Why doesn't the antibodies in type O plasma affect the recipient?

Post Body
We were taught that anyone can be given type O blood as they don't have antigens on the surface (I do know about other blood types but that's not what I'm wondering about), but the plasma of type O donors would have antibodies against type A and B. When whole blood is given, why don't these antibodies affect the recipient who isn't also a type O? Compared with the reaction type O would get if given other blood.
