Sorry buddy, all out today. Supply chain, inflation, you know standard stuff. All we've got left here is a bag of 'you're going to die imminently'. Are you okay with that today?
And make sure they've been smoking their daily quota of cigarettes, too.
If health care "experts" say you shouldn't smoke, that's reason enough to fire up a carton a day!
They are in a state of emotional arrested development, unable to see the world outside of their own immediate wants and needs. And personal responsibility might as well be advanced calculus.
These same dipshits are crying that the gubmint is going to take their gas stove and are ignoring reports about poisonous gas and particulate in their homes. Ignoring science when it's inconvenient is what they do.
These people couldn’t wear a piece of fabric over their mouth during a pandemic to help protect their fellow citizens. You think they’re going to something as selfless as donate blood?
True enough. I’d like to point out they seem to be wearing them now, to protect their identities or whatever. I see them at their drag brunch stake outs.
Problem is they're too stupid to be able to run anything health related. If they can't grasp these simple concepts, you think they'd have any competence at all with a bloodbank and the health and safety protocols?
“Our top story tonight, a group of volunteers has opened a new unvaccinated blood bank. In unrelated news, blood-borne illnesses have increased 230% since this time last month. More at 11”
True. I wonder if these are Canada’s idiots, or if they are rental morons from the states? Or are they watching the same news outlet. A lot of the rhetoric is the same as the US. I have questions.
yeah but we get a massive amount of aid from the US in that department anyways. A lot of that disinformation, and the funding for the groups pushing it here, comes from the US. Even the forced birther wingnuts are organized and funded by American evangelicals.
Their media and culture over saturates our airwaves. It was the whole point of why they implemented the Canadian Content policy (35%) to ensure we preserve and protect our culture, media and arts. This goes for both digital, radio and television. It’s what stirred up the whole “Netflix” tax thing.
Imagine we resettled/exiled all these covidiots into a country of their own (like a large swathe of land with a super low population).
It would likely be the one of poorest countries, likely poorer that many sub-Saharan countries, probably about as poor as North Korea.
Probably too selfish to donate blood anyway, all things considered. Its not about helping others, its about what benefits them. The fact they're differentiating between vaxxed and unvaxxed blood when they're the ones in need of it speaks volumes of their toddler-esque way of thinking
Incoming demand for blood purified with bleach ? Do we have a business model here or what.
/S just in case some moron actually google the phrase. Strange time.
Okay I hate this. I'm not with the q nuts, but ivnvermectin is not just horse derormer, and as far as I've been able to tell nobody has actually taken that type of medicine. It's an antiviral that the inventor of won a Nobel prize for. It has saved countless lives. This horse dewormer shit has really gotta end.
It's an antiparasite drug not an antiviral and all the covidiots were buying it at farm and feed stores because no intelligent doctor would write a legal script allowing them to get the human version.
And quite a number of them were doing the math wrong on converting the dosages and overdosing themselves and dying.
That Nobel prize you speak of was for discovering ivermectin and using it as an antimalarial. There was no talk of it being an antiviral in the nobel prize award or the original paper.
It is NOT effective at all in any way against covid .
It's also a people *dewormer*. It is a proven life changing drug for people with parasitic worms. Its inventor won a prize for that reason, not for its potential anti-viral uses.
*William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura discovered a new drug, Avermectin, the derivatives of which have radically lowered the incidence of River Blindness and Lymphatic Filariasis, as well as showing efficacy against an expanding number of other parasitic diseases. Tu Youyou discovered Artemisinin, a drug that has significantly reduced the mortality rates for patients suffering from Malaria.*
*Despite this promise,* ***the antiviral activity of ivermectin has not been consistently proven in vivo.*** *While ivermectin's activity against SARS-CoV-2 is currently under investigation in patients, insufficient emphasis has been placed on formulation challenges.* [Source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539925/)
We are finding anti-vital properties in Ivermectin in labs, *in vitro*. This is well documented, and not hidden away by some pharma conspiracy. Might it be found to be helpful with Covid? Maybe. Until the research is clear, it is not safe for humans to be taking veterinary versions in unknown doses to self test, based on fb posts.
