A Wyoming state lawmaker has proposed legislation to require all blood donations from individuals who received the experimental COVID-19 shot to be appropriately labeled.

According to Cowboy State Daily, individuals who object to receiving the mRNA shot can refuse blood from COVID-19 vaccinated individuals in non-emergency situations.

State Rep. Sarah Penn sponsored the legislation to mandate all blood from COVID-19 vaccinated donors to be labeled as such.

“​​For various reasons, many people have purposefully strived to keep the mRNA therapies out of their bodies, even to the point that some lost their livelihoods,” Penn told Cowboy State Daily.

Cowboy State Daily reports:

Since the Red Cross of Wyoming does not collect blood, it had no comment on Penn’s bill. The Wyoming Hospital Association said it will reserve its comments for when and if the bill reaches a committee.

We have some thoughts, but will wait and see how things play out,” said Eric Boley, president of the Wyoming Hospital Association.

At the very least, House Bill 115 would require blood draw workers to perform extra work labeling blood that has or has not been vaccinated.

It would also create extra work for health care workers who would then have to not only make sure a quantity of blood is the right type for the recipient, but also that it fulfills their vaccinated or unvaccinated preferences.

There also could be medical privacy issues that arise from requiring blood draw workers to ask a donor if they’ve been vaccinated, as the bill prescribes.

Penn noted that her bill does not discriminate against or turn away prospective blood donors.

“It simply allows better monitoring, and it allows people to have some choice when it comes to non-emergent transfusions,” she said. “First, do no harm.”

The bill applies to all messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines, like the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, which unlike a traditional vaccine, teach human cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response if someone gets infected with COVID.

Penn cited multiple concerns stemming from the experimental mRNA COVID-19 shots, including myocarditis, blood clots, and Guillain Barre.

“Penn also mentioned how it’s not definitively determined the exact time length spike proteins used in the vaccines last,” Cowboy State Daily reports.

“To our knowledge, the human body has no way of breaking down the messenger RNA or spike protein,” Penn told the outlet.

“What are the effects of transfusing this blood to others?” she questioned.

From Daily Mail:

While the Red Cross said last month that it is facing a blood shortage emergency, the Red Cross does not collect blood in Wyoming, so its supply would not be affected.

Moreover, it’s unlikely a Penn’s bill, known as House Bill 115, will pass the state House, as there are medical privacy concerns as well the extra work it would mean for health care providers.

Still, she defended the bill, telling Cowboy State Daily: ‘It simply allows better monitoring, and it allows people to have some choice when it comes to non-emergent transfusions.

‘First, do no harm.’

Last year, Montana state rep. Greg Kmetz proposed a bill that would ban blood donations from Covid-19-vaccinated people, but it died in committee.
