Canadian Blood Services in talks around paid donations of plasma as supply dwindlesThe organization says the number of people who donate blood regularly dropped by 31,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving it with the smallest donor base in a decade. Surprisingly, anti-maskers are not the most altruistic people on the planet. Interesting group to cater to when you rely on selflessness for your sustainability. The agency did it to itself with its no mask policy. Where is the accountability? Where are the directors? No surprise to anyone aware of the agreement likely to be signed with Spanish private pharma giant Grifols to run private clinics in Canada to collect plasma, process it, and SELL IT BACK to Canadian Blood Services at a profit. This is huge and should be of concern to everyone.
