Is there any reason to suspect why a blood donor would have greater/lesser likelihood of catching Covid-19 and developing an antibody response and if they do that response would be shorter/longer lasting?

I think you're desperately looking for flaws in the science where there are none.

Nomadking points to the blood samples taken in March, but there's no inherent conflict there, antibodies diminish. That's not news. There's definitely something in what pip is putting forward with the t-cell response, but there's not enough there yet in the science to justify abandoning everything done and achieved to date. It'd be great if there was, but the figures are all moving in the wrong direction.
