evidence: According to a video circulated via WhatsApp, the American Red Cross has allegedly claimed that people who have been vaccinated against covid-19 cannot donate plasma to treat others infected with SARS-CoV-2, as the vaccine "destroys the patients' natural antibodies". This is DECEITFUL. The American Red Cross has stated that not all patients can be admitted at the time to donate plasma from a convalescent, but this depends more on the type of vaccine that has been administered than on whether or not the vaccine has been received. In any case, donation is not refused, but in certain cases it is requested to be delayed for two weeks for some types of vaccines. "Those people who have received covid-19 vaccine can not donate plasma from convalescent […] since, although plasma is made from antibodies from people who have already recovered from the virus, the vaccine eliminates them, making convalescent plasma ineffective in other covid-19 patients". The American Red Cross has issued a statement clarifying that it is not denying plasma donations from convalescents to patients who have been previously vaccinated but is setting waiting times for specific cases. "We are following the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) donor admission guide for those who have received a vaccine against covid-19", they say on their website. "Waiting times [for donation] can vary depending on the type of vaccine administered", they add.
