O and Rh-negative blood types may already have COVID-19 antibodies

Those who are O-negative may be the least likely to get COVID.

Months after I first pointed it out, the mainstream media begins to pick up on what our readers have known:

Negative blood types are also somewhat protected from the virus.

Those four main blood groups—A, AB, B, and O—can be Rh-positive or Rh-negative, meaning that there are 8 blood groups in total. When the researchers looked at this second classification, there was further good news—people in any blood group which is Rh-negative are also “somewhat protected” from the virus.

“An Rh− status seemed protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection,” the study authors wrote. Additionally, “Rh− had a lower [adjusted relative risk] of severe COVID-19 illness or death.”

Those who are O-negative may be the least likely to get COVID.

If a patient was O-negative, they were particularly protected from the novel coronavirus, the authors noted. “Rh− blood type was protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially for those who were O-negative,” they wrote.

Unfortunately, this is a much more rare blood type. The American Red Cross reports that 8 percent of white Americans, 4 percent of African-Americans, 4 percent of Latinx-Americans, and 1 percent of Asian-Americans are O-negative.

Here is the “source” that failed to source rhesusnegative.net:

“Joel Ray, MD, of St. Michael’s Hospital, suggested that people with these more resistant blood types may have already developed antibodies that can recognize certain aspects of the novel coronavirus and are therefore better prepared to fight it off”.

O and Rh-negative blood types may already have COVID-19 antibodies.
