I looked at the evidence and it seemed to me it was not healthy to give blood so I stopped.
I'd be pushing on this hard, it isn't getting better and it'll swing on a dime if general opinion goes badly on the health issue.
I image it's close to impossible to do science on this in the West anymore, the universities are full of Imposters and private industry isn't going to put up with the grief from university Imposters and the general public for the amount this is worth.
Hope that China sees it as a priority. People who support real science need to find a way to support China.
- unsupp0rted 2y agoI don’t know whether it’s unhealthy to give blood. But generally speaking doing things our bodies are designed to avoid is unhealthy, such as rapidly losing a not-insignificant fraction of blood. The onus is on researchers to demonstrate that what seems like a bad idea is actually a good idea.
