It's a matter of a gradual education that needs to take place when one talks about more complex medical issues. In my view using baby talk does not bring in clarity to the topic. One can always ask questions based on interest level. I do have an understanding that only certain people would be interested in the topic while others might be not be and are clueless. Maybe some topics are not meant for this forum. Some people say depending on the type of ketchup one has then they might get bigger owies. If you get an owie like what happens with COVID then doctors won't be checking the type of ketchup inside you because they don't think it will help much. Thanks for letting me know and next I will use baby talk when I communicate with people here even those with engineering degrees. If you use cooking terms then I will use cooking terms and vague phrases then I would do the same adjusting to the persons level of understandings. My answers very based on the presentation of the question. Usually when somebody cites medical research rather than simply makes a statement or summarizes the research one assumes they are capable of understanding such articles which tend to technical. and I'm saying that from the perspective of a person with a college degree in Engineering. Are you trying to communicate something to the readers of this thread or simply trying to impress people with how many big medical words that you know? You may be smart as hell, but your communication skills with regard to the typical reader of these threads is about ZERO. It just hasn't been proven based on outcome studies involving blood types. It is speculated that COVID puts the person into a prothrombotic state and so anything that tilts it more into that thrombotic state can be contributory. It has been suggested at blood bank seminars that only type A cryoprecipitate be stored rather than other types of such product because of the higher concentration found in that blood type. In the blood bank cryoprecipitates are stored frozen in order to treat low fibrinogen levels and to treat acquired Von Willebrand factor deficiency states such as with heart surgery, aortic stenosis or with congenital Von Willebrand disease bleeding. Type A people have the highest concentration of such factor. This can result in patients with type O blood having a slightly more prolonged Platelet Function Assay closure times compared to those who are type A. We know that people who are type O has less Von Willebrand factor VIII antigen. There's temptation there in trying to read too much into ABO type because of the thrombotic complications involving COVID. There are minor differences in terms of infection and no difference in terms of clinical outcome once infected. There has been meta-analysis involving ABO types and COVID in terms of susceptibility and severity. Study shows O- blood type only has a 2% chance of COVID-19 infection, making about 13% of the population immune without vaccine
