Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: Big Pharma's Blood Plasma Business | Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Why is blood worth more than oil? For impoverished Americans, blood donations have become a source of income - presenting a real risk to their health, as they lie about their health conditions and donate repeatedly to make ends meet.
Plasma, a component of blood that is highly sought-after, now costs more litre per litre than petrol. Used by pharmaceutical companies to create expensive medications, this precious liquid has become a lucrative commodity.
The film investigates one of the largest corporations in this flourishing market, with profits soaring over a billion euros. Their donation centres are mostly found in poor neighbourhoods in the U.S., and they pay donors for their blood, a practice forbidden in Europe.
Other donors give their blood in the hope of helping others- but the reality of where their donations actually go can be somewhat different. We investigate the global trade in blood and plasma donations.
This documentary was produced by POINT PROD and directed by MARIE MAURISSE, FRANÇOIS PILET, PIERRE MONNARD. It was first released in 2017.

You could cover the suicide/ organ donor American organ harvesting social media/Catholic Nazi Disneyland healthcare and republican mandates presented by Democrat attorney/politicians.
My mother's life was saved by a blood transfusion 47 years ago at a Kaiser hospital in California. I am very grateful for that one time use of blood.. Considering that the hospital released her with a ripped open stomach! They had to fix her up! Now that I have learned of this horrible use of poor people's blood who give and give blood to the point of their bodies becoming weak, there's something wrong with this whole set up! The recipient of this blood can pay thousands of dollars and the poor donor who desperately needs the money thinks that he or she is helping to save someones life, including their own for practically free?? Come on now! This is nothing but the rich getting richer from the poor. Same old story. We are talking BILLIONS of DOLLARS!! I really had my heart set on being an organ donor, not any more! Before you decide to do that, find out who is making the money from your donated organs.. No thanks, I'd rather be buried intact the way I was born.
That's exactly how I feel about it too! I want to be buried 100% intact & the way the good Lord created me. I have told everyone in my family this too. The only way I'll ever donate a body part is if a relative is sick & needs it. That's it! Period!
My brother had bad eyes and in his 40s he had his cataracts replaced. He wasn't rich. Just a truck driver who needed to see so he could drive and make money to support his family of 5. Thank God for organ donations. Many people have had a second chance at life. Keep donating your organs and help someone. Your body's useless in the ground
@@grandma3442 same here. Just relatives.
ive recently read that organ donors who are unconscious or vegetative but are alive, are given a paralytic but no pain medication whatsoever. in the rare cases where the ppl have come around by some miracle, they describe feeling every single bit of the procedure. its so horrendous one couldnt imagine but we arent told so. i was on the donor list. not anymore.
@@grandma3442 The body heals itself. Herbs, oils, vegetable greens etc. My spouse takes a block box medicine that causes worse symptoms, possible cancer, stroke, than the med is prescribed for. Like people say, "your body your choice" and RIP to someone that abuses themselves or allows an MD to do it. Shear fear is what they use. Kinda like a terrorist.
I used to work at CSL plasma. The stories I could tell. This documentary does not even scratch the service.
Please tell more.
Do tell
write a book
Yes, enlighten us all please, we need to know more.
Tell us!!
Share with everyone, I have been a Registered Nurse for 40 years and upset about hospitals charges for blood transfusions.
Now this..... criminal.
Sue, American Healthcare institutions, Pharmaceutical and Insurance Co's are Corporate Mafia, which our government not only made legal, but supports, endorses and makes laws to give them all power to do as they will. In return their loyal supporters get untold amount of money in bribes labeled as donations..Masses of American people are dumbed down, desensitized sheep, still claiming that's the greatest country on earth...
I was once loved to helped others but sorry when someone are doing a good deed for saving lives while others are gaining riches such a shame
your a registered nurse don't you realize cancer is curable diabetes is a simple carbohydrate change don't get me started on AIDS ... why do you think candy is knee high at every single gas station and convenient store to mold our children to have diabetes!?!?!!???! wake up everything is like this all our freedoms are being stripped away daily
mehhhhh at age 60+ your savings is gone from medical issues trying to stay alive 65 your killed off. covid is the latest,! this is global. if your not working like a slave and contributing 60%to the crown your exterminated .why do you think covid was released
That's crazy have been on the end of a emergency transfusion, vein to vein, save people's lives not be a greedy ghoul the fk is the matter with those people
@@benkeilman4014 I'm not understanding what you're saying.
I always felt a twist in my gut ; a sinking stone... That screamed "Don't do it" whenever I was asked if I wanted to be a donor and I never quite understood why but I am so very grateful for it!!!!✨✨✨
@@Redeemed3yea right that's for vampires
I used to work for the Red Cross as a traveling phlebotomist. We often went to high school blood drives, and people as young as 16 years old donated blood. I guarantee you this ends up at Ambrosia, where they infuse old people with young people's blood to "reverse aging". I guarantee these pharmaceutical companies, these blood plasma centers, and these sick pukes that decided to use young people's blood to have a spa experience are making huge bank off of free donations. I would be very worried for my teenager that had potent blood. I bet you that some people that go missing went missing because of the power in their blood or happened to be an organ match. So sad. I woke up one day while at a blood drive and realized how many billions they were making off of free donations, and I gave my notice.
Wouldn't have been better to stay and collect info aka the mole I say I gave all my beauty and good to my children as birthing takes our girlish bodies and makes them undesirable and all that is left is the hurt and pain others inflict on u mentally verbally and physically. Will we wake up I'm not saying woke they are fakers fools useful idiots who are delivering our children up as that sacrificial lambs, not understanding but they will be next.
At least you had a conscience and didn't keep working for them!
Digital medical records make it easy to target/shop for specific traits among vulnerable people.
@@DebbieDowe sickening. People need to wake up. This is real and it is happening. It's not pleasant to look at but it needs to come to light. We are in the age if revealing the true meaning of Revelations. It's time to wake up to these horrific practices.
That's a new one, how creepy
There needs to be a more sinister level of hell for pharmaceutical executives
Totally agree
Or a 50 BILLION dollar class action law suit.
THERE IS, AND THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TOO IT.
If any level of hell is as creepy as some dreams I've had, it would be unbearable. You wouldn't wish it on the worst human that ever lived.
Yes, I believe so. 🤔
Or anybody in healthcare practicing unethical procedures, it happens more than you may think.
The fact they give a credit card rather than cash is another controlling aspect. Excellent investigative reporting.
Good point.
They want to see what is motivating you. What are you buying now.
Control
@@sabrinanorthern2518 excellent point..
Likely many forget or unable to get the credit later, which profits the company even more. Why leave without verifying the card is credited by scanning it at the exit door before leaving?
Man I used to work for Hoxworth blood and also lived around the corner from a cash for plasma center in Cincinnati. This episode just hit home so hard for me. Thank you for doing this.
I gave blood to them during the covid shutdowns, and now they call me constantly hahahahaha. I went to that same plasma place near cincy and they def gave that odd vibe to me.
I never understood why people donate blood. You give it away for free but they sell it for a huge profit. And when you need what you have away for free...you pay for it? Does that make any sense?!
Sell it to private companies for more than they pay them..
Marketing for blood donation is indicative of war.
It used to be if you were a donor and you needed blood it was free.
I did not know that components of blood are used to make drugs now that’s a revelation!
U right but they sneaky and say blood work 7tubes !!!!
I'm happy to see someone reporting on this horrific industry.
It’s so degrading what these reporters must deal w/ to have police called on them…
Horrific? It saves lives and was a civic responsible thing to do when it was free but now that the same person that gave for free now gets paid and can afford to buy food it's somehow wrong. Wtf. They are using it to make medicine would you rather we have no medicine.
@@brandonluther80 I think you are missing the point. I would feel differently if they charged a reasonable amount for the end product or better yet pay people a fair amount based on projected profits rather than exploiting people who desperately need money. Also paid plasma donation has been around for a long time. It isn't new by any means. I have personally donated plasma and I know how much of a toll it takes on the body.
@@kamarieshines I went last week to donate plasma. When I was done I felt fine. Stopped at the gas station pumping my gas and had a vasovagal response. Felt sick to my stomach sweating profusely. Started vomiting. I thought it was because I didn't eat or drink enough before hand. Had an appointment today was in the parking lot put the car in reverse and drove back home.
@@jordanransom3022 That's a real reporter. Most are bought and on the other side...not a noble profession any longer.
This was a hugely needed exposure of pharmaceuticals. Can you plant a mole in the company? Well done.
Can plant a mole not funny but made me chuckle those moles usually turn and join them $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The truth 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And we know the old say wish in one hand 💩in the other see which fills up first..
ya we are falling less & less 4 family & community as they divide us with laws & prejudice of one's color once economical standing one's legal or illegal use of pharmaceutical drugs.um I THINK 20ft either side of power lines is gov/power company property as is streets it over laps all PROPERTY'S lines ALL. A BETTER WAY WOULD GET THOSE THAT DONATE ON MORAL ISSUES AKA FOR FREE AND DONATE THE PAY TO INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THERE FOR WON'T BE OUTTA PLACE WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS INTO THESE COMPANIES AND THERE STANDING AS PERSONS ISNT QUESTIONED BECAUSE THOSE DESPITE (TO CALL THEM POOR IS A CRIME ) THE WORST WE AS HUMANS CAN CALL ANOTHER IT BE MORE HUMAN TO CALL THEM PREY. THEY GREAT U EACH DAY WITH A SMILE NO MATTER WHAT 💩LIFE DISHES THEM THEM FOLKS DONT QUESTION THEY EXIST..IT PISSES ME OFF)
ITS NOT THE PERSON ITS THE NATURE OF THE DRUG IT TURNS GOOD FOLKS INTO MONSTER'S IT DOESNT EVEN CARE ABOUT ITS USER SUCKING THE SOUL FIRST AND THEN ITS LIFE.
