December 30, 1983 I had to have a transfusion of two units of blood at a DC hospital. No one in the public knew about AIDS at the time. A week later I delivered twins.
A year or so later, I read about a woman in Wheeling, VW, who’d had a transfusion that same day and died of AIDS. He I received the blood she did that day, not only I but my two sons would have been infected.
Messing with regulations affecting the national blood supply is incredibly foolish. Untold numbers of people will be infected and of them, many will die, all for the cause of political correctness and thanks to the power of the gay lobby and a POTUS who caters to that constituency.
No it’s not. I don’t consider it discrimination that they refuse to take my blood due to my pulse being too high. That is something that has about nothing to do with my behavior. Their whining about all the kinds of stuff makes me sick.
It is not just death, and here’s the real kicker: You will be sentenced to an expensive drug regimen for life to slow down and suppress the progress of HIV nowadays, even with the reductions thanks to being insured, it’s anything but cheap. So now, they want you to have a disease that financially will screw you for the rest of your life, in addition to already screwing with our national economy.
That’s not neccessarily good, if you get a strain of the virus from someone else taking HIV medication, then you are incubating a new strain in the recipients’ body that is resistant or immune to the drug treatments.
I know what you mean — but, it most certainly is “discrimination”. What it isn’t is “unfair discrimination”, or “unwarranted discrimination”, or “unreasonable discrimination”, etc.
Most of us have five senses precisely so that we can discriminate. We discriminate between things that are harmful and things that are helpful to us. We do that continuously, as a matter of survival. Our whole species depends on our powers of discrimination.
There is no “right” to donate blood. They must discriminate against high risk lifestyles for the sake of the people receiving the blood or WHAT IS THE POINT of getting it?
many people will now be refusing transfusions
They are just so selfish that they would rather put sick people at risk in order to rid themselves of the “high risk” label. But truth is still the truth even if liars deny it.
“many people will now be refusing transfusions”
or, more likely getting designated donations, or putting aside their own blood for future transfusions. I.e., churches will have a drive, or call for volunteers to donate and designate their blood donation for a member, rather than have the member taking from the general pool of blood donations. It doesn’t eliminate the cost, just the risk.
It is irrational to even attempt to debate or argue with them. A "no" will be much better understood by them if it is accompanied by a good beating, and it should probably include the warning that they'll get another, and more severe if they dare suggest such a thing again.
But alas I think we have become a nation of pansies who will not object strenuously enough to any suggestion, no matter how destructive or insane.
Clinton tainted the Canadian blood supply back in the mid-90’s; remember that?
1 in 5 Gay me. Have HIV and half don’t know it.
What could go wrong?

Because I was stationed in Germany more than thirty years ago, I am forever banned from donating blood.
But the faggies make their demands to infect the blood suppply & call those who object “homophobic”.
Geez....!
Let’s see if I have this right.
It is a woman’s right to do as she wishes with her own body when it comes to abortion.
It is a drug addicts right to put whatever they choose in their bodies.
It is everybody’s right to know what ingredients are in any food we consume and put in our bodies.
It is our right to refuse vaccinations being put into our bodies.
But, we have no right to know where blood being put into our bodies in a hospital came from??
I'd have to be practically dead before I'm taking any faggot blood into my body. AIDS isn't half the story - hep C and other kinds of nastiness that are blood borne.
Also, it is possible to bank your own blood. Ask the red cross for info.
Thas a Fact!
I don’t want their diseases, thank you, but NO!
I don’t thing homosexual/bisexuals should be donating blood as a rule.
It is a dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle. THey will infect many non-homo’ with aids, which is the whole point.
