Really interesting that apparently blood and blood components are being exported and yet I think that I hear at least once a month that there is a "blood shortage" in the US or in some particular state and a huge effort to urge people to go donate blood.

This is misleading. They mostly talk about plasma, which most donors get paid to donate. Lots of people donate plasma twice a week to supplement income. There is also red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets collections. Both of those are on critical shortages and are usually a volunteer donation (not paid). Platelets only have a shelf life of 7 days and one of those days is sucked up with testing.

If you donate, donate to a local blood collection center where the blood will stay at local hospitals. The local blood centers will advertise which hospitals they serve in the community or you can ask your local hospital where they get RBCs and platelets from.

Edit: I should mention that you Can actually donate for yourself. If you have a procedure coming up and know which local blood center provides the blood, you can arrange to donate for yourself. Friends and family can also donate for you (assuming compatible blood type). So if you have a procedure and worried about vaxxed blood, donate for yourself.

Would you want a transfusion from someone whose blood contains spike proteins, graphene nanofilaments and god knows what else?

Interesting... There's always a financial component it seems. I never donated blood because I was always too thin. Thought I might pass out. Plus, I hate needles. Glad I didn't now.

I don’t give my blood to the vampires/jews anymore.

The blood drive shit was so weird to me as a kid. It seemed a bit sinister.