A TRUE PARISITE ON HUMANITY....
ITS NOT THE 1% MORE LIKE THE 0.25 % AND THEY ARE TRULY MONSTER'S WHO KNOW WHO HAVE THE DATA WHO ACT LIKE LOOK AT ME IM HELPING THE POOR THE HUNGRY THE AFFLICTED NO BABY THEY ARE MINING DATA AND EXPERIMENTING WITH NO REGARDS TO THE LIVES LOST THE SO CALLED RICH SEMI RICH UPPER CLASS MIDDLE CLASS DEM BLUE REP RED,
WHITE BLACK JUST USEFUL IDIOTS WHO WILL face the same fate as us peasants unless we stand United putting all that divide us aside just for today to end there reign of terror on all of man kind. If we r as secure as nations tell their people they are how do as much of said illegal drugs find its way to every street corner in every nation in the qualities needed to fulfill the appetite out there and it's out there in the hood to the gated from the educated to the illiterate from the homeless to the mansion.
I could go on but on days like today I ask why everyone is on death's door bangging to get in and they are laughing hysterically as they herd us there. By hook & crook.
Hi
Ban farm subsidies. Let everyone that wants use an acre of free tax free land to grow their own food and live on . They/Health insurance should fund healthy lifestyle and land to grow food, not just fund big pharma. Real healthcare includes diet and lifestyle, not just drugs and surgery.
I guess people could join o'keefe media group (omg)and do their own undercover investigation . I doubt the workers know very much, though. They probably are in the dark as well.
They do this all the time to poor aborted babies, and their mothers who are exploited in the name of "womens rights" but it's anything but
My father was killed at a routine blood transfusion. He walked in Duke Medical Center for 2 scheduled bags of blood to bring up his hemoglobin. I JUST saw him briefly the day before passed in the hall at Duke hospice. My beautiful younger, non smoking brother was dying of lung cancer and since it was during covid shutdowns, only 2 people could be in the room with my brother the entire 2 week period. The next day, as I held my dear brother's hand, I got a phone call. " your father just died" !!!! What, I just saw him walking strong and determined to see his son, but after his 1st bag of blood he got very sick. He was dead by that evening. Duke admitted the blood was tainted, after 2 weeks. They had their Risk Management team tell us. They blamed the blood bank. They knew I was modified and broken. Thanks to the laws and Duke's power, I was unable to get Justice for my father in any way. I can only get peace by believing he was there to greet my brother 2 days later.
I'm so sorry for your loss. What happened? Was it a mismatch?
@@JamieVocalLand tainted with bacteria, can you believe that? I spoke with about 6 attorneys, but the laws now protect the medical industry. They ALL wanted the case until they saw how Duke managed to make it too risky to sue. That's DUKE MEDICAL CENTER! The only justice I can get for my father is to tell any and everyone... and thank you, very sincerely.... btw, the bacteria is actually florescent when seen under a microscope. Why did it take them all day to bother looking? That's the 1st thing they should have done.
Vlrissolo I am so sorry that happened to your father its awful much love and condolences to you
@@teresacondon33333 thank you. That really means a lot❤
Sorry
This is so true I've worked security at one CS Plasma they are in the poorest part of the city, and clearly most are on drugs. My soul just wouldn't let me continue to work there.
Yes this is true
It's called a conscious
When I Moved to Mobile Al I could never understand why there were so many plasma centers around. These poor people actually use these centers for income! I knew something wasn’t right.
@@monicamcfry5041 How do you like Mobile otherwise?
Damn you can donate plasma while on drugs ? I thought u had to be 100 percent clean to donate anything at all!! They really are taking advantage of these people 😒 disgusting. People will do ANYTHING for money. God will give then what they deserve belive that. This world is run by horrendous evil people. We all know where they belong.
A friend of mine donated his plasma weekly because his wife passed away due to deficiency of blood plasma. He is well in his 80’s. He is very frail and faithful because he thinks he is doing a service to help people. He has been doing this for years. It hurts my heart to learn the truth about this business money making from innocent people like my 80 years old friend.
There is a cut off age for giving plasma . I believe it's 67. How is it they (blood bank) continue to let him donate?
@@mjb3694 greed. don't be surprised, they take blood from growing children in high school too
I hope you tell him about this and he stops donating in his old age.
Weekly blood plasma donating? How is he still alive?
The same way they take blood donations every 2 weeks when in many countries it is acceptable to do it only every 6 months.
When I asked what the blood was for they said hemophiliacs. And when I was in the hospital I asked why they took three tubes of blood. The nurse said one to check your blood, one for something else, and the third one to the blood bank. They shouldn't give your blood away without your knowledge or permission.
I have spoken to 2 people who were hospitalized and they both mentioned that blood draws in multiple very large tubes occurred multiple times each day and every day. One lady made the remark to the phlebotomist that she was being drained of all her blood. She was not joking around when she said it and it scared her.
Oh thats why! I went to the hospital 3 weeks ago for surgery, and they took 3 big tubes of blood. I said stop bc i didn't feel good. She kept on tapping the blood i was puking and then passed out
@@melissarozalia when you donate blood it’s about 150 of those tubes … 3 is not anything at all your body would never even know
They want our blood because they can use it for targeting as well.
They send a patient's blood to the blood bank because their doctor has ordered a blood type and crossmatch lab to be done because the patient needs a transfusion! They're not going to sell that few milliliters of blood plasma!
As a donor, I always feel it in my gut that it's wrong. They hit you over the head with the message that we're saving lives and helping others... It's very manipulative and I feel exploited. I honestly wouldn't do it if I didn't need the money to support my family.
Yep saving lives
No, it would be wrong if they demanded you donate and DIDN'T pay you. A custodian is being exploited too. Find a different way of being exploited for money, that's called a job.
Not to mention what it's doing to the donors bodies 8 times a mo seems extreme and if you miss a donating 1 time the amount of money they give you drops back down .
This young man, whistleblower, deserves a gold medal, what a brave man! ❤
We need whistle-blower protection
Why doesn't WHO train all countries to harvest their own plasma?
You are 💯 Correct, people don't know the half of what they are doing with their lifeline 😥😥
Thankyou for this article, another scam on the naive, good will people, we are beings fools!
We all know how the fascist USA treats whistleblowers.
So let me get this straight… we give them OUR blood for FREE and the they go make medicine with it that they charge us a arm and a leg for🤦🏾♀️
🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯
Summed up right!
Correct
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure remember that❤️🙏🏽
40 years ago my family member sold his blood to the RC. for $8 00. This was a desperate time for the family. This would never happen again.😰
I'm in the USA 🇺🇸
A good friend of mine is a cornea removal specialist. He is notified when a person has died And they are an organ donor of their corneas. He's been in this career for over 10 years. He told me that over 70% of corneas donated in America are SOLD to Saudi Arabia. It's a huge, profitable business. Not only was I shocked I was angry. My nephew due to an illness became completely blind at age 37. Why?? His name was never chosen for a cornea transplant. Maybe if he lived in Saudi Arabia he would have received a cornea from America... 😡
I am mad just reading your comment about your nephews rejection. Bunch of crooks !
Deus e Dono do Inferno 🔥🔥 do ar das Águas do Solo Deus e a 🧬🌡️ a Vida 🙏🤗❤️ nada pode o Deter # porque ele e Deus #
how could they even survive such a long trip? are they shipping viable corneas or for classes?
Very angry 😡 yo hear this. It seems there is no justice but the greed of these people.😡
There’s a huge worldwide organ shortage. That is why Human organ trafficking, the illicit kind, is at epidemic proportions. It’s just not spoken about. Takes a quick internet search.
I used to donate for plasma and my doctor told me it will affect my immune system and he told me older people should never donate. CSL Plasma NEVER told me anything about the dangers and one time, the guy poked through a vein, I kept telling them that it was hurting and it felt wrong. Blood started forming under my skin and it was huge. I then, started fainting and almost fell off the table. They never took blame for it nor did they ever reprimand the guy who basically stabbed my arm. You could tell he didn’t give a shit about anyone there donating. He had no business doing that kind of job. That bruise stayed on my arm for over 3 months and it was so sensitive to the touch. My immune system isn’t what it used to be. It has affected me to the point where I struggle with feeling tired all the time. I wish I had never donated. People who donate are nothing but cash cows. CSL Plasma are horrible and don’t care about those they are exploiting.
I donated plasma for over 30 years. Not straight up every week but on and off. Started as a freshman un college used to help feed ya a little. Plus on Tuesday you donate you could get a pack of smokes and co to a campus bar that have. $0.25 cent draft night. That was early 80s CSL only paid us $15. and it took for ever waiting on your blood cells to be returned. Used to laugh back then saying, " Tuesday lets go donate and go to the bar" get wasted and you could wake up Wednesday morning and have half a pack and still ha e $7 to $10 in your pocket.😅 Winner Winner in my 40s we did it for extra cash of course they paid a lot more than in the 80s I'd get $85 to a $100 a week then being over 270 pounds then. But here I am now nearing 60 and have dealt with Jgrens disorder a immune deficiency disorder since 2013 and wonder if always giving my plasma back then caused this? SMH.
@Douie Jordan I'm so sorry. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself though. Don't get down on yourself ❌️❤️❌️❤️
@@floridagirl386 thank you, and yes I had a good life wouldn't change a thing. Other than picked better medical advice in 2013. Misdiagnosed many times. Experimental new drugs that caused more harm than good. Not down on myself at all. Have I cussed out some practitioners? yes.
Practices of donating plasma need improvement. But people need to donate plasma. It is used to make insulin and replace whiteboard and enzymes that help with wounds healing.
I wholeheartedly AGREE. I donated once at CSL Plasma in Dallas and the pain was excruciating. After they had a bottle of Plasma the female dog phlebotomist said they would have to Restick me because there was too much fat in my blood and the saline wasn't performing the cycle. I told her if she did, me and my Plasma would walk out the door. She gave me a Gatorade instead of resticking me. FIRST and LAST time!
I remember donating plasma 12 years ago for about 3 months. I felt like I was getting taken advantage of. Not to mention I almost died one day after donating. That was my last donation....
You made a life saving decision.

