You can save lives while earning some money!In the fifteen or so years that I lived in China, I was fascinated by the dystopian tales of that country’s plasma economy. Even the name seemed too strange for it to have been a reality. It was real, of course.
The farmers of Henan sold their blood plasma at a frenzied pace, and when HIV entered the corrupted system, as many as a million people were infected. By the time I met the whistleblowers Wang Shuping and Gao Yaojie in the United States, I had developed a smug conviction that our system here was much better, or at least a little kinder. There’s a mental deception that happens when you live outside your own country for a long time, when you begin to idealize home and see past its faults.
Even though we have millions of people in America who sell their blood plasma either as a temporary fix or for long-term in- come, we don’t know what that does to their bodies. Absent robust, independent scientific studies, there are endless anecdotes: stories of fainting, of being too weak to work, of feeling like they’re recovering from the flu.
In the richest country in history, there are people who are reduced to this. A society is judged on how it treats its most vulnerable, we fail.
Donations are voluntary in Canada with no payment allowed.
The same people who voted against publicly-funded health care will sell their blood to buy groceries.
Here in Chile I have to wait 3 months between donations. And its ilegal to sell blood, al donations are voluntary
I'm going to make a fortune off this. I'm a pureblood, baby. No vax in these veins. That and my sperm. About to become a valuable commodity.
Thank god the smartest among us never got vaccinated
