The American Red Cross is now asking blood donors if they ever received the Covid vaccine. If you answer Yes, they want you to call ahead to see if you’re still eligible.

I think this is fake news but it'd be great if it was true. But really the Rosicrucians (Red Cross) don't ask if you're vaccinated, plus how would they know if someone told the truth anyway? Best to assume if you got a blood transfusion you're vaccinated.

Probably. But still: If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate ... Knowing the name of the manufacturer of the vaccine is important in determining your blood donation eligibility.

Good catch that's true. It says:

There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.

It sounds like they don't care if you got the DNA changing type of vaccine which as we know isn't a vaccine but they do want to not use blood that has a real vaccine in it, like a weak form of covid which is what we traditionally called a vaccine. That's good! We wouldn't want to be injected with blood that had a virus in it. But we don't want the myocarditis DNA shot either.
