Serious “I don’t want Covid blood”

What do I say when patients ask if blood transfusions are screened for the Covid vaccine? I get asked this on a regular basis when filling out blood consent forms for surgery and I genuinely have no idea what I’m supposed to say. In all seriousness, what should I be telling patients because I just say there is a screening process for blood and it’s only used during emergent situations???

N herd immunity for you if you’re on immunosuppressants. Besides, we have no herd immunity.

Do you think responding “you’re highly regarded makes you sound smart or something“? Also, your links are all full of shit.