"The blood of the poor going into the veins of the rich".
Jesus. This kind of sh*t is why most of us are overwhelmed by futurefear.
Fear is a sin, when you trust God you have no fear. And you called on the name of Jesus, amen!!!
@@alicelong3613 You all keep dispensing your false church teachings. Where in Almighty God’s written Word it told you fear is a sin?🤦🏿♀️We are sinners. We were born sinners. Fear is part of our Imperfection. God knows this and he does not judge us based on our human frailties. But FAITH in him and his Son we must develop.
You put trust and faith in Jesus and Jesus’s Father, whose name by the way is JEHOVAH (English) YAHWEH (Hebrews). Jesus told us to pray to and worship his Father just like he told Satan the Devil to do at 💎Luke 4:8;
💎Matthew 4:10. If this applies to Satan the Devil, as per Jesus Christ, why do you church goers insist on worshiping how you all see fit, praying to and worshiping Jesus Christ believing he is our Heavenly Father, Almighty God?🤷🏿♀️. Why are you all not listening to Jesus and following his command church goers? This is why 💎Matthew 7:13, 14, 21 and 💎Luke 13:24 says what it says. False church teachings by means of that Doctrine of the Devil, AKA the TRINITY is puttkng you all on the wrong path heading to destruction because you all cannot distinguish Almighty God from his Son our Mighty God and insist on worshiping and praying to Jesus instead of his Father. Do what Jesus tells us to do and ask anything in his name (Jesus’s name) and his Father, Almighty God, will hear and answer if what you ask is in his will and for his purpose 💎John 16:23;
💎John 15:16; 💎Mark 11:24;
💎John 14:13, 14. Remain in union with Jesus Christ and what ever you ask his Father in Jesus’s name will take place for you
💎John 15:7.
The problem is you all don't know who God is because Jesus Christ is NOT his Father Almighty God (💎Genesis 17:1; 35:11). Hence the reason 💎 John 17:3 (Read the entire chapter of Jesus praying to his Father in heaven in behalf of his disciples (Jesus from the very first verse of
💎John 17 to the last WAS NOT praying to himself...(Jesus is not crazy) as he was soon to leave earth to return and to sit on the right hand of his FATHER Almighty God 💎Ephesians 1:20;
💎Acts 2:33; 💎Hebrews 1:3;
💎Hebrews 8:1; 💎Hebrews 10:12; 💎Hebrews 12:2;
💎Romans 8:34.
💎Romans 10:9 AND
💎 John 17:3. Jesus HAS A FATHER. 💎John 6:44, 65 and
💎John 14:6, 7(READ the entire chapter for full context). Do what the Scriptures and Jesus tell you to do because this means EVERLASTING LIFE. That is what the Scriptures tell us to do...come to know the one true God and the one whom he sent, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Jesus HAS A FATHER WHO IS OUR ONE TRUE GOD. JESUS IS SECOND IN COMMAND TO HIS FATHER BECAUSE JESUS SAID HIS FATHER IS GREATER THAN HIMSELF 💎John 14:28. You church goers need to start reasoning these Scriptures and stop having these preachers and pastors lead you all astray behind false church teachings. Who did God send? Who did Almight God...gave to the earth? His only begotten Son Jesus Christ says 💎John 3:16.. the Son of God
💎Hebrews 4:14. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 💎John 8:32 AND SAVE YOUR LIFE. God’s Word is the truth 💎John 17:17. FEAR is NOT a Sin per se. Who we are to FEAR is Almighty God
💎Deuteronomy 6:13;
💎Deuteronomy 10:12;
💎Deuteronomy 13:14
FEAR ALMIGHTY GOD (FEAR MEANS HAVE REVERENCE FOR THE ONE TRUE GOD, KNOW HIS WISDOM, POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND HIS MIGHT AND RESPECT IT.) 💎 Deuteronomy 31:12.
Faith and trust in God (and his Son Jesus Christ our Mighty God (💎Isaiah 9:6) which is who Jesus is...MIGHTY GOD...NOT ...NOT ALMIGHTY GOD. FAITH is what's required because it is impossible to please God, or Jesus for that matter, without FAITH 💎Hebrews 11:6 (Read the entire chapter). Your church tell you to believe in God, when in actuality it is FAITH YOU ALL NEED TO HAVE NOT SIMPLY BELIEF🤷🏿♀️.

