The American Red Cross Wants to Kill You

Or just give you syphilis.  Apparently, the American Red Cross has been operating like a bunch of crazy people hopped up on crack.  Since 2003, they have been fined $23 million for failing to enforce various regulations.  Essentially, the ARC has been doing very bad, very dangerous things with blood and repeated attempts to make them stop have resulted in them saying, “Fuck you.  We’re the American Red Cross.”

Here is a small list of things that the Federal Government has accused (and the ARC has admitted to) these blood mongers of…

• Failing to test, at all, for syphilis.
• Not disposing of tainted and/or diseased blood.
• Distributing tainted and/or diseased blood.
• Failure to spend enough time swabbing arms before collecting blood.
• Shortcoming in screening for the diseases they say they are screening for.  Which does not include syphilis.
• Failure to investigate instances where people may have been given “bad” blood.  Because of this, no one knows if it actually happened or how or why or when or how much or any of that.

And, again, all of this stuff is ongoing stuff.  As in, for years now, the US Government has been telling these people, “STOP DOING THIS SHIT, YOU FUCKING CLOWNS!” and the American Red Cross has basically closed their eyes and covered their ears and chanted, “LALALALALALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LALALALALALA.”  Things have gotten so bad, that the head of of the FDA actually went to one of their board meetings and told them point blank that if they don’t clean their shit up, he will have criminal charges pressed against the whole board.  As in, you’re going to jail, biatches!

The Red Cross has responded by saying that while they do admit that they have serious “quality control issues,” they make up for it in other ways.  “The Red Cross does a good job of testing for H.I.V. and hepatitis b.”  So because of that, they can just say FUCKALL to all those other pesky rules and regulations.  And syphilis.

The American Red Cross is being run by madmen.  They are giving out more syphilis than all the whores in New Jersey combined.  The US Government has told them to stop giving out syphilis and the Red Cross has responded by saying leave us alone or we’ll give you syphilis.  Oh wait, we already do that.

Now, knowing all of that, I hope you all sleep well tonight.
