Doesn’t seem anyplace knows what us cid
Patients should do to assist our system
In prevention other then lots vit c ? And no one seems to answer the gamma globulin questions on infusion if the ivigg has testing against ANY VIRUSES!
And if it’s bern radiated or what. We are all rare birds but science an medicine SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE IVIGG SUPLY AND HOW SAFE IS IT!
What’s tested in it since it’s a blood source product !
With all the druggies our selling thier plasma who knows what tests are REALLY FONE! And how pure is it??
As pricey as this stuff is to get you would think this high priority need would be worthy of purring! It again is all about following the money trails!
Plus to prioritize the other humans with immune deficiency should be hi priority

Hi @chillywillie, like you, I refer to trusted sources on the internet for information. Here's some information that I found from regarding COVID-19 and the safety of blood products:
- Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Frequently Asked Questions https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-issues/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-frequently-asked-questions#biologics
See the section on Vaccines, Biologics, Human Tissues, and Blood Products
"Q: Does COVID-19 present a risk to the safety of the nation’s blood supply?
A: In general, respiratory viruses are not known to be transmitted by blood transfusion, and there have been no reported cases of transfusion-transmitted coronavirus.
Q: What steps are being taken to protect the U.S. blood supply from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19?
A: Blood donors must be healthy and feel well on the day of donation. Routine blood donor screening measures that are already in place should prevent individuals with respiratory infections from donating blood. For example, blood donors must be in good health and have a normal temperature on the day of donation.
Donors are instructed to contact the donor center if they become ill after donation, so that their blood or plasma will not be used. Even when a donor develops COVID-19 after donation, however, there have been no cases of COVID-19 linked to donor blood or products made from blood."
There's more information on the website. Additionally, you can ask your hospital about the measures they take. Ensuring that blood products are safe is a top priority.
