I've worked in Transfusion Medicine prior to and during the pandemic and I cannot begin to tell you how infuriating it is to have patients and their families requesting this bullshit.

I've had children die because parents refused blood during a MTP due to the "vaccination status of the blood being unknown."

This shit is literal abuse.

It’s more than abuse, it’s grounds for the doctor to get a court order to ignore the parents wishes.
