Looks like a very interesting discovery, and possible cure, and prevention or treatment in dangerous zones.

Naive question...
so is blood type “O” enriched in the human population in the areas
subject to lots of mosquitos that carry malaria?
Of course, there’s the compounding factor that the disease has effects
that range over a spectrum...but I’m just curious if this has played
out over millions of years in a higher rate of type “O” in malaria-ridden areas.

This guy is a voice in the wilderness. Your blood type determines most things. It’s good to be O, bad to be A.

Blood type O is by far the most common blood type in humans.

This is for severe malaria. Type Os can still contract malaria; the odds that the malaria will put them into a coma or give them extreme anemia are just less than for the other blood groups.

I’ve got O+ and have had Malaria twice. Wasn’t VERY bad either time, most like the intestinal flu.
