rather worrisome. No way do I want a transfusion at this point in time with plasma of anyone that had any kind of COVID vaccine, ugh. Quoting: Keilani So my natural doctor told me one time, that the iron supplements are not very effective for anemia if you are lacking b vitamins. He put me on a b complex for a couple of months. I have never been anemic since. Only my experience though. |

No way do I want a transfusion at this point in time with plasma of anyone that had any kind of COVID vaccine, ugh. Quoting: Keilani I've had chronic anemia since the mid 80s. I've been very sick and weak most of my life because of iron deficiency anemia. The symptoms of anemia are so horrible...it makes you feel like you have some horrendous dis-ease and makes you feel like you're dying. In around 2016 I discovered the most amazing iron supplement called VITRON-C. It contains carbonyl iron (a food grade iron which is the safest form to take) and also contains vitamin C which helps the body absorb iron. I always get a burst of energy and mental clarity about an hour after taking Vitron-C. It almost immediately warms me up too. Anemia causes you to be FREEZING COLD all the time. A few months after I started taking Vitron-C I was no longer anemic. I've tried numerous brands/types of iron supplements and I can tell you without a doubt that Vitron-C is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! And it's cheap! Around $13 a bottle and worth every penny! You can buy it online and many stores sell it over the counter. Whatever you do, don't take the ferrous sulfate iron supplement that doctors prescribe! It's a horrible form of iron that causes stomach pain, nausea, and constipation. It's not absorbed well either. I'm so grateful I discovered Vitron-C with carbonyl iron! I hope you will give it a try - it literally changed my life! Wow this sounds interesting. I didn't see this post, Vitron-C with carbonyl iron. I agree with the horrible effects of ferrous sulfate. It was horrible for me. |

Quoting: Catseye what about organs? what if you need a kidney and it comes from a vaxed person? anyone needing surgery better stock some of their own blood first Apparently, less are giving during the pandemic. Prolly for the same reasons less are going to Church or actively seeking work when on unemployment. When the incentive is gone ... you see who are doing things bc they really want to or were doing it bc they were being socially influenced. ETA: nvm ... this isnt what i meant to say but I'll leave it. I was thinking it sounds like they are hinting that vaxed blood may not be viable but they will take anything anyway it would be funny if the Red Cross comes out with antibody test results when nobody else will I am a 'lifetime donor." not because the Red Cross has a stellar reputation, but because I and some of my family members and friends have benefitted from donated blood in the past, and the Red Cross is the only donor choice in the area where I live. They have been reporting the presence or absence of C19 antibodies for the last 5 or 6 donation periods now. The information is available on their website, usually within a week after the donation. If you read the donor information documents, you realize that the Red Cross has been very careful to avoid blood-borne pathogens from all over the world, for a very long time now. It is actually a rare occasion when I am scheduling a donor appointment that they have not added new questions or instructions for some pathogen danger from somewhere in the world. I assume that the clotting disorder issues are the cause of their reservations concerning vaxxed donors now. In terms of "they'll take anything anyway"--no, they actually will not. Every time I donate, I see people turned away for one reason or another. Either they could not answer one of the risk profile questions satisfactorily, they did not pass the blood-iron content test, or their stats were not up to par. I myself have been turned down once when I forgot to supplement iron in the week before donation and did not meet the minimum iron content. One thing they do that I greatly appreciate: in the weeks following every donation, I receive an e-mail telling me where my donation was sent. Most of the time it is used within a 100-mile radius of my hometown, but occasionally I am surprised to see that my donation was sent halfway across the country. Oh you sweet summer child... The red cross puts that stuff in the agreement so you won't go looking... In addition to their sins of being a literal blood monopoly that has actively suppressed research into synthetic blood supplies and other things that could have saved untold lives. They've also given a whole fuckin bunch of people aids cancer and a bunch of other nasty shit in a string of incidents over too many total years and incidents for it to indicate anything resembling competency. Hint: they FOUGHT BACK early in the aids epidemic against the idea of testing all blood all the time... And gave a fucking bunch of people AIDS entirely unnecessarily because they didn't want to spend the money to test ecery single blood donation. This despite them getting paid by the government, public donations, and sell every unit of blood at eye watering prices before they'll release it to you for any reason... Yes that's right, they get paid AT MINIMUM 3X for every unit of blood they collect and release! that's why upper management and board members of the red cross receive compensation packages that you flat will not find in private industry even in a good portion of fortune 500 corporations. But remember, not only is it illegal for you to sell your own blood but it's also illegal for anyone, including hospitals and doctors in almost all circumstances including emergencies, but the red cross to be involved in THE BLOOD INDUSTRY! Do you feel safe and take care of yet? You shouldn't. Oh PS They've also been implicated in drug running gun running terrorism and all other manner of illegal shit! Notice I say ACCUSED Wanna know why? Because I don't want my ass sued off by the Red Cross THAT'S WHY! roguetechie |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 80257204 United States04/20/2021 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have donated blood on a regular basses for years. I stopped donating when this covid BS started because I refuse to wear a mask. They called me asking if I would come in and make a donation. I said that I wasn't going to donate untill this covid stuff was over. They assured me that it was safe and that everyone was wearing masks. I told them that when they stop wearing masks Ill start donating blood again. Its been a year now with no donations from me. They no longer call or text me asking for donations. |
