"gun violence" cited as a major contributing factor. When they stop talking bullshit maybe I'll listen.

I donate when i can, the problem here is that there are no donation centers unless and until the blood bank sends the bus down from Anchorage.

How can there be a shortage when the price they pay is zero? That’s like saying there is a shortage of free gas. I would imagine the average hospital stay that requires a transfusion is in the tens of thousands. Pay $50 for a pint of blood and the shortage would disappear.

Blood banks can’t pay for blood as it would theoretically entice people to lie on the pre donation screening questions, which includes a lot of high risk activity/travel. Although they do give away items.. movie tickets, ice cream vouchers, etc….

Really, and what efforts are being pursued to ensure those who don't want the jab by proxy don't cop it. And don't bother telling me your version of the "science" Idaho shooter. (just getting in before him)
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

A false positive Hepitious C took me off the Red Cross list.
I was over five gallons at that time.

I quit donating at 21 gallons. Veins were getting pretty scarred and it got tougher and tougher to recuperate. I'm O- and as such was in critical demand. The Red Cross would call me the morning of the first day I was eligible to give again and ask what time that day I could be there.
I feel a bit guilty about no longer being a donor, but I feel I did more than my share.

I'm at 58 units, 7.25 gallons, often do double reds, O+ so they certainly let me know when eligible.
Critical need is critical need it's not about the stupid article writer it's about people in a hospital that need blood.

I feel like it’s us old guys (40 and over) donating blood, need to get the young crowd giving as well.

I used to donate until some idiot nurse jammed me three times and finally found a vein. She had to be blind, I’m pretty vascular, my vein stand way out in my arms. I was really sore and bruised.

I quit when my nephew crashed my 4 wheeler and they charged him $3800/ unit of blood
If I'm not paid, the blood should be free to those who get it.
