He doesn’t need R2-D2. He needs SPF-30.

Sorry, this illogical. People can be both incredible at things AND assholes. This story and movie are so good exactly because Whedon is a great movie maker even if he is also an asshole. This movie given to someone else would have been totally different and likely nowhere near as good. 

No one needs the hair shirt and self-flagellation. Just admit he’s a talented guy, AND a social garbage fire, without pretending the movie is entertaining DESPITE his involvement. You know it wouldn’t have been as willing to take those big risks without him.

I don’t know what sketchy back alley you donated in but the Red Cross gives you a report on your blood COVID antibody results on their website. It even differentiates between infection antibodies and vaccine antibodies, though I have no idea how. 

People willing to donate blood may be different from the general public
