Yeah, they sell it to the hospitals to cover their costs.
Is that all they're doing is covering costs? Or are they making a profit? Because I can't sell my blood directly to the hospitals, I have to go through the blood donation orgs as a middleman.
Yes. They make a profit and take it in form of salary.
The average salary for American Red Cross employees is $70,435 per year
That's a very high salary that comes with vacation time and benefits.
You can give blood directly to a hospital if you don't want to deal with red cross or other blood orgs. Any local hospital in your area will be more than happy to take your donation.
They can pay.
To your point, at the very least they're throttling the open market to prevent competition from rising.
How about Plasma.......this scam has me wondering. People sell so much plasma...poor people usually....that they become anemic. Places like CSL plasma. What are they doing with THAT shit.........And why so much? I see waiting lines of crack heads waiting to make their $$$$. Whbat the fuck is happening to all that Plasma?
AS I UNDERSTAND IT they don't use the raw plasma as it is, they use parts of it to make different "medicines." That's my understanding or what they told me when i did that many years ago. Also as i understand it, the pharma corps pay THOUSANDS and all your ass gets is some piddly little thirty bucks or whatever
Sounds like a job for Project Veritas.
They are giving you nothing for your blood, and then selling it for a shitton of money. Who cannot be a VERY profitable business by selling stuff they get for free? Only maybe a biden
blood donation uses large gauge needles like 16 or 17 gauge. do that over and over in the same spot and you can get scarring and damage of the veins. hospitals pay red cross $2-300 per unit. hospitals use 41k units per day, or 15.7 million per year. so $3.925b rev.
They are selling it to make drugs with. Donations are like 20% used for people. There is a documentary I’ll have to find it
Interesting. Please let me know if you do find it.
This is not relevant to blood but red cross international has received abysmal scores for having diverted donations to an underground bunker with ammo boxes filled with us dollars in cash, meaning that someone in that organization was bascally stealing. The video is still out there. I blew my fucking top when I saw it. I have given both blood sweat and tears to red cross over the years.
And this is not a bullshit fake news thing. The boxes were labeled red cross, and I am not sure where they found this but iirc it was in a central or south american country, or possibly haiti.
AFter the haiti earthquake, tons of red cross international donations were diverted and I believe they said red cross Haiti only gave 1-3% of their donations to actual victims of the earthquake. Haiti Red Cross initials are HRC btw. Funny coincidence. Also, Clinton foundation was found wanting and got bad nonprofit grade for haiti also, as you may recall. Same reason.
The RC international is much more corrupt than US red cross but USRC has problems not giving their donations to people also, or waste/fraud/abuse and moeny laundering also.
Pretty much that's the red pill on corrupt 'fake' and 'semifake' charities. I don't give to big charity anymore. I give to PEOPLE. Or local charities.
Actually habitat for humanity is a good charity with little corruption. Everyone should just give it all to them. Even salvation army is shit.
Nonwhites (sickle cell) and faggots (every STD known to man) are allowed to give blood, too. Don’t do it.
Sickle cell is excluded, so is HIV. Gay people who are HIV negative are now allowed to give blood. They screen for stuff, but also they ask you and if you lie and give blood, well, if it's not a crime, you'll be on their shitlist which means you'll be on EVERY corporations' shitlist and bad shit will start happening to you until you end up dying in an unusual crash or killing yourself unexpectedly. So the moral is disclose your relevant medical info or don't give blood.
The hospital treated my kids cord/cord blood like it was gold and had to ask me permission to keep it. Same with the placenta I think. Cord and cord blood for sure they asked to keep it.
Interesting. Wonder what would of happened if you said no?
They give it to you in a bag. We have our daughters cord.
My last child was in 91. They just whisked it off, no questions asked.
Ive also heard of hippie types planting a tree with the placenta
Holy shit, lol. I remember that thing being 10 lbs of purple veined alien plop. Burying it would be the preferred option I guess.
Well then you can say, thats your tree, kid. You fed it when it was growing at a very important time, and so on.
I got a tree from my youngest in the yard. Good times. Just trying to wrap my head around taking home a placenta.
thats another rabbit hole we/I need to dig into the umbilical cords blood. Is it cut off too early? If it were not cut off would the blood integrate into the baby? If the blood does go into babies what is the difference in a baby that kept the cord on until the blood integrated and ones where its cut right away? What effect does this have?
Doulas and Midwives know the benefit of letting the blood completely finish going into the baby and then cutting. It's a huge difference. Dig down that hole.
There are lots of pluripotent stem cells in that stuff. These cells can turn into nearly any other type of cell. In theory, even whole organs.
Yes it is a scam. No I dont have any info.
