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

I'm kinda surprised that there are enough unvaccinated donors to go around. After all, if they refuse to believe the science around vaccines, why would they accept the science around blood donation. More to the point. If they won't suffer two quick jabs, weeks apart, why would they let someone stick them long enough to drain an entire pint?
