"There's some research out of Australia indicating blood donation/phlebotomy is effective at removing it"

Kind of a "no shit" answer, and not a real solution - you're just transferring it to someone else. Probably some moral conundrum in there about how you are worried enough to get rid of your PFAS but are giving it to someone else.

I guess you'd also be giving someone extended life though right, so I guess that's for them to decide

I mean, you can make that claim about almost anything. It's really a fallacy where anything looks good if the alternative (usually a false dichotomy) is death.

If you are receiving a blood transfusion, death is almost certainly a likely outcome otherwise.
