I am not a Jehovah's WItness, but I had a close friend who was. They do not accept blood transfusions ever, for religious reasons. They are often mocked by health professionals who think they are idiots not to accept a transfusion when "needed," but I had in the past read about this desire to avoid transfusion leading some methods to be developed to minimize need for transfusion - but Plan B could be in fact, to refuse a transfusion. In some cases, turns out you didn't need the transfusion anyway, or - maybe one would prefer to die vs. living with a disabling vax injury that no one believes, and you can't get help with. I don't know for sure what I would do - but - from things I have seen / read during the pandemic, I don't think I would ever go to a hospital. I am an older person, and I think if I die, I die, and I will do it at home without being tortured, abused, and just treated horribly in what passes for hospital care today. Keep the transfusion. I don't think I need vaxxed blood or that it will help me in the long run.
Interesting. Seems like having Mormon neighbors (food storage!) on one side and JW's on the other (no transfusions) is not a bad zombie appocalypse/prepper plan. :)
