The U.S. government Thursday eased restrictions on blood donations from gay men and other key groups because of a drop in the nation's blood supply triggered by the coronavirus outbreak.
The Food and Drug Administration's new policy aims to allow tens of thousands more Americans to give blood, including gay and bisexual men and people with recent tattoos and piercings.
"We want and we need healthy people all healthy people to give blood," said Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, who announced the changes in a media briefing with the FDA.

US Eases Blood Donation Limits for Gay Men Due to Shortage Cause what we need right now is more AIDS, Hepatitis, Herpes, Chlamydia and other nasty diseases.
No. Keep the perverts out of the blood supply.

I’ll wager military and dependents exposed to bovine spongiform encephalopathy in the 80s are still excluded from any and all blood, plasma, organ donations, regardless if over 5 times the incubation period has elapsed since anyone was even diagnosed with the illness.
But you can get you some fresh tattoo or gay blood right on tap!

I guess Bill Clinton’s little example when he allowed gays and prisoners in Arkansas to sell their blood to be used on the hemophiliacs in Canada wasn’t explicit enough.
To: nickcarraway
Time for more autologous donations, if you can.

I can just imagine our “affirmative action” surgeon general sharing a hotel room with Andrew Gillum. My reliable “gaydar” tells me so. We are talking three dollar bill surgeon general.

Not great for people who need blood untainted by diseases.

Gay men with AIDS will be the first to line up so they can share their “experience”. This is just suicidal.

Yep. those democrats never let a crisis go to waste.
Look for other crap they have wanted to get away with that will be shoved down our throats while we are in quarantine.

Per the Huff Post, Mad Cow restrictions lifted, too.
But I’ll see if I can find an additional source.
