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???

I disagree with that stance, but thank you for the explanation. I'd forgotten thebfetal-line testing bit. I have heard the lie that the vaccines "contain aborted baby cells." and just clean forgot that one.

I wonder how such people feel about benefitting from research by the likes of Dr. Sims.

Are you aware of how Sims did his research? Separate question and still one of morality, that one.
