What were thought to be the potential harms of getting a blood test? Sounds like a pretty disingenuous explanation for the change in protocol.
False positives from inaccurate screening tests can indirectly lead to iatrogenic harm with unnecessary follow-up tests and procedures. Depending on how you define "harm" there can also be psychological impacts.
