Anti-vaxxers are trying to create a new global infrastructure for the supply of unvaccinated blood, driven by conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific beliefs about the dangers of mRNA COVID vaccines.
- SafeBlood Donation was founded by a Swiss naturopath, George Della Pietra, who considers global coronavirus vaccination campaigns to be “the crime of the century.”
- The medical consensus is that there’s no risk of harm from being transfused with blood from people who have had the COVID vaccine.
Building Pressure
- In an attempt to build pressure on medical authorities to allow directed donations, SafeBlood Donation members are writing to authorities requesting them to change their policies.
- The group also advises its members who are due to have medical treatment involving transfusions to draw up "living wills" stating that they do not consent to receiving transfusions of blood from the general supply, naming unvaccinated individuals as direct donors instead.
The group claims to be gaining momentum and plans to eventually have a large presence in most countries.
- Della Pietra would not reveal the group's membership numbers to VICE World News, but claims the group is gaining momentum.
- The group plans to promote the initiative in nationally organized SafeBlood channels on Telegram, the messaging app popular in anti-vax and COVID conspiracy theorist networks
- Medical experts have suggested that the group’s efforts are unlikely to bear fruit. They said they are aware of growing requests for unvaccinated blood, but were rejecting such requests.
