The Red Cross says: "Anyone who has received their Covid-19 vaccine cannot donate convalescent plasma to help other Covid-19 patients in hospitals. The vaccine wipes out the antibodies making the convalescent plasma ineffective in treating other Covid-19 patients."

Maybe I should slow down on this subject. But I keep finding more nasty stuff where ever I accidentally look. The crazy doctors say that the vaccine will destroy your immune system. And now I find this gem. It looks like those doctors weren't living in a fantasy land after all.

So people who need blood transfusions will be unable to get one?
So will they just have to die?
COVID-19 Vaccine and Blood Donor Eligibility Information
The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive a COVID-19 vaccination, and deferral times may vary depending on the type of vaccine an individual receives. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. Upon vaccination, you should receive a card or printout indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received, and we encourage you to bring that card with you to your next donation. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation. The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received, including boosters:Please note: The Red Cross, as an organization, is not a healthcare provider and is not administering COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. However, Red Cross volunteers who are medical professionals may work with local authorities to help give vaccinations if their state licenses permit them to do so. In addition, Red Cross teams are currently helping to vaccinate U.S. service members on bases around the world.
- There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
- Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.

COVID-19 Vaccine and Convalescent Plasma Donor Eligibility Information
Individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are not able to donate convalescent plasma with the Red Cross.
However, these individuals may be eligible to donate other blood products with the Red Cross including whole blood and platelets if they meet other donation eligibility criteria.
The Red Cross acknowledges that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did update its guidance regarding convalescent plasma donor eligibility related to those who receive a COVID-19 vaccine. We are evaluating the feasibility and timeline to implement this complex update, alongside the evolving hospital needs for COVID-19 patients. Please know, the Red Cross is committed to building a readily available inventory of convalescent plasma to ensure patients battling COVID-19 have all treatment options available to them.
If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

i can't say this surprises me at all. fact is for many years now most people have been banned from giving blood. there are just so many reasons you are not allowed to donate.
you of course have blood-born communicable diereses and sicknesses. but it doesn't stop there. even if you get a false positive test result for such things, even when KNOWN to be a false positive, you are banned from EVER giving blood again. this happened to a good friend. they gave blood and then were contacted about it. they were told that they had gotten a false positive for some disease. but not to worry, they didn't have it. that they knew it was a false positive through further testing. BUT that they were not allowed to give anymore blood because of it. and if they did try to give blood again, they would be facing criminal charges.
even people who have just traveled to other countries, are banned from giving blood, at least for several months after. because of the slight possibility that they may have come into contact with certain sicknesses and diseases.
then people on many medications are also banned from giving blood. for as long as you take them. because those meds are in the blood, and can be bad for whoever gets said blood. and i suspect this is the reason that they will not accept blood from vaccinated people. especially since according to the WHO and other medical professionals, a vaccinated person can still get, and pass on the covid-19, they just don't get sick (or at least as sick), from it.
this is the reason why they have been pretty much screaming for people to donate for years, since from what i read only about 10% of people are willing to donate. which is bad enough. but far worse when more people are not allowed to give blood in the first place. i believe it's about 60% and not allowed to give blood. which if you only have 10% willing to donate, means there are only 4% that are both willing, and allowed to donate. and that is before this pandemic. i certainly suspect that those who have had covid are banned from giving blood. and now they want to ban those who have had the vaccine from donating. which i suspect after everything is said and done will leave somewhere around 0-1% even allowed to donate, since in just the US close to 34 million people have had it. and 124 million vaccinated, on top of everything else, how many would be left actually being allowed to donate blood?