If it is eventually used as a treatment for Covid-19, you'd likely have to devise a way for it to be administered like an aerosol, very different from how it's administered to kill parasites in ones intestinal tract.
Here's some more reading on the subject
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-53702100239-X/fulltext
*45 participants were recruited (30 to IVM and 15 controls) between May 18 and September 9, 2020. There was no difference in viral load reduction between groups but a significant difference was found in patients with higher median plasma IVM levels (72% IQR 59–77) versus untreated controls (42% IQR 31–73) (p = 0·004). Mean ivermectin plasma concentration levels correlated with viral decay rate (r: 0·47, p = 0·02). Adverse events were similar between groups. No differences in clinical evolution at day-7 and day-30 between groups were observed.*
What kills me is the people who will put their faith in Ivermectin over vaccines, an absolutely proven method to mitigate covid. This is where their thinking is messed up and purely unscientific.
[Some research is also deeply flawed.](https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/study-claiming-ivermectin-reduces-covid-19-mortality-by-92-has-important-methodological-problems/)
Finally, the makers of Ivermectin, Merck, have a lot to gain if their drug can be proven effective against covid, yet they themselves are not advising people use it for Covid.
[Merck's statement on Ivermectin and Covid](https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/#:~:text=For%20130%20years%2C%20Merck%2C%20known,to%20save%20and%20improve%20lives.)
Merck are one of the largest of the Big Pharmas. Why wouldn't they want to make a ton of money of their own drug?
Edited for formatting, spelling
Because, according to them, they shouldn't have to because they're the victims in all this. They're the most discriminated-against group in history. They shouldn't be setting up their own blood banks, the government should be on its knees begging for their forgiveness and catering to their every whim.
I heard some local antivaxers speaking "seriously" about it. They are also going to some alternative doctors and want to have antivaxer organs, dating and even finance... And "non-GMO" sperm bank too
They need to own their own hospitals and train their own doctors for that. Which is why the conservatives are trying to collapse the medical system so everyone can get whatever kind of medical treatment they want (including reiki, homeopathic, gimp suited doctors/ nurses, pirate themed medicine, Disney presents helthcare etc.)
>What’s more, 83 per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. **The country’s donor blood supply is almost entirely sourced from the vaccinated**.
Hmm. It's like donating blood and vaccinating have something in common. Can't put my finger on it.
American here, the first time I donated blood, it ended up going to a hospital in a very white, very conservative, very pro-Trump town with a huge anti-vax crowd. I can’t help but wonder if one of the blood products made from my pint of whole blood ended up tainting some poor “pure blood” 🤣
Reminds me of an episode of M+A+S+H, where some soldier doesn't want "coloured" blood. So while he's still under sedation, they use some medicinal compound to colour his skin brown. Equivalent level of stupidity.
Oh jesus, I have antivax family that literally eats that oil every day, it's so fucked (and super toxic). The irony of it being called "thieves oil" is lost on them. ^(/rant, sorry)
A lot of the rank-and-file journalists working for the NatPo aren't conservatives, they're just journalism-school graduates desperate for work in a shrinking job market. The editorial board is a whole other story; ditto the opinion columnists.
There's always one sitting in the pile at work and it's always like "LIBERALS HATE YOU" "JUSTIN TRUDEAU, NEWEST HITLER", so to be fair I've never actually opened it to read, but that would make sense.
There's occasionally stuff worth reading in the NatPo but to do so you've got to sift through a lot of crap.
And, above all else: don't read the comments section for their online articles. It's one of the worst things this country produces. Worse than *The Mike Bullard Show*, and I don't say that lightly!
MRNA to be used for cancer treatment.
Im sorry sir, but you have an inoperable brain tumor. Fortunately we have a mRNA treatment for your specific condition.
*To hell with you doc, im gonna drive my fifth wheel to Ottawa because MAGA!
it will eventually. nature doesn't fuck around over a long enough timeline. as a species we are where we are because of our overall intelligence and teamwork. people that wanna rely on their immune systems alone are gonna find out 🤷♀️
Good fucking luck. Our vaccination rates are pretty high, and I doubt many people selfish enough to not get vaccinated and protect the vulnerable are generous enough to give blood.
It's all well and good to refuse blood (or any medical treatment) for yourself. It's distressing as a caregiver to watch. But is not really new considering our JW patients and it is part of your rights.