@@powerPryamids we understood this situation decades ago, the blood is needed from our history times in order to live under the sun help with all the diseases some had.? I wouldn't think it stop now..just look into the sun son
@@powerPryamids fairytale
I have donated plasma on many occasions but I never knew how much money that my plasma was worth until now I will never ever donate my plasma again period because they pay Penny's to us and make 25,000 off of each donation that's beyond exploitation of people.
Wow
And have you payed attention that the ones doeing it are oriental ? I to have given plasma......those days are way over for me...those huge needles left scares in my arms .
They used to pay people
Ya like $7.00.
@@Alm0st999 Or more than $25k they split the blood into plasma nd platlets different things.
I used to be a Phlebotomist and Medical Screener for Octapharma Plasma, and another company in FLA called Life Sera, which I think is called by another name now. There was always a lot of questionable practices going on in those places. I've only recently learned in depth about the plasma business, and how involved it is overseas.
I hate doing blood tests period!
I feel bullied into them. No wonder that one doctor ordered me for every disease for my blood test instead of a god damn seeing how the medicine was treating my organs
I definitely removed from my drivers license that I would donate body parts once I began to figure out that this wasn't going to do anything but make someone rich if they could salvage anything to sell. I used to be altruistic but once you begin to understand that this whole culture has basically weaponized anything decent or good it changes perspective.
Satan perverts all of what God has created.
@@amykyns15 Amen!!!
Unfortunately blood doesn’t have a long enough shelf life to be available for you if you did need your blood back.
But i totally get what your saying
They should pay big money for blood.
They definitely charge big money.
How about a comission! Lol
I also stopped being an organ donor this was after I found out that the procurement people and hospital staff will actually take people off of life support to harvest the organs well before they are actually brain dead because once they are truly brain dead , the organs begin to die .
I had a planned surgery. I could not donate blood for that surgery. When I had the surgery, I had to use someone else's blood. Blank this entire institution.
I had long surgery and lost a lot of blood. They gave me one bag of blood and I was still low. They were going to send me to rehab. I refused to leave the hospital since my blood was low and I was having back spasms from being previously on a bed pan. I filed to protest that move. It is cruel to put a patient with back problems on a bed pan. They refuse to change Other methods are available because it is cheaper. We old people are in danger in today's care. There other methods.
You're right. We are in danger I have back problems too
My parents were simply "killed" in the hospitals. We all are a target now.
I get Sciatica from h3ll - I get it so bad - I have to use a rope to pull myself out of bed. (Good luck getting any pain medication these days). Hope you are feeling better now 🕶

@@olgacharnolusky4561 What did the "hospitals" do to your "parents" that constituted "killing" them? and "why" do you feel the need to use "quotation marks" around random "words"?
Watching this was so heartbreaking yet so humbling at the same time. My heart breaks for these people clearly being completely being taken advantage of.
Thank you for your investigation. Contamination has
occurred to me, but I had no idea that 100% of my donation was not going to hospitals use for transfusions.
Yes, we just assume it goes to hospitals.
People and family used to think I was mad ..when I said I will never donate blood ..now I find that everything I believed in is coming true ..the corrupt governments etc and now this ..
The Red Cross is a corrupt organization, been saying that for forty years

I passed out twice while donating, then was told I was no longer aloud to come back. It takes SO much out of you. The muscle cramps, pounding headaches, feeling ill/weak for days after.
I also knew 3-4 people who were active addicts that donated religiously, twice a week every week for YEARS!!! While they were on the table donating, they were also on their phones setting up a drug deal after they left.
Me too! Ended up passing out after I left so many times I landed in the hospital for 3 days.

