A message from our ADOQ:
Iāve dedicated 34 years working in the plasma industry telling everyone I can that plasma saves lives. Many medications, treatments and vaccines are manufactured from plasma. Many looked at me like I was crazy and said ugly things like ā I would never do that, nothing but drunks and drug addicts donate to get money.ā I would always explain that itās not true Plasma centers are regulated by the FDA and other governing parties. Not just anyone can come in and donate. But many remain ignorant and didnāt even attempt to find out more information. We donāt accept anyone that doesnāt have proper identification, proof of residency and everyone has to meet the medical screening requirements each and every time they come in to donate. Did anyone care or even know that blood banks who are thought to be so reputable and accepted by all harvest plasma from every unit of blood that they collect? They then turn around and sell it to companies like mine CSLPLASMA. Maybe now that all of these well-known faces are saying positive things about plasma donation more people will understand what Iāve been trying to get across for years āplasma saves livesā itās the miracle that weāre looking for to fight this deadly disease COVID-19. Iām hoping that you will share this with everyone you know. You will start seeing these commercials aired on Fox TV starting next week. If I sound a little angry I guess I am just a bit. Iāve always been proud of my job and now Iām even more proud that this is the career that I chose.