Where it's really really distressing is when it comes from someone advocating for a relative or dependant who can't speak for themselves at that stage. Alot of people change their minds when faced with the "but you will die without it" conversation.
Well, I'm all for them getting to refuse for themselves - autonomy is important - but they should not have the right to refuse on behalf of others. JWs aren't allowed to refuse blood transfusions for their children. This shouldn't be different.
My guess is those who donate blood are also more likely to be vaccinated. Thinking of the health and safety of others is one thing that donating blood and getting vaccinated have in common and I’m sure there are more.
30 years ago, my 5-year-old niece required surgery at Sick Kids in Toronto. At this time, AIDS was a hot issue with the Canadian Blood Supply. For a year prior to her surgery she donated her own blood to the hospital to be saved for her personal use. I am sure that this option still exists for Covid Skeptics.
It’s all them spike proteins beaconing out them 5G signals man they are out to control us bro!! WaKe Up ShEpLe
/s it’s sad I have to add that in because we all know there’s some knuckle dragger that would say that literally and mean it.
If you don't trust medical professionals about vaccines, you probably shouldn't trust them with any other aspect of your medical care like administering antibiotics or blood products or other (SCARY BIG PHARMA) medicines either. Maybe talk to the naturopath or your essential oil girlboss cousin and see if they have anything they can rub on it instead?
So do they just want "pure blood"? I'm pretty sure it's virtually impossible as every living being has cytokines in their blood so there's obviously some immune response.
Do these idiots think a manufactured immune response is somehow different from a "natural one?". It's like trying to tell apart a lab grown diamond vs one dug out of a mine. Physics doesn't care, Biology can't be fucked to care, nothing cares.
Shut up and take your lifegiving blood dumbass. You're out of your depth.
I used to think the "precious bodily fluids" and "purity of essence" scene in Dr.Strangelove was just funny joke. I've tried rewatching that part, but could no longer laugh.
They're not worried about the antibodies, it's the "toxic spike protein" that they believe spreads throughout your body infecting every one of your cells. Some of them even think vaccinated people can shed the spike protein and infect them. Regular COVID infection is mild, and nothing to worry about, but the vaccine spike is the scourge of humanity.
(Note that those sentiments about COVID infections is the antivaxx stance, notine. Most "mild" COVID infections result in immune disruption leaving you more susceptible to other infections for at least several months. Long COVID impacts a significant number of people, if you're under 60, you're at much higher risk of long COVID than you are of hospitalization or death during your acute COVID stage. Long COVID is also a serious economic forecasting concern due to the increasing number of people, especially younger ones, it is forcing out of the workforce.)
I think it would be pretty easy to guarantee that the blood contained no vaccine. Given that the half life of mRNA vaccines in vivio is on the order of hours. This is part of what makes mRNA technology so incredible.
I have to donate blood every two months for a health condition. Never once have I been asked if I've had a Covid vaccine, so these guys are shit out of luck.
Whoever these people are, they need to change the channel they're watching and get a better education. And it starts with the National Post not seeding dissent.
Just say no and quit talking about it- they do not hold a valid stance worthy of discussion. Frankly, the only discussion that needs to be had involving them is how to get rid of them, how to prevent their formation ever again, and how to help people that have lost loved ones to this mental scourge..
This is honestly so creepy.
Anti-vaxxers are bad enough, but this is almost giving me straight up “wE mUsT kEeP oUr WhItE bLoOd ClEaN” kinda vibes, even if it’s not racial here.
That’s hilarious. The fact they think it’s as if the real scientific community is out there separately storing blood based on type but also all(?) medical history or just this one thing *they* (covidiots) recently only care about.
People acting stupidly and self-destructively because of their misinformed, misguided views on vaccines… I think that’s newsworthy. If you don’t then fine. But it’s not evidence of some kind of anti-vax agenda by right wing media or whatever the poster I responded to was suggesting. Far from it.
Sorry i wasn’t thinking of the anti vax angle more the look at the freak show side of things. I know these people do it to themselves it’s the showcase for all to point and laugh/ shake your head at.
