Yes, but there’s a restriction based on sexual activity. Donors who are transgender will be unable to donate if they’ve had sex with a male or transgender partner in the last 12 months.

My blood has too many chemotherapy drugs in it which really you think would be like a good thing like hey a free cancer booster shot with your transfusion but that's big pharma for you.

Okay I know that's not the reason they don't take the blood.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Do they still have rules against THC for blood donations. If I was getting a transfusion I would be specifically requesting stoner blood

I guess in theory, if someone took a run of huge bong hits (I'm talking about getting so high you might poo poo yourself here), waited like 20 mins for it to really soak in, and then gave blood before their liver could filter the cannabinoids out, that blood might feasibly get someone high? Say there's 1/10th of the ~5L of blood in a human body in a pint of blood, you'd have to get 5 times as high as the person you're giving the blood to and tbh that thought horrifies me.

Every few years I try to donate and they turn me away. I keep hoping they change the rules but yeah.

You can't make an Omelet without breaking a few eggs. Vote Greens.
Since I'm apparently one of the three auspollians who is able to donate, clearly I'm obliged to now, heh.

I'll need to find a time that'll work for me, though...

Pre-schools face uncertain future as 'no jab, no play' vaccination rules threaten enrolments


quote:

Early childhood educators in one of Australia's anti-vaccination hotspots are warning a "no jab, no play" policy could have serious unintended consequences.

Since January, unvaccinated children have been banned from enrolling in pre-schools in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, and the policy will start having a practical effect from next year.

Some pre-schools in northern NSW, which has one of Australia's lowest vaccination rates, have told 7.30 their enrolments are down.

"What are we doing with the kids that are missing out?" Pauline Hurcombe, director of the Mount Warning Community Pre-School at Uki, said.

"Where's the policy for them?"

Hopefully their parents just fuckin immunise their kids? Because the kids that can't get vaccinations don't deserve to get sick because you're afraid of little Billy getting jabbed when there's autism in the mercury?
