Our country is facing a severe blood shortage due to COVID-19. Now more than ever, the @US_FDA must end its discriminatory blood donation ban for gay & bisexual men. @SenatorBaldwin & I are once again urging the FDA to shift from its antiquated policy to one based on science.
COVID-19 has created a blood shortage and we must increase our nation’s supply based on science & facts. @US_FDA should not prevent healthy gay & bisexual men from helping to solve our shortage. FDA should change discriminatory blood donation policies to help save lives.