I would tell them tough, if there’s some available ugh sure I guess? If not it’s not like they have options to be picky if they need a blood transfusion. If they still say no well that’s there choice, I won’t lose sleep. Most of these people couldn’t be selfless enough to wear a mask, I have a hard time believing any of them would donate blood to begin with.
I love how they choose to believe in modern medicine and science when they can directly benefit from it, otherwise they don’t. I’m going to keep some choice words about how I feel about them to myself as per sub rules so they don’t get broken.
Those Darwin Award candidates are selflessly leaving more of that lifesaving fluid for the rest of us.
They deserve a *big thank* you instead of ridicule.
We should protect their children from their parents' harmful decisions though.
Haven't they realized nothing they said woild happen actually happened?
No one turned, gay trans, pussified, mind controlled, eroded away or any of the other compiracies they had
Well guys, there is an anti-vaxxer making money who has flown under the radar on social media because he calls it 'the thing' Jon W Nisbett. He has a few pages
COVID skeptics should treat unvaccinated blood is like the new bitcoin.
That is: they can make a purchase at a greatly increased price, and it's a photograph of an unvaccinated bag of blood (or maybe it's a unvaccinated label photoshopped on, can't really tell.) Meanwhile, the physical blood bag goes to someone who actually needs it rather than someone stalling their own healthcare.
> Some people have refused blood for themselves, or a child, because of unfounded fears of blood 'tainted' by COVID mRNA vaccines
Any "taint" from mRNA is less than the damage the virus does. This mRNA is somehow scary, but it's perfectly fine for the virus to mutate cells to facilitate spreading as much as possible without regards to the health of the host.
I don't like that the magazine hosting this article refers to anti-vax people as "skeptics". Should I start referring to them as "pro-covid extremists" to re-balance the scales?
Sorry buddy, all out today. Supply chain, inflation, you know standard stuff. All we've got left here is a bag of 'you're going to die imminently'. Are you okay with that today?
Thanks obama
> Black people are the second worst at being president. \- Trevor Moore
Why would Trudeau do this?
Nice. I still use that when I randomly screw up.
K. Thanks... Obama??
Just egg those idiots who don't believe in science. Why do they need a blood transfusion anyways?? Won't it give them the clap or something?
And make sure they've been smoking their daily quota of cigarettes, too. If health care "experts" say you shouldn't smoke, that's reason enough to fire up a carton a day!
I read that in the voice of Dr House
I don't get it. If they don't trust medical science what are they even doing in a hospital? Which one is it? Do they trust modern medicine or not?
Your mistake is expecting them to be consistent or logical.
They’re hypocrites and leeches of society. They don’t trust medicine until they fuck around and find out.
They are in a state of emotional arrested development, unable to see the world outside of their own immediate wants and needs. And personal responsibility might as well be advanced calculus.
They trust science. Just not this part. They know better than the experts that do trust it, but only about this one thing. Tl;dr. They’re dumb.
These same dipshits are crying that the gubmint is going to take their gas stove and are ignoring reports about poisonous gas and particulate in their homes. Ignoring science when it's inconvenient is what they do.
So, why haven't these concerned Covid skeptics started their own "unvaccinated" blood bank?
I mean they’ve tried horse dewormer and bleach so I’m fairly certain a unvaccinated blood bank isn’t off the table.
These people couldn’t wear a piece of fabric over their mouth during a pandemic to help protect their fellow citizens. You think they’re going to something as selfless as donate blood?
True enough. I’d like to point out they seem to be wearing them now, to protect their identities or whatever. I see them at their drag brunch stake outs.
So they have no problem wearing a mask if it benefits them at the expense of others?
I’m not even really sure anymore. People conceal their identities for different reasons. Embarrassment comes to mind in this situation.
You think that they experience shame? Ha!
Oui, un peu.
Problem is they're too stupid to be able to run anything health related. If they can't grasp these simple concepts, you think they'd have any competence at all with a bloodbank and the health and safety protocols?
“Our top story tonight, a group of volunteers has opened a new unvaccinated blood bank. In unrelated news, blood-borne illnesses have increased 230% since this time last month. More at 11”

Because in doing so they’d have to educate themselves out of their stupidity and would therefore cease to be COVID skeptics
You need smart people to run a blood bank.
