They Want My Blood.

This morning I got two, yes two identical letters from the NHS ...

NHS: Nosferatu's Hematological Scam Scheme?

I know that if you mail someone a Tupperware container of blood they tend to get really agitated, even when they didn’t pay for it.

Just had my blood drawn today for my annual checkup (screening for things mentioned above). Sure beats getting regular colonoscopies,

The thing is I also get those, actually twice a year. A district nurse from my own local surgery comes in and takes the blood and about a week later I get the results over the 'phone. No money or vouchers change hands.

That is why I was so suspicious of these 2 letters, it just didn't 'smell right'.

Is this the blood test you're referring to? If so, it might or might not benefit you directly but might benefit many other people in the future. Not that you should volunteer if you don't want to but it doesn't seem particularly nefarious.

I can't be certain if that was the same thing but if it was then the following would confirm my suspicions that US Big Pharma was involved.

GRAIL Bio UK Ltd. is the main funder and organiser of this trial. It is a branch of GRAIL, Inc. in the United States that developed the Galleri test.

I am so familiar with this. Nurses who have deceived themselves into thinking that they're phlebotomists.

Ha! I once asked a district nurse that came for my blood how she came to be a phlebotomist to which she replied "a what?"
