Two different things - blood donors are a smaller group that might not reflect the general population.
I think it's a fairly safe bet that blood donors are likely to be less averse to having injections and visiting medical facilities than the general population.

More virtuous, therefore likely to be politically conservative.

Not necessarily. Donations revolve around a lot of factors.
At least in my experience as a blood banker...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Ironically, regular bankers have more blood on their hands than blood bankers.

By the way, I don’t mean to be that guy, but if 20% of the population has had COVID, where does that put the CFR in relationship to influenza?

Remember IFR /= CFR

20% have some immunity from previous infection? That’s twice the number of cases reported in the US.
I would assume there's a large cohort of asymptomatic infected.
Also, how many of those that received the shot also had previously been infected?
I know of at least one (D2)!
And some who were very ill, but not hospitalized, before the word COVID was on the front page news.
