On
Friday, I donated blood plasma to the Central California Blood Center for their
trailblazing convalescent plasma program to help patients combat COVID-19.
While on The Ray Appleton Show that afternoon, I disclosed that I donated
plasma that day because I had tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies.
Immediately, dozens of national journalists falsely reported that I tested
positive for COVID-19, which Twitter then uncritically amplified. This bizarre
fake news reporting was captured in an article by The Federalist, which you can
read here.
If,
like me, you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies and are healthy, please
consider donating plasma to the Central California Blood Center. To learn more
