Disinformation about Covid-19 has given rise to a social media movement called “

pureblood

”.

Antivax propagandists use it as a keyword to find people who have not received a messenger RNA vaccine injection.

And who agree to give their blood for a transfusion, in the event of hospitalization.

The "antivax" are on the offensive on social networks.

Their latest smoky theory would be that people vaccinated against Covid-19 would " 

contaminate 

" the blood transfusions of hospitalized patients.

And they denounce a pseudo plot that would have been hatched by health authorities around the world to vaccinate, against their will, the recalcitrant.

These rantings launched by the “antivax” small groups are obviously not based on any scientific evidence, denounce many epidemiologists in the world.

But nothing helps!

The movement is gaining momentum on social networks, in particular through the keyword “pure blood”. 

Promises to obtain purified blood, without vaccine

In their messages, Internet users demand the creation of blood banks dedicated to people who have not received an injection.

And a Zurich, Switzerland-based organization by the name of Safe Blood Donation, which was founded by naturopath

George Della Pietra

, promises on its website to get this purified blood to its customers.

The association now extends its web empire to Western Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.

It broadcasts its messages of manipulation with great blows of pseudo scientific publications, articles of false testimonials from satisfied customers.

In so-called explanatory videos, the naturopath displays his desire to " 

create the first world blood bank for unvaccinated people 

".

“ 

I contacted the hospitals

, says George Della Pietra

in a propaganda video,

I wrote to hundreds of them asking them if they allowed their patients to freely choose their donor, because there is millions of people in Europe alone who have decided they do not want a blood transfusion containing messenger RNA vaccine.

Maybe they're too anxious, but it doesn't matter, it's their choice.

And I learned that no, the hospitals all told me that they no longer allowed it.

And they lie to their patients claiming it's against the law.

Because I haven't seen a change in the law in the last 10 years, the law is still the same.

All the characteristics of a scam

To become members of Safe Blood Donation, Internet users must pay an entry fee of 50 euros, then an annual subscription of 20 euros.

This organization therefore has all the characteristics of a scam!

Unfortunately, this propaganda, which is entirely based 100% on misinformation about vaccines, is massively relayed by “ 

pure blood

” small groups  .

But online searches for this alleged "purity" are not limited to blood.

Other publications have appeared on social networks to find breast milk or sperm donations exclusively from non-vaccinated people.
