More patients are requesting “unvaccinated” blood and refusing standard blood transfusions. But researchers say people are taking health risks by refusing standard transfusions.
In 2023, billionaires requested unvaccinated pilots following reports that vaccinated pilots were dropping dead in the cockpit.
There is no evidence that people with unvaccinated blood presents any health benefit, according to a new study published in the journal Transfusion.
Researchers report receiving increasing requests from patients for unvaccinated blood. Thirteen patients at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee received blood donated specifically for them by family members.
Vanderbilt University mentioned that “direct donation” from family members can be risky, because most direct donors are giving blood for the first time. Their donations are more likely to contain “potentially harmful pathogens,” the study authors noted.
Requests for unvaccinated blood increased after the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines in America. The fear of so-called “spike proteins” in COVID-19 vaccines fueled the hysteria.
Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst said these types of requests are “part of an ongoing fear culture.”
Vaccine critics argue that spike proteins are behind the rise in “turbo cancers” and potentially deadly blood clots.
Several states, including Oklahoma, have proposed creating blood banks allowing patients to receive blood specifically from donors who have not received COVID-19 vaccines.
“If people want to group up to get blood from other unvaccinated people, I respect that choice, though it will be expensive and will limit options,” Dr. Siegel said.
However, other medical experts said no test exists for vaccinated blood.
Diane Calmus, vice president of government affairs for America’s Blood Centers in Washington, D.C., said, “The challenge is that there’s no way to tell whether someone’s blood has been vaccinated – there’s no test that exists.”
