Yes, that is exactly what you are doing. Still waiting on you to demonstrate your initial claim that paying donors would endanger the blood supply.

From the article:

The organization added there was a 7,000-unit shortfall in blood donations between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day alone.

One of the most distressing situations for a doctor is to have a hospital full of patients and an empty refrigerator without any blood products,” Pampee Young, chief medical officer of the Red Cross, said in a statement.

I leave you with two options:

1. Demonstrate that your claimed threat to the blood supply is more dangerous to patients than a shortage of 7000 units per week; or,
2. Drop this claimed threat as an argument against paying donors.
