The coof has been said to affect people differently by Rh factor and blood type, so it wouldn't be surprising if adverse reactions vary by Rh factor and blood type as well.
If I recall correctly, VAERS doesn't capture blood type info.
Is there any source that might have adverse reaction data by blood type?
Recent data suggests that people with blood type A have a significantly higher risk of acquiring COVID-19 than non-A blood types. Blood type O seems to have the lowest risk.
They pointed to the recent research that blood type plays a role in infection, noting the lower than expected prevalence of blood group O individuals among COVID-19 patients. Researchers also observed how blood groups are "increasingly recognized to influence susceptibility to certain viruses," among them SARS-CoV-1 and norovirus, adding that individuals with A, B, and AB blood types may be at "increased risk for thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases," which are important comorbidities among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Have you seen anything with actual correlations?
I.E. O-positive, major symptoms
B-negative, mild symptoms

Thank you very much.
Yes. The trouble is the AMA doing their thing and ripping out published studies.

Thank you. Great info.
Good question to dig in.

medalerts.org doesn’t seem to have a blood type field. I will start combing https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/index.php