Donating
I donated 104 times in 2016. Twice a week for a year. It's a pretty hardcore procedure. There were times when I passed out during donation. I was in active alcoholism at the time and was at rock bottom in many ways. They consider it a "donation" because if they were "buying" it from you it would be worth far more than that. They make you feel like you're doing the right thing, but they're totally cashing in on a valuable product while paying next to nothing when you take into consider how much they mark up your "product". Taking advantage of the poor is what this country is all about. And as it turns out, that's not uniquely American. It's worldwide. ✌️🤟🍀
Taking advantage of the poor is not as perfected in other countries as it is in USA - imho
@@riaagarwal6840 oh, let me assure you, it's absolutely international and far, far, far worse in SOME other countries (because they have longer, older histories of having done so).
Donors are monitored. If you passed out while donating they would know. If that really happened what did they do when you passed out.
@@anthonystipelcovich3763 I think that that is in 'nice' areas (donation sites). In 'questionable' areas of town and where they have 10 chairs in a row lined up and another ten across from those and not enough staff, I believe it's a different experience. At least, THAT was my impression from watching this doc.
U still drinking Dog?
This is well documented. I’m so glad someone sharing information that we all need to know. More reports need to be done like this one. Thank you for sharing.
I was JUST considering donating my plasma just YESTERDAY after being released from the hospital right back onto the street, honestly using the last of my life blood and strength to make a few dollars to eat and maybe help someone else too! This video came in my feed for a reason. Horribly corrupt, plasma donation center would give me maybe 200 or less for my body and it's flowing source of circulation Jesus Jesus this was right next to a homeless shelter and people outside WEEPING in sorrow screaming from drugs over taking their minds GOD is sharing this with me now to protect my strength for more powerful reasons!!
Tell your story keep your blood. Blessings to you May doors be opened for you! God is Love!!! You are not alone!!! One Love Mystic
WHAT! 200! This video made me call where I live and I mentioned to them that I wasn't vaxed (just wondered....) and they said they would pay $1K + month! I have never inquired before, but was that $200 a month or just first time or something?
I lived in my car for almost a year, up until 2 months ago. I would sit for hours in front of plasma place trying to talk myself into going in. I'm rh neg and know it matters. I never did it and never will. Shame on them!
@@AvalonDreamz So are they desperate for unvaccinated blood?

I used to work for a liquor store. A substantial number of my customers used gift cards. It didn't take long to realise they were using those CSL and OctaPharma $20 cards to buy their bottles. Seeing thousands of these people every week who just routinely allowed themselves to be pharmed was disturbing but just a reality of the job.
Years ago a relative had to have surgery. Her surgeon had her donate 1 pint of her own blood prior to the surgery. He advised her to never use blood from a blood bank. Now we know why. Thank God, we've never needed any.
Soylent green is Gentiles, this video is the tip of the iceberg, seriously.
And they do not know that alcohol destroy the healthy immune cells in their liver.

@@zenaidawilson7058 booze 🥃 immediate gratification wins……. Sad
As a paramedic, I’ve seen this a lot too. I really wonder how safe, or of what quality, a chronic alcoholics blood actually is. A number of the homeless alcoholics drink so much that it’s literally coming out of their pores . You can see the donation scars on their arms (they are very large and distinct) and I really wonder about the quality of their plasma.
I applaud all reports of the disgusting practices of some of the medical professions.
It's called greed and keeping the share holder's, happy.
Some ?
Some? All or most, really.
its now an industry....not for healthcare....for profit
Excellent documentary. I guarantee if you caught up with more ppl who donate in Cleveland they'd have a lot more stories to tell. It definitely is directed at the poor. Nobody gives plasma because they want to it's all about making ends meet. Some need to just survive the month some have children to feed and some have addictions to feed. Great documentary well done
I know right ? Crazy they don't even drug test these people
As a former donor to
Octo Pharma, I can tell you the amount of hostility, disgruntled, and tension from the employees is overwhelming. Some donors aren't a ray of sunshine either. The employees have the ability to tamper with the machine that takes your vitals to see if you qualify to donate plasma.
Octo pharma moved into my neighborhood last year. I live in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Cincinnati Ohio usa
@@ms.whitefolks1223 They set up shop in our communities and exploit the less fortunate.... we need to boycott these locations so they see no profits...

@@ms.whitefolks1223 omg i just moved to Cincinnati ohio!!! I guess downtown used to be a lot worse but they fixed it up? Just what I heard. Didn't know they had a plasma donation place near there. But of course they put it with the poorest people to take advantage. And how do u not need to be clean to donate ? That blows my mind.
@@Bunnie333 you can use drugs and still donate plasma.
I met homeless people that said giving blood was a great way to earn money. But they took drugs but they lied about using drugs!! I was disgusted.
The blood and plasma is screened and if it isn't good they cannot donate again. You have to use your social security number so there isn't a way they can get around that.
You were disgusted at the drug addict and not the corporation I bet
@@laurabaxendale2455 well drug addicts are also disgusting, sorry.

I live in the Cleveland area. My brother is a regular blood donor. He goes ti a Red Cross clinic, and DONATES his blood. Unfortunately, if you go to one of the clinics and see who are waiting in the line, it has always been a concern of mine. Many of the folks “donating” their blood are drug addicts. Frightening……
Every1 addict these days
Drug addicts blood is saving people's lives, who cares.
Nasty
Yes--there was another Frontline doc about this that I saw maybe 10 or 12 years ago. Thankfully the companies that collect plasma don't batch it and make all of their factors from one giant soup anymore--this is how hemophiliacs got HIV back in the 80s.
Naw they clean they blood with better then the water that you wash shower with everyday 😮
when my pops discovered that we have the most rare blood type, he always advised me to never donate my blood no matter what. and I cannot wait to share this video with my family,I remembered the hospital was pressuring my pops so he can donate some blood for some research. he was getting very paranoid. now I am facing the same crisis from a hospital trying to take a blood sample. you know your immune system is unbreakable when you get sick once in a year
I too have a very rare blood type less than 0,3% have the type but I’ve never thought of it before reading your comment on the other hand I’ve never donated blood either
@@Grace.allovertheplace if they are not greedy they can pay a good price for people's resources but not taking advantage of people humanitarian mentality. the Blood business is over 7 billion, and rare blood type is a big cash cow it is like the Gold in the business and because the military also depend on it

I am a phleb but not working currently due to my emf sensitivity. My friend suggested donating plasma for $$$. I called the center and they said they just take the plasma and put the rest back into the body. I said why don't you just take it all? I don't like the idea of a machine being used to return something to my body, not with all that is going on right now. I had red flags going off and now I am seeing this video. Wow.

That’s such a kind and thoughtful thing to say, thank you🤍
I have a deep mistrust of pharmaceutical companies and medical care in general. It disturbs me to hear that only 20% goes to people in hospitals, the rest goes to those who can afford to pay. My husband has been donating blood for decades because he thinks his blood is only for sick people in hospitals, I think he would be disturbed that his plasma is being sold overseas.
I also thought my blood went to patients not buyers!
@@hulamei3117 😥thank you for having a good heart that wanted to help people. This really shocked me when I understood that they were-selling the donated blood.
Who are those people who can afford to pay and why do they buy it? And why is it sold overseas? Geniuses question
It's somewhat complicated.. but if he donates at a community blood bank, like Red Cross, those donations go directly to patients. Plasma centers.. those donations go for research not transfusion. It is illegal to pay for a blood donation that gets directly transfused to a person. Plasma centers are allowed to pay 💵 for donations cuz they aren't being directly transfused. People often conflate the two, but there is a huge difference 💯 the most blood centers can give donors is a free T-shirt and a raffle for a gift card..they can't compensate them directly as to not sway their honest answers for a monetary reward. Hope that clears it up 😊
@@mommyberlinthat's not true, did you watch the video? The blood donors don't know that their blood is being sold to pharma.

