Sometimes blood transfusions are inevitable, e.g., for serious surgeries, car crashes, major accidents etc. Most of the times, in most countries, the patient is not allowed to choose the blood that will be given to them.
“Where does blood for a blood transfusion come from?
Typically, the blood comes from an anonymous person who has donated it for use as hospitals see fit. A blood bank holds the blood until needed for a transfusion.
In some cases, though, people donate blood to directly benefit a friend or loved one. You may also have the chance to bank your own blood for a scheduled surgery.”
This would be the best solution, but unfortunately not always applicable, and not allowed in many countries’ legislations/regulations: “In some cases, you can donate blood for yourself before elective surgery, but most transfusions involve blood donated by strangers. An identification check will ensure you receive the correct blood.”
There are many risks associated with blood transfusions. Here’s a link on that: New Health Advisor - New Health Advisor for Daily Health Care.
My main concern on this topic is the mass vaccination of people with mRNA vaccines after the covid-19 nonsense. In the likely case that one receives blood donated from unknown people, there’s high risk that the person donated that blood could be vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines. How dangerous would receiving blood from vaccinated people be?
I will have to have at least two major surgeries in the unknown future. The surgeons will most likely give blood during the procedure, as it happened before (that was before covid), and patients are not allowed to choose blood that will be given to them in my country. You can’t harvest your own blood, and you can’t have the blood of someone you choose (like a relative or someone you trust). This is why I am wondering this issue.
