ABO Blood Types and COVID-19: Spurious, Anecdotal, or Truly Important Relationships? A Reasoned Review of Available Data

Since the emergence of COVID-19, many publications have reported associations with ABO blood types.Despite between-study discrepancies, an overall consensus has Flag emerged whereby blood group O appears associated with a lower risk of COVID-19, while non-O blood types appear detrimental.Two major hypotheses may explain these findings: First, natur