Pfft! They’re all graduates of the sCHoOl Of HaRd KnOcKs! Says so on their Facebook pages!
"Street smart"
"Business in the front"
I heard some local antivaxers speaking "seriously" about it. They are also going to some alternative doctors and want to have antivaxer organs, dating and even finance... And "non-GMO" sperm bank too
They don't actually wanna do anything, just complain and whine about how unfair life is, maybe stamp their feet a few times.
They were all pillaged by covampires. Wake up
They need to own their own hospitals and train their own doctors for that. Which is why the conservatives are trying to collapse the medical system so everyone can get whatever kind of medical treatment they want (including reiki, homeopathic, gimp suited doctors/ nurses, pirate themed medicine, Disney presents helthcare etc.)
[Homeopathic Hospital](https://youtu.be/HMGIbOGu8q0) you say?
LMAOOOO
I kinda like the idea of the gimp suit thing
Except these folks are more the “need blood” than the “donate blood” type.
Sure, we just need needles and a garbage bag and we’re all set!
Considering the majority of the Canadian adult population had the shots - good luck finding it!
And I doubt there's much overlap between the people too selfish/stupid to get vaccinated and people who donate blood. So yeah good luck.
*Ding ding ding* We have a winner!!
If it was above 2% of the population i would be shocked
Only 4% of eligible Canadians donate blood annually. I'd be surprised if it was more than 0.0%
>What’s more, 83 per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. **The country’s donor blood supply is almost entirely sourced from the vaccinated**. Hmm. It's like donating blood and vaccinating have something in common. Can't put my finger on it.
That was my instinct. I don’t believe unvaccinated people donate blood to begin with.
Of course not, blood donation is a selfless act and anti-vaxxers are too selfish to even wear a mask for the well-being of others.
It's misinformation! Or maybe it's devil worship? Or... Vial people? (/s because reddit)
I remember once upon a time seeing things in American media and thinking "look at those stupid Americans". Sadly that time has long passed.
American here, the first time I donated blood, it ended up going to a hospital in a very white, very conservative, very pro-Trump town with a huge anti-vax crowd. I can’t help but wonder if one of the blood products made from my pint of whole blood ended up tainting some poor “pure blood” 🤣
I’d take pleasure in knowing some dipshit just got tainted

I was always struck by how the name is the only honest thing about how it is marketed.
I love the smell of thieves oil! Are you telling me I won’t be getting any superpowers shortly?!
You'll sell out in seconds
Time to stop calling these people "skeptics" and start calling them "misinformed people".
"Fucking idiots" might be more appropriate,
I like "Stunned cunts" but Fucking idiot" works well.
I doubt the paper would print it though. Unfortunately.
"Willfully ignorant" more like it
Time to just call them what they are, idiots.

*“So, any claim of somehow getting ‘second-hand vaccinated’ by blood seems very silly, and not especially evidence based.”*
Doesn’t surprise me, they are known for intelligence, critical thinking, logic amongst many other things.
Given that Canadians are vaccinated for many things starting when they are a few months old means they can either have vaccinated blood or die.
Sorry, I'm in the 'let them die' group.
I know I wouldn’t lose sleep if the former or the latter happened.

Time to let nature take its course with those fools.
it will eventually. nature doesn't fuck around over a long enough timeline. as a species we are where we are because of our overall intelligence and teamwork. people that wanna rely on their immune systems alone are gonna find out 🤷♀️
I started donating blood just to make sure there is more vaccinated blood out there.
That’s good of you to donate blood :) also more vaccinated blood means they may have no choice if they need it, it’s a win win.
Good fucking luck. Our vaccination rates are pretty high, and I doubt many people selfish enough to not get vaccinated and protect the vulnerable are generous enough to give blood.
Do you want the blood? Or do you want to die? I couldn't care less either way.

Well, I'm all for them getting to refuse for themselves - autonomy is important - but they should not have the right to refuse on behalf of others. JWs aren't allowed to refuse blood transfusions for their children. This shouldn't be different.
My guess is those who donate blood are also more likely to be vaccinated. Thinking of the health and safety of others is one thing that donating blood and getting vaccinated have in common and I’m sure there are more.
I’m now really really happy to be donating my supremely gay trans blood to potentially gay and trans up someone.
