Ep 11 | What Happens When Blood Comes from mRNA Donors? A Pharmacist’s Insight

What happens when donated blood contains synthetic mRNA? And what options exist for those who’ve chosen to opt out of mRNA-based products? In this eye-opening episode, Alexandra interviews pharmacist Liz James, founder of Blessed by His Blood, to explore what’s currently known—and unknown—about mRNA technology, blood transfusions, and biologic medications. They discuss how mRNA works in the body, the lack of long-term data, and the potential presence of mRNA in donated blood and plasma-derived products. Learn why these issues matter for informed consent, especially in emergencies, childbirth, or surgery. You’ll also hear about lesser-known solutions like cell saver technology, how to plan ahead with your hospital, and how to build a network for mRNA-free blood donations.
