Could Covid-19 vaccines affect patients' ability to receive blood donations?

Some blood groups (O?) are reported to be less susceptible to Covid-19 because it outwardly resembles incompatible blood types; therefore vaccination could perhaps create a resistance to blood donation?

    Receive blood: no issue

    Donate blood: that's a real question!

    No.  And since there are no viable vaccines for coronavirus, definitely no.

    No, there are plenty of vaccinations now that have absolutely no impact on blood donation. I cant even follow that logic.

    what a strange idea. Do you have any evidence to support this ?

    Blood donation is a voluntary decision, how could a vaccine change this human decision?