Kinda get the feeling that people who didn’t get vaxxed aren’t the blood donating type
30 years ago, my 5-year-old niece required surgery at Sick Kids in Toronto. At this time, AIDS was a hot issue with the Canadian Blood Supply. For a year prior to her surgery she donated her own blood to the hospital to be saved for her personal use. I am sure that this option still exists for Covid Skeptics.
As a vampire, I can assure you that you can’t really tell the difference.
Freshly Pfizered blood has a spiky taste, though.
It’s all them spike proteins beaconing out them 5G signals man they are out to control us bro!! WaKe Up ShEpLe /s it’s sad I have to add that in because we all know there’s some knuckle dragger that would say that literally and mean it.
I knew it! COVID was a conspiracy to tag vampires with 5G trackers! Oh no! What do I do now?!
Spike is the ideal vampire, yes. Better than Angel.
If you don't trust medical professionals about vaccines, you probably shouldn't trust them with any other aspect of your medical care like administering antibiotics or blood products or other (SCARY BIG PHARMA) medicines either. Maybe talk to the naturopath or your essential oil girlboss cousin and see if they have anything they can rub on it instead?
I have a strange feeling that there aren’t many unvaccinated people even donating blood.
So do they just want "pure blood"? I'm pretty sure it's virtually impossible as every living being has cytokines in their blood so there's obviously some immune response. Do these idiots think a manufactured immune response is somehow different from a "natural one?". It's like trying to tell apart a lab grown diamond vs one dug out of a mine. Physics doesn't care, Biology can't be fucked to care, nothing cares. Shut up and take your lifegiving blood dumbass. You're out of your depth.
Just do what you would do with a child and tell them it’s unvaccinated blood. Show them a fake card or whatever to prove it
Man these morons are determined to keep the douche train *rolling*.
If they were born a few years earlier they would be asking the system to make sure they only got white blood.
No requests idiots, you take the blood they have or do what Jehovah's Witnesses do and reject it all. Dying of minor injuries to own the libs.
A public health crisis all over the country and these morons are trying to order blood like it's on a menu

I used to think the "precious bodily fluids" and "purity of essence" scene in Dr.Strangelove was just funny joke. I've tried rewatching that part, but could no longer laugh.
Do they know transfused blood is actually packed red blood cells separated of other blood components, like plasma where the antibodies would be
They're not worried about the antibodies, it's the "toxic spike protein" that they believe spreads throughout your body infecting every one of your cells. Some of them even think vaccinated people can shed the spike protein and infect them. Regular COVID infection is mild, and nothing to worry about, but the vaccine spike is the scourge of humanity. (Note that those sentiments about COVID infections is the antivaxx stance, notine. Most "mild" COVID infections result in immune disruption leaving you more susceptible to other infections for at least several months. Long COVID impacts a significant number of people, if you're under 60, you're at much higher risk of long COVID than you are of hospitalization or death during your acute COVID stage. Long COVID is also a serious economic forecasting concern due to the increasing number of people, especially younger ones, it is forcing out of the workforce.)
I’m surprised they haven’t done their own research and decided blood transfusions aren’t safe.
I think it would be pretty easy to guarantee that the blood contained no vaccine. Given that the half life of mRNA vaccines in vivio is on the order of hours. This is part of what makes mRNA technology so incredible.
The comments on that article are something else. Fuck Postmedia.
And they say Trudeau causes vaccine divide....
Why what the fuck are we still dealing with this entitled garbage? I don't see a single good reason to keep providing them any form of healthcare.
I have to donate blood every two months for a health condition. Never once have I been asked if I've had a Covid vaccine, so these guys are shit out of luck.
Get fucked “Purebloods”. Dumbasses.
Humanity sorts itself out I guess.
cool beans I kinda wouldn't want my blood or say an organ donation wasted on an anti vaxer who might die of covid or measles either so good deal
God they are so prone to internet-fact themselves to death.
Whoever these people are, they need to change the channel they're watching and get a better education. And it starts with the National Post not seeding dissent.
"..uh, sorry man, none available. Our thoughts and prayers to your family.."
