They don't do direct transfusion from one person to another, but you can make a "directed donation" of blood, and if it's compatible they will use it for your person of choice. You can even donate your own blood to be saved and given back to yourself as needed. Anyway, misguided as they are, they could obtain "clean" blood if they get the right fit of donors.

I actually ended up chatting on a Facebook group with someone about this post who does this work, and she said directed donation requires a great deal of sign off, and they probably wouldn't do it for dingdong antivax reasons. Idk.

I've mostly seen it in regards to cancer kids who need multiple units from a reliable and compatible donor. Yes these folks are fools.

Apparently close relative donors also have a higher transfusion reaction risk?