Weren’t these Australian and European companies taking the blood?
CSL Plasma in Dallas I donated my plasma one time, the needle was 17 inch gauge needle. It hurt like hell I got paid $125.00. NEVER AGAIN! It took 2 months for the mark from the needle site to heal.
I “donated” plasma for one semester when I was going to nursing school, many years ago. I was sick the whole semester! It is bad for your health. These companies are preying on the poor that are mostly in poor health already.
Is donating plasma same as routine blood work
Another commenter said his doctor told him donating plasma affects the immune system. I didn't know that! Be safe out there 🙏🏼🌟
When flying Delta out of Richmond, I noticed my baggage ticket said Octopharma or something similar and I did not know what it meant. When I looked it up, I noticed it was a plasma donation center close to the hospital. Probably all kinds of nefarious business going on near airports.

Omg I would be so mad and demanding answers
They don't give you your own blood they have to clean it up first.
I used to work for NABI. It was a plasma center. I donated once and it just felt weird. I never donated again!! I remained working there and the same people came back, week after week. They got paid per donation, depending on the antibodies in their blood, depended on how much they were given. It was a great job and great money. Every month some weird people would show up and visit with the manager, who was always kinda sketchy. I bet he was getting kick backs from these high profile people. Interesting stuff man!! Plasma is more than they say it is. I think it’s the essence of our creator and maybe assists in the uptake of adreena-krome? Who knows!? It’s awfully fishy that’s for sure!!
Yes, life is in the blood. It is powerful spiritually. That is the reason Jesus shed His blood for humans.
There are immunity proteins and stuff in plasma. Antibodies , histamines, etc. Not every rich person who goes to get a plasma infusion for "health" is benefitting from it. Sometimes it is dangerous and stuff can still go wrong even if the plasma is "disease free". It could still cause allergies.
I have A- blood and I know damn well they are making Rogam off my plasma I told them I know I'm supposed to recieve more money they had the audacity to tell me my blood is not rare and worth more bs literally some women wouldn't be able to have children without my Donation
@@IqueyFunny you say that on different note I donated yesterday ,woke up today couldn't stop sneezing with crazy runny nose never had this so extreme before not sure correlation but something happened .
They had big blood drives at a corporation I worked at, and we were all pressured to sign up. If you didn’t sign up you were seen as someone who wasn’t a team player. I was very relieved when I actually got rejected for two reasons 1. I had recently traveled to a tropical country with a high rate of blood born diseases. And 2. I have a history of anemia. Oh darn. I didn’t feel so bad about being rejected (and therefore a “bad person”) when they also rejected my coworker who was a sexually active gay man, which at that time was seen as “risky behavior.” Everyone was walking around the office with their bandaids on their inner elbow, acting like such martyrs. Oh well. Now I see that many of them were giving to a for profit center so rich old people could feel amazing for a minute. Suckers.
Monkey see monkey do unbelievable that’s what you call being a follower and not a leader. The leaders of plasma are living there following. $$$$ think about it.
@@Mercifulkingdom wow that’s super deep.
It’s called being a “team player,” and all organizations encourage it. They usually promote the biggest @ss kissers, not people who refuse to play by the rules. Those entrepreneurial types who don’t play by the rules and create their own businesses end up forcing those under them to play by THEIR rules. So stop with this whole BS about people supposedly respecting those who refuse to follow thing you’re apparently assuming.

I live in China. They pay about $300 for blood donations. My friend went there and they drained his blood until he passed out. When he woke up,he found out they were still taking more. He became ill for more than 2 months.
why do you live there?
That's how George Washington died. They removed blood a.k.a. blood letting to treat him for a cough and they exanguinted all of his blood to the point of death..
I've donated with grifols and octopharma for over 8 years I ve seen the questionnaire change to protect centers from being sued for more compensation when information came forth about how much centers sold the product for in contrast to what donors are compensated.
Shady
By the GRACE and interference of Him I was turned down to donate plasma!!
At the time I was upset because I was told it was easy money by others who said they did it regularly.
The reason the nurse refused me was a medication I took.
Thank you God almighty!
Thank you for this VERY informative
video.
I was refused too after years of donating. The testing technology has advanced so much that I found out that I had the leukemia antibody, which affected the results.
So I guess God was a-ok with all those other lesser people shown in this video selling their plasma? He just spared you cuz you're a special good person or what?
It's great that you were graced and thankful, blessed for having avoided it, but as a fellow Christian, may I add here...please be compassionate and empathic, not boastful when there are people on here who are not spared, who are traumatized in many ways, and you too were looking for "easy money" which is not godly either. So, be kind to who can't "praised God I was rejected." Really...be mindful.
Thank you so much for covering this it is very prevalent in our area and literally sucking the life out of people.
Like dune movie
They are literally trying to kill us in every way possible!!?? Imagine the amount of ways we have no idea about? It’s like every day it’s something new the atrocities they are committing against humanity.
As a nurse, it is bothering me that I'm not seeing any of these people wearing gloves when sticking people with needles. They are at risk of coming into contact with blood products. The donor is at increased risk of infection.
I had one phlebotomist not wear gloves thay pissed
Me off
I donated for 2 years and it keeps you in a addictive circle of every time you need a few dollars you go to the plasma center. I have a permanent hole in my arm from the consistent poking in my veins. Thank God I’ve been delivered from this, it does something to your self esteem. I pray for those who are at the doors of these centers at 6:30 before they open to get $25
Also they are messing up their immune system for months after just one donation .
That’s weird I give plasma twice a week and I hardly get sick? Guess MY LORD loves me and protects me. Because I RARELY GET SICK. Love my IMMUNE SYSTEM
God is good when we call on Him to deliver us!
@@Kansas4life 😂
A former friend of mine would give blood and it was insane to watch how much the blood bank would spam her with phone calls, texts, and emails. Asking her when she’s planning to come in next. She was a poor student and needed money so they saw a cash cow. I’ve never donated and never plan too. The medical industry is greedy and I refuse to contribute.
Yep I'm O+ and whenever I went to donate at United Blood Service which is now called Vitalant they tried pressing me to donate every 10 weeks. So what I did was I looked up how much blood the average human has which is about 1.5 gallons of blood so I decided to only donate 6 gallons and once I met that goal I stopped. And ever since then I just kept getting calls which is crazy because I hit the goal during the pandemic so if I never answered nor called back should have been obvious that I didn't care or I got hit with covid and perished
I haven't donated only because of the amount my friend gets emailed and called every single day. I wouldn't mind donating, even for free, but I don't want the harassment.
My sister just donated Blood. She received a $10 Visa card.
Yeeees. I haven't donated blood in a good couple years after having a nerve injury a few years ago that scared me off. Now I get harassed by a particular organization that calls me every single day. Without fail.
I always wondering where is the donated blood gone out of my local blood bank/red cross, when the community donated blood more than the need by the receivers! Now i get to know where it is gone, the organization is selling our blood, shame on them!
Thank you for informative video
If you donate through the Red Cross, you can login to your online account and see your “blood journey”. Mine had always shown to be delivered to a hospital within a few hours from my home
Neither the Red Cross nor the Blood Connection actually "sells" the donated blood products.to the hospitals. Yes, they charge the hospital for the products it receives, but that money is used to pay the nurses who collect the blood, the clinical Laboratory scientists who do all the testing on the units, the reagents and instruments used to perform the tests (and that is EXPENSIVE by itself) and the drivers and coordinators who ship the needed products to the hospitals.
If you were to pay for all the individual tests performed on a unit of blood, it would cost way more than what we "pay " for the product
Please continue to donate. It's important.
I work blood bank in a level 1 Trauma center and I'm telling you, we use a lot of products. Without it, people wouldn't stand a chance sometimes
Shame on them criminals
The reptilian species. Ask David Icke
The amount of individuals that feed on blood especially the blood of children (adrenochrome)
It makes perfect sense knowing how criminal the pharmaceutical companies are.
My 62 year old brother has learning disabilities and has been donating plasma to the red cross a couple times a month for nearly 20 years. He can not drive, and lives on SSI. He is a very giving person and it makes him feel good to help others and gives him something to do. He spend most of day the waiting for the bus, transferring to another bus, donating the plasma, then the long bus trip home. Plus he spends a lot on bus fare to give his plasma for free. I like to think that he has saved a lot of lives but they are probably taking advantage of him.
Your brother is awesome!
I'm not being judgy and I don't even know you well enough to presume but if he had family to spend time with and watch his back with those vultures he'd at least be safe. There are probably other things he could do to volunteer. NICU always needs people to hold sick babies. I watch over my parents without making them feel invalid for these very reasons. We have to take care of our own especially when they can't hold their own.
Tell him STOP 🛑
These company's corporate officers should be in jail. Protect your brother tell him to stop killing himself for these greedy criminals.

