That is , “research” requires actually reading and understanding things, which Yeppy doesn’t bother with, it seems.
Yeah yeah yeah yeppy bad, got it. Yawn.

The study does say that the population of blood donors are different from the general population, a higher percentage likely vaccinated than general pop. But to put an estimated number on that percentage difference, they suggest 73% of their sample was vaccinated and to compare, the CDC estimate is 57% of the population. That’s a 15 point difference.

So let’s take that general overall 90+ number that have antibodies, let’s call it 93%, and subtract 15 points. That leaves us with this idea: At least 78% The general population has antibodies.

This is pretty high to me. This study clearly shows the percentage of the population that has antibodies, well the percentage of the blood donors anyway, is increasing.

Seems like a win to me.
