There’s pretty much no one left in the US who hasn’t been exposed to the coronavirus, whether by vaccination, infection or both.

    False. 96.4% of blood donors (with a decent N). The story does not address how nonblood-donors can be presumed to have the same antibody distribution.

      Do you think blood donors are more or less likely to be exposed to COVID?

        My guess would be that they may be more likely to get vaccinated, but that’s just a hunch.

        Hmm there’s two groups. The altruistic, who I think are more likely to be vaccinated. And people that need money who are typically front line or manual jobs, so I think are more likely to be exposed.

        I have no idea. I’m just saying that the data do not back up the hed.