What about poor people in the hospitals drawing their blood twice daily.Nobody questioning that.My husband went through the Hell,drawing his blood daily till I started to question why.He had headaches and deprived from Oxygen.
Drawing blood into the vials is for lab work.
Twice a day? Every day?Even couldn't find out that he almost died from septic shock?
@@guzinaljiljana6570 I have also experienced this exploitation and I don't believe that they are just throwing away all of those extra vials. Plasma is too valuable.
Whenever I'm in the hospital they take minimum 8 to 10 vials a day for "testing" but I'm never able to find out exactly what they are all for, or why I need them. I ended up in the hospital at first because of a serious medical concern, and now have become a repeat patient because of medical malpractice making me more sick and needing surgeries and interventions.

I worked at a pool in Tucson Arizona, their idea of red cross certified was acheivable in just 3-4 days literally! They said it was "because of the pandemic" and they needed more lifegaurds. I had bad anxiety and used to be afraid not to be able to save someone because I didnt feel qualified enough after such little training. The information in the original red cross training that is supposed to take around 6 months or more to learn, and was crammed into less than a week. In my opinion, covid isnt an excuse to throw underqualified lifegaurds on the stand protecting your kids. Do you agree?
Fyi, I obviously made the best of it, Months after my departure from the position, I saved a woman out in the mountains there using cpr.
I agree with you!
I was in the hospital being treated for AML Leukemia. I was so grateful for all of the donations as I needed so many rbc & platelet transfusions. I’ll never forget one platelet transfusion that sent me into anaphylactic shock. I truly thought I’d die that day. The hospital analyzed the bag and said it was a bad batch. Whatever that means.

This is scary stuff,my husband used the donate regularly,and my son is now,its your health too,and I don't feel,and never thought it was healthy to donate twice a week for long periods of time.i just feel it's shady,but now seeing this ,I have to talk to my son and share this with him.the bottom line is the rich exploiting the poor,as flipping always.but I appreciate the truth coming out for sure 😊 thank you and God bless ❤
I did it a few times in the early 2000s. I was a single mother going to college. They paid so little back then. $35 a week max. They broke a vein and my entire upper arm was bruised for a month. I quit going after that, luckily, before it could do anymore damage. It's a big needle compared to giving blood in other ways.
“entire upper arm bruised for a month?” I don’t believe that.
So they must be doing something wrong if they don't want any cameras in the place or even want to talk to outside media
I agree..seems sketchy and people that have nothing to hide-- hide nothing
Same feeling as a planned parenthood facility.
The sad part is that the poor people who donate would not be able to afford the "lifesaving plasma" if they needed it.
That guy was keeping it real 😂 “no one donates for moral reasons”. Of people knew how much they make off their blood they would demand to get paid more.
I used to donate Blood frequently until I had Cancer. After years of donating for free they finally started telling us that they ( the hospital where I donated) would cover me or family for the charge of Blood transfusion if one was ever needed. All I got before was a Cookie & some juice.
I did. No payment. Seven times in high school. To the Red Cross.
Not true, I have universal plasma and I donated because of that. Once I found out they give me $50 to sell my plasma for 25k a bottle, I stopped going. That’s not okay.
He said what we already know, he wasn’t doing anything extraordinary now lol.
NOT 25k, maybe 2000 at most, and they have to pay all those staff, rent on the building, storage and shipping of the plasma at sub zero temps, about a dozen tests every unit receives and other expenses.
Donors don't get a fair share, but honestly 50-60 power donation is about the max before they actually lose money.
point of correction. it is not legal to buy blood from the "donors" in the states. what they do to avoid this law is call the blood a donation, but they pay the donors for their time. it's a distinction without a difference.
Then prostitution should be legal. The women are getting a donation for their time, right?
And yet it's not illegal to sell it at a profit. How insane is that?
I'm in shock... It's hard to believe they take advantage of human misery to make dirty money... I have no words. Waoo .. this is unforgivable.
Is it really that hard to believe? Look up adrenochrome u will be even more shocked if u this is bad!?
They sell it for over 3 Grand
Some of the patients know give blood get money buy drugs its a terrible cycle.
Taking advantage of human misery to make huge profits is the MO of MANY corporations..,
I mean, if this makes you speechless, you would literally die if you knew what was really going on in this world..you will know soon enough

