I was considering become a #blood donor. This is what Canadian Blood Services wanted me to agree to "Reliance on any information provided by Canadian Blood Services appearing on or provided in relation to this Site is solely at your own risk." So, I can't trust that safeguards promised for me as a donor on their site will be honoured. I decided not to donate blood.

Yeah, I'm aware our experience has not be, unfortunately, unique.
There was a small group on iirc FB who were calling out #CanadianBloodServices at the time, but I think they succumbed to exhaustion, and I can't say I'm surprised. One can only "riss up a pope" for so long.
ALL levels of Health Care in Canada have been infiltrated by these kinds of anti-science grifters.
They should all be made unemployed, immediately.
But, nowhere near enough people even G a F
For decades, I donated regularly until.....
During the all too short span of time where our governments pretended to G a F about covid, I had a donation scheduled.
Wearing a brand new N95, I walked into my local (#Windsor #Ontario #YQG ) #CanadianBloodServices to meet my appointment.
I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I would have to remove my "pointless N95" and instead wear their "more effective surgical mask" (told to me by, might I add, an unmasked "supervisor")
"In what universe is that surgical mask more effective than my N95?" I asked.
She replied "None of it's real anyway"
I left.
I called them out on what was still then Twitter, and on Facebook. All that happened was, they blocked me.
When I contacted CBS at their National Level I was told "we don't manage the affairs of individual facilities".
So, well, fuck #CBS. We should never have privatized.
If you need blood and don't get it, it's their fault.
Let's do this! Time to #donateblood
I’m actually going to use hashtags after my blood donation now that I have Mastodon!
Also, anyone think they should have a punny playlist? My contribution : “You’re So Vein”, “Hot Blooded”
