We wanted to “bank blood” for our mom during the height of the vax insanity (because we did not want her to have tainted blood either). It was not going to be an easy process by any means! So for anyone concerned about transfusions, I would research well in advance of any planned surgery what you need to do! Thankfully, my mom chose not to have the surgery so it became a moot point.

Autologous donation was the way to go before an elective procedure even pre-jabs. Seems to be more resistance to that approach now; well, except for the ortho docs.

My husband refused the shot and banked his blood before his colon cancer surgery in 2021.

I second what Jeanne said re: researching this well in advance. We looked into banking my daughter's blood before an elective surgery, and it's a paperwork nightmare that has to be started months in advance.

If you push hard enough, and have a cooperative doc, it can be done in as little as 3 weeks. Contact your local blood bank directly for assistance! (Just don’t mention unvaxxed blood.) Everyone knows it’s safer to use you own…
