David Clement: From Controversy to Canada’s Paid Plasma Model
David Clement, North American Affairs Manager at Consumer Choice Center, posted on LinkedIn:
”In 2018, I argued that the only way Canada could become more self sufficient for plasma was to pay donors as they do in the U.S. I got an incredible amount of hate.
The president of CUPE called me a “shill for big blood” (whatever that means). Tom Korski at Blacklocks grilled me on why I’d push for this. Fast forward to today, and CBS has, you guessed it, partnered with Grifols to pay donors for plasma to increase domestic collection.
Today I joined Theresa Skubic on Forum Daily to talk all things plasma.”
