JW.org article 'Blood Transfusions: How Safe?' uses 30-year-old statistics to exaggerate the dangers of blood transfusions.

Blood Transfusions: Facts, Fictions and Fractions - Refuting The Watchtower 00:11:49 – 00:13:22

Mike critiques the Watchtower's misinformation campaign against blood transfusions as medical propaganda.

The jw.org article 'Blood Transfusions: How Safe?' cites a National Institutes of Health Conference report from 1988 to claim ~1 in 6,000 red cell transfusions result in a hemolytic transfusion reaction that may cause acute kidney failure, shock, intravascular coagulation, and death. Mike identifies this as 30-year-old data being presented misleadingly as current medical fact.
