>with blood type O appear to have about a 50 percent reduced risk of severe COVID-19.

Unfortunately the search is broken for pubmed.gov, so straight link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15311477/

I wonder if it's actually related. More exposure to blood born viruses => better immunity to some class of viruses.
