You Can No Longer Donate Blood If You Have Long Covid
New eligibility criteria in the UK
Long COVID, also referred to as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), is a term used to describe a range of symptoms that continue for weeks or months after the acute phase of a COVID-19 infection has resolved.
Some possible manifestations and symptoms of long COVID include:
Fatigue: Many patients report ongoing, sometimes debilitating, fatigue.
Respiratory Problems: Continued shortness of breath and coughing are common.
Joint and Muscle Pain: Some individuals experience persistent aches and pains.
Neurological Issues: This can include headaches, difficulty concentrating (often referred to as "brain fog"), memory problems, and other cognitive issues.
Heart Problems: These may include palpitations or even more serious conditions like myocarditis.
Mood Changes: Anxiety and depression may be exacerbated or appear anew following infection.
Loss of Taste and Smell: Some individuals continue to experience altered or absent taste and smell for months after recovery.
Gastrointestinal Issues: Problems with the digestive system can persist, including diarrhoea, nausea, and appetite changes.
Sleep Disturbances: Changes to sleep patterns or ongoing insomnia may be present.
Chronic Pain: Some individuals report continued or even new chronic pain.
Multiorgan Effects: Long COVID may affect multiple organ systems simultaneously, leading to a complex and varied set of symptoms.
Autoimmune Responses: There are suggestions that long COVID may sometimes involve overactive or misdirected immune responses, leading to autoimmune-like symptoms.
Some people dismiss Long Covid as something completely made up. Others think it is a mental illness or similar to any post-viral fatigue. Many think it is just another term for long-vax but there are plenty of unvaccinated people on this substack that say they have or have had Long Covid.
Whatever Long Covid is, the Give Blood donation side of the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, don’t want donations from you if you have it. Recently added eligibility criteria for donations tell people that “if you have ongoing symptoms you will be unable to donate. Symptoms may be intermittent and include; Fatigue; Shortness of Breath; Headaches; Dizziness; Confusion; Brain Fog; Pins and Needles; Skin Rashes. This is similar to ME or CFS.
COVID-19:
•Ages the vascular endothelium.
•Decimates mitochondria and good gut bacteria.
•Can cause hair loss and graying.
•Can trigger new-onset diabetes.
•Can trigger ME/CFS and POTS.
•Damages gray matter in the brain in a manner equivalent to years of aging, particularly in the parahippocampal gyrus, affecting spatial memory formation.
•Can cause permanent changes to olfaction.
•Can cause persistent amyloid microclotting that starves organs of oxygenated blood long after the virus is cleared.
•Alters lipid metabolism and sweat gland function.
•Can, in some cases, cause bone marrow suppression and persistent lymphopenia or pancytopenia.
I’m tired of watching people say “Long COVID is all in people’s heads”, because these effects are subtle and debilitating in a way that is easily dismissed out of hand. How many people will never be able to rejoin the workforce effectively due to disabilities brought on by PASC?
Economic bioweapon. Casualties are harder to treat than kills.
If you’ve had COVID-19, I cannot stress this enough; take blood thinners (especially fibrinolytic enzymes, like Natto-Serra, but only if you don’t have any contraindications like a bleeding disorder), antioxidants, and probiotics. You’ll thank me later.
The Virus Safe/Vax Dangerous and Vax Safe/Virus Dangerous dichotomy is a false one. They are both dangerous. The Spike generated by the vaccine has the same exact cardiotoxic, amyloidogenic, LPS-binding, autoimmunity-promoting, oncogenic motifs as the Spike in the virus. The conspirators just want innocent people fighting and arguing over trivial nonsense while they’re crippled and killed, and it’s infuriating to see.
Here are Long Covid symptoms and the impacts on numerous organs with differing pathology from Nature.
This was known about in 2005 when studying SARS 1.
SARS viral particles and genomic sequence were detected in a large number of circulating lymphocytes, monocytes, and lymphoid tissues, as well as in the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract, the mucosa of the intestine, the epithelium of the renal distal tubules, the neurons of the brain, and macrophages in different organs. SARS virus seemed to be capable of infecting multiple cell types in several organs; immune cells and pulmonary epithelium were identified as the main sites of injury. A comprehensive theory of pathogenesis is proposed for SARS with immune and lung damage as key features.
Bioweapon? Vaccine injury? Both? Made up? Whatever you think about Long Covid, with an estimated 1.9 million people experiencing it in the UK (3% of the population), this means a lot fewer people will be donating blood, putting stress on precious resources.
It would be interesting to hear from people who think they have had or still have Long Covid. Let us know if you are vaccinated or unvaccinated and whether you were vaccinated or unvaccinated when you first started experiencing symptoms. It would also be helpful to know how severe your original Covid symptoms were.
My son had a terrible case of Covid, whatever that is, now has fatigue, intestinal problems, feels faint when he’s hungry ( pre diabetic?) has no health insurance so can’t even get a blood test. Tried to get medical care & got billed $40,000. He’s a lymphoma survivor. He had to declare bankruptcy. What kind of a country gives medical care to illegal people but treats citizens like this?
i.e., you should not be allowed to donate blood if you have been injected, especially those boosted up the ying-yang.