i remember living in this party house back in 03. one of my roommates was an addict who donated plasma 3x a week. there were 5 different donation centers in our shitty neighborhood. he would use the money on drugs and booze. he was so pale he looked like a vampire.
That's exactly how aids contaminated the blood supply in the 80s.
That's weird because I used to try to give blood when I was in college and they would reject me. They told me it was because I was taking prednisone. I was like, oh, ok! 😶 So that's messed up that they took blood from addicts. Did they lie about it?🤔
I know someone that used to do that also. He did drugs and wasn't turned away because he always came out of the donation place with money. He was broke before he went in
It saddens me that this is a black market scheme but I am grateful for the donor who gave their blood to me when my blood count was a 5 due to severe anemia from fibroid and heavy menstrual. I also have given plasma before in my 20's when I was in trade school and needed some extra money. Made me feel uncomfortable in spirit and exploited so I stopped.
I don't know if this will help you, but when I switched to pesticide/herbicide free, cotton pads, my periods quickly became much lighter and shorter by about 2 days. I told my doctor, and she was not surprised. She had heard the same from other patients.
Think about it. Who would want material laden with chemicals right up against such thin, delicate skin? It's probably worse with tampons.
I hope you also have a “ferritin panel” performed to check your iron now that you’re past the worst.. 😢❤
I was at a 6 because of the same reason but I rejected the blood transfusion (I'm a JW), asked for an iron infusion and within a month I was at a 14.5! It is possible without a blood transfusion, they probably just want to charge more! Just in case you need another in the future😉
@@AbigailSanchez1986 I was on iron infusions. I was bleeding too heavy for them to help me. I believe I lost all the blood that was donated to me also. But I'm happy the iron infusion helped you.
The Europeans act shocked and appalled, but they rely on American plasma from low-paid donors as a "cheap raw material" for their pharmaceuticals. Paying donors fairly, and implementing European safety limits (for example, only allowing US donors 2-3 donations per month not per week as the FDA currently allows), would be much more equitable. However these safeguards would certainly either cut into corporate profits, or make medicines more expensive (increased costs passed on to the European patients featured in this video who express alarm at the conditions under which their source plasma is harvested in the US).
Thank you for this important documentary.
Knowing this information really brakes my heart. As it says in the end:
" it's canibalisme"
The Bible says " the love for money is the root of all evil". I can see it clearly in what is been exposed in this documentary.
Agree. This is where drugs lead people. The guy Mark and others here, could wash dishes in a restaurant…LAZY.
Life is in the blood
Bible also says and by their sourceries ( pharmakeia in greek) were all nations deceived. We have strayed from our Great Physician. Science declares there is no God
@@brendacollins345 How can you judge that others are lazy. I broke my neck and nose, and my doctor didn't give me ANY pain meds for over 6 months. I guess I was just lazy. You don't know what others have been through.
@@katesun2957Right!! She should just quit judging people she knows nothing about. A lot of people actually work, some 2 jobs but due to higher taxes... higher inflation etc...the American people are truly struggling. I used to donate blood and lazy, I've never been. Half of the very people who work in these plasma centers, I've seen give blood themselves on their breaks.. So being lazy has nothing at all to do with this. It's a staggering & struggling society. People simply need some extra cash & some think, hey why not? They assume they are helping someone out; doing a good deed, all why making extra bucks. Everybody not on drugs, just need extra cash. So people shouldn't judge or put their mouths on people vastly whom they are ignorant to the correct information about. 🤦🏾♀️ Everybody NOT on drugs or booze..
My father and his infinite and seemingly simple wisdom taught me Early on in life to read Everything before you sign it. At a donation center years later with my husband the employees and he were visibly frustrated with my decision to do just that. All this information was held in a binder (not a little one either) that was omitted unless asked for. After I had finished reading front to back what this process entailed, the risks, the side effects..who's hands it ends up in..I ran out of there and pleaded with my husband to do the same. He is still mad about it. Do your part people READ.!READ ANYTHING..EVERYTHING seek to understand. Speaking of reading...anyone read "The Leadership Summit" poster behind the gentleman in charge...read about that.. nuff said. 🕳🐇 down ya gooo!
Apparently it starts with the birth certificate.....
@@annekegermers821 exactly yes
Knowledge is power, that saying is completely TRUE, if only people realized how much so.
Exactly so. Everyone should examine their” berth” certificate, born(e) like a seagoing vessel from the birthing waters of their mother, and subject to maritime law, the law of the sea, thus lost at sea and presumed dead, poor child (pronounced “killed”).
Oh what a tangled web they have woven…
Bravo! Well said!!!
I am proud that i learnt from the bible many things and GEHOVA our LORD said in Leviticus 17:12 that is why i have said to the Israelites:"none of you should eat blood,and no foregner who is residing in your midst should eat blood. And Leviticus 17:13, 14 and Acts 15:29 and Deutermony 12:23 please search these verses and you will see. Because Gehova loves us and protect us from all these disease. Thanks ❤❤
Christ Shall Rule...
Exactly what the pastor said. It's not a donation!! We are giving it away for free but they are turning around and SELLING IT. A donation is FREE. If they profit off of it then we should be profiting as well. And not $100 dollars and sell it for $1000. That's still exploiting.
Wow this is eye-opening never in my ever donating blood.
The cards money is added to after a "donation" also charge a fee to use the money.
Me n my daughter used to sell plasma to help pay rent. It used to make me so sick. I was so grateful to be able to get out of that horribly expensive apartment. It literally bled us dry. Donation didn't bother my daughter much, but for me is was awful. I have small veins in my elbow. They refused....grifols...to use any other location. I bruise easily, and idk why but that alarmed them and I couldn't donate for 30 days after bruising. It was an unsavory, unhappy depressing experience.
The grifols in our area paid at that time pretty well I felt. We haven't donated in years, so no idea what the rate is now.
Grifols also drug tested us, and our ring fingers, the cuticle area on the ring finger was marked in a UV pen to insure we weren't double selling plasma. As if. How could anyone physically double donate?
There was radio ads this summer in Flint Michigan saying donors could make 800 dollars a month donating plasma.
That was the first I heard of it.
Some people have a lot more blood than others and can donate much more often without feeling drained.
They pay you $100 per donations where I live
My mother who is a doctor warned our family about what blood donation is really about. Is a business.
I haven’t even watched this video. What I’m trying to say my son needed a blood transfusion. I donated my own blood because I was a match and clean. When it came to save my sons life I was told I needed to pay a huge amount of money for my own blood let’s say I couldn’t afford it. My own blood 🩸 unreal. My son almost lost his life.
Unbelievable just unbelievable
wow that's crazy - made you pay to take it from you - so messed up.
That is sickening..goes to show how corrupt all of this is..a money making racket
I was very surprised and about lost it. But my son was more important.
It also costs to auto- donate! To donate to yourself in advance of a surgical procedure where you may likely need a transfusion afterwards.😮
My late dad’s O- blood saved many lives over his lifetime. He would be shocked at how things are today.
My dad is O positive . It is said that the O type in the USA is mainly found in the natives. The USA is very mixed.
Your dad is 👌
@@ria0991 I'm not a native lol
All those poor Brazilians living in deplorable conditions while business diplomats get rich. Who can change the greedy corruption of wealthy corporations or governments that fund them to collect taxes or pay military personnel to protect their extravagance, while families everywhere are exploited for wealthy interests.
Now I need to correct the record here, I never received a payment from my DONATION! Not....one....penny! I donated because I used to believe I was making a difference, all until I got too sick to donate. Not once did I ever consider selling my blood. I also used to be a man of faith, not so much any more 😢
God is waiting for you to come back to Him.
Don't give up come back to faith you be blessed
So, they “sanitize” the plasma with chemicals & then put the plasma that has had these chemicals added to it into people’s bodies? How do they get the chemicals out of the plasma?!?
It's best that blood donation is mandated to serve local community of origin. A sinister business indeed
Redcross and the like MUST be expelled from Africa. Exploitation is at the core of these businesses
Anytime there is a proliferation of a business opening up, or popping up in low income neighborhoods, RED FLAG 🚩 alert and your radar needs to go up too. Remember when those urgent care center suddenly opened up across New York during the peak of Rona? Nefarious and suspect af! Same thing with these plasma centers.
Recruitment centers & abortion clinics as well.
@@priscillakrause6383 Yes! THANK YOU! No one want to go there about planned barren hood which started in inner cities. And the harvesting body parts for sales? Even sicker!
The companies gross billions of dollars, while donors are given crumbs. It's definitely not worth it.
They should boycott plasma centers, unil they get paid by the amount the pharmacies are charging
