#JamesHarrison died

Who was James Harrison?

From age 18 to 81, every 2 weeks, he donated blood #plasma (unpaid)

He had the world record until 2022

The twist:

James' blood had high levels of Anti-D

#AntiD protects unborn babies from Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn- the mother and fetus have immunological incompatibility

Before the 1960s, 50% of babies diagnosed with #HDFN died

James Harrison, over his life, saved *2.4 million* babies

#RIP
