Quote:With nearly 60% of the eligible U.S. population fully vaccinated, most of the nation’s blood supply is now coming from donors who have been inoculated, experts said. That’s led some patients who are skeptical of the shots to demand transfusions only from the unvaccinated, an option blood centers insist is neither medically sound nor operationally feasible.
“We are definitely aware of patients who have refused blood products from vaccinated donors,” said Dr. Julie Katz Karp, who directs the blood bank and transfusion medicine program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia

My manager at work told me today that she has a good friend who is a nurse practioner at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. That's the hospital they take you to when you are in bad shape...that's where the gunshot victims go, where major pileup accidents victims go...if you get taken to Parkland, it's not good news...anyway...they are nearly out of blood. Can't be getting picky if you are lucky enough to get "tainted" blood you better take it...chances are you won't get any at all.
