The Refuse Blood Bill
Patients can refuse blood with COVID spikes, providers get immunity
Blood and Organ Donation
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would force labs to test donated blood and organs for COVID spikes, label them, let patients say no, and fine violators.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should support the bill because it adds safety checks and choice, but watch the immunity clause that could shield providers from blame if problems arise.
