A bill to ban donors who have received the COVID-19 vaccination from giving blood will “decimate” blood supply in Montana and leave patients at risk of even death, said opponents of House Bill 645.
“Montana’s blood supply could be cut by up to 80%, leading to adverse patient outcomes including unnecessary and unconscionable death,” said senior vice president of blood collection nonprofit Vitalant, Cliff Numark.
Numark said most blood banks are barely meeting the needs of patients today, and with an 80% reduction in blood supply, procedures for accident victims, pregnancy complications and more mundane blood transfusions would not be possible.
House Bill 645 would ban individuals who received the COVID-19 vaccine from donating blood, making it a misdemeanor with a $500 fine to donate or accept blood from vaccinated donors. The bill would also ban people who have had a diagnosis of “Long COVID,” medically defined as “postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 due to chronic 27 SARS-CoV-2 viral infection.”
In addition to creating a severe shortage of blood in the state, opponents said there’s no way to test blood for both Long COVID or the vaccines.
However, proponents said the bill, a continuation of anti-vaccine legislation that passed last session, was about medical autonomy and the right to receive blood from donors had not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
“We hear these two words ‘safe and effective’ a million plus times. Does that make them true?” said bill sponsor Rep. Greg Kmetz, R- Miles City.
Emails exchanged during the drafting process show Kmetz included language from anti-vaccine legislation passed last session, House Bill 702, which outlawed discrimination based on vaccination status. A portion of that bill was struck down as unconstitutional in December.
Proponents included Rep. Lola Sheldon-Galloway, vice-chairwoman of the House Human Services Committee, which heard the bill on Friday. She repeated claims made in the film “Died Suddenly” that were debunked prior to its release. She said the vaccine caused issues with blood flow, citing her brother, a mortician.
The Food and Drug Administration said that respiratory viruses aren’t generally transmitted by blood transfusion and there have been no reported cases of transfusion-transmitted COVID-19.
Other proponents said that blood recipients should not have to worry about adverse effects in an emergency situation.
“I’m one of many who believe in the God given right of medical freedom, which is having access to genetically unmodified blood during a time of need,” said Jo Vilhauer from Miles City. “This is a vital part of health autonomy.”
Dr. Michael Busch, director of the Vitalant Research Institute, which monitors antibody levels in U.S. blood supply samples, told Kaiser Health News more than 90% of current donors have either been infected with COVID or vaccinated against it.
Currently, it is nearly impossible to request unvaccinated blood from hospitals. Texas and certain regions of Africa are the only areas that seem open to this idea currently.

I wouldn’t want to receive blood from GMOs. Only human blood is allowed to enter my body!
Interesting that the blood transfusion service does not address the issue of spike proteins in any vaccinated person’s blood. The spike proteins are what needs to be avoided and they need to come up with a way to cleanse the blood of those destructive and growing debris.
I hate to break it to everyone… but the injections are contagious. GGI mentions that the awesome documentary “Died Suddenly” was “debunked before it was published”… really? How does that work? How does an unidentified de-bunker attack the credibility of something they haven’t seen yet?
And then GGI goes on to quote the criminal organization the FDA as an authority on how respiratory illnesses are transmitted… when the FDA just showed us that it will bring a deadly, contagious, bio-weapon injection, designed by the out of control US Dept of Defense/DARPA to de-populate the world by 80%… We are in the long planned financial elite’s “Great Culling.” Researchers have known about it since Dr. Rima Laibow shared what her wealthy client said was coming – over 15 years ago.
GGI – you are controlled opposition. Don’t sit there and pretend differently. And by the way, the C19 injections are CONTAGIOUS… and the hydrogel-based fibrin strings are growing in EVERYONE – including you. Go to Dr. Ana Mihalcae on Substack.com for details and possible remedies.