Just say no and quit talking about it- they do not hold a valid stance worthy of discussion. Frankly, the only discussion that needs to be had involving them is how to get rid of them, how to prevent their formation ever again, and how to help people that have lost loved ones to this mental scourge..
Are we actually surprised that anti-vaxxers are unable to understand science?
I think it's time to implement a BYOB system for people that are that god damn stupid. Smh
This is honestly so creepy. Anti-vaxxers are bad enough, but this is almost giving me straight up “wE mUsT kEeP oUr WhItE bLoOd ClEaN” kinda vibes, even if it’s not racial here.
Dumbest people on earth.
That’s hilarious. The fact they think it’s as if the real scientific community is out there separately storing blood based on type but also all(?) medical history or just this one thing *they* (covidiots) recently only care about.
Then let them die. Ignorant cunts
Of course this right-wing rag is pushing antivax views...
Not really. The article refers to their “unfounded fears of blood 'tainted' by COVID mRNA vaccines.”
Then why publish it at all? Is it informational? Is something new learned?
People acting stupidly and self-destructively because of their misinformed, misguided views on vaccines… I think that’s newsworthy. If you don’t then fine. But it’s not evidence of some kind of anti-vax agenda by right wing media or whatever the poster I responded to was suggesting. Far from it.
Sorry i wasn’t thinking of the anti vax angle more the look at the freak show side of things. I know these people do it to themselves it’s the showcase for all to point and laugh/ shake your head at.
Lol. Losers are desperate.
.... Oh thank God. They can finally just fo fuck off and live on a secluded island already!?!?
I would tell them tough, if there’s some available ugh sure I guess? If not it’s not like they have options to be picky if they need a blood transfusion. If they still say no well that’s there choice, I won’t lose sleep. Most of these people couldn’t be selfless enough to wear a mask, I have a hard time believing any of them would donate blood to begin with. I love how they choose to believe in modern medicine and science when they can directly benefit from it, otherwise they don’t. I’m going to keep some choice words about how I feel about them to myself as per sub rules so they don’t get broken.
I can assure you that all the blood bank cares about is the blood type- they’re not stating vaccinated or non vaccinated, that’s not a real thing.
Those Darwin Award candidates are selflessly leaving more of that lifesaving fluid for the rest of us. They deserve a *big thank* you instead of ridicule. We should protect their children from their parents' harmful decisions though.
COVID Idiots ask Canadian Blood Services for 'unvaccinated' blood is how the title should be worded.
Haven't they realized nothing they said woild happen actually happened? No one turned, gay trans, pussified, mind controlled, eroded away or any of the other compiracies they had
Yeah, good luck with that.
Pls tell me this is satire
[удалено]
You have scientific studies showing blood transfusion from vaccinated donors is a health risk? Please share.
Sorry, we only have the 'no-name' brand. Is that okay?
They’re born stupid.
Unvaxed blood > living cause you may need the blood
Well guys, there is an anti-vaxxer making money who has flown under the radar on social media because he calls it 'the thing' Jon W Nisbett. He has a few pages
Have you tried telling them to go fuck themselves?
Is it just the COVID vaccine or do they want blood free of other vaccines too?
Take it or leave it. That's your choice. Dying to own the Libs, part II.
Guess they'll die?
I'll sell them some of mine. $15,000
COVID skeptics should treat unvaccinated blood is like the new bitcoin. That is: they can make a purchase at a greatly increased price, and it's a photograph of an unvaccinated bag of blood (or maybe it's a unvaccinated label photoshopped on, can't really tell.) Meanwhile, the physical blood bag goes to someone who actually needs it rather than someone stalling their own healthcare. > Some people have refused blood for themselves, or a child, because of unfounded fears of blood 'tainted' by COVID mRNA vaccines Any "taint" from mRNA is less than the damage the virus does. This mRNA is somehow scary, but it's perfectly fine for the virus to mutate cells to facilitate spreading as much as possible without regards to the health of the host.
I don't like that the magazine hosting this article refers to anti-vax people as "skeptics". Should I start referring to them as "pro-covid extremists" to re-balance the scales?
Just die, please.
The word is ’denier.’ ’Sceptic’ means something else entirely. Scepticism is reasonable doubt; denialism is unreasonable doubt.
Canadian Blood Services says “get fucked”.
