Which blood type is the best?

   Hands down O negative since it is without the D protein and other antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. The other A, B, and AB negatives follow then the positives.
   When any testing of chemicals, food additives, medicines, biologicals are tested they use small animals mice, rats, guinea pigs the they jump to the primates specifically the Rhesus monkeys before a thing is approved for humans. They even have human test subjects. The Rhesus monkeys are closest to humans specifically positive blood types. All primates in the world have been tested and all are positive blood types sharing the D protein on the surface of the red blood cells. Hence the Rh Factor. There are NO negative blood type primates in the world. Connect the dots.

   IMO there is no “best” blood type within the RH negative blood group (in-fact each may offer different benefits) and we need to be carful claiming one over the other.

   I personally believe genetics (within the RH negative typing) come into play more then blood type (O,A,B, AB) such as the CCR5 mutation (CCR5-D32 allele) found prevalent in certain populations (Europeans etc), it is also rumoured to go hand in hand with RH- blood groups (much higher frequency of the mutation) & not necessarily the blood type, it can be inherited off either one parent or stronger if off both.

   If we start implying that one blood type is “best”, going by the below study does that mean RH negative men are “best” at fighting off Influenza A virus?

   I tend to believe that protection is not limited to just males, instead when considering previous studies a protective trend to certain diseases seems to be offered to both RH- males and females, regardless of typing.

   I believe the whole RH negative blood grouping is fascinating, as yet I’m not prepared to say one “type” is better or more advantageous than the other.

   In todays climate, I’m happy to be just RH negative and enjoy the protection that it may offer no matter the typing.

   (These are my personal opinions).

   I had chicken pox when I was six and it was pretty bad. Not near death or anything, just covered and felt lousy and itchy. I would love to think I am immune to a pox type virus but since I wasn’t immune to chicken pox I doubt I would be to small pox.

  They are totally different viruses so if you caught one, the resistance does not crossover to the other or can it be a determining factor on whether you have a resistance to smallpox .

  It’s hard to know if you/me/us might have a resistance to small/monkeypox, I also believe it may depend on whether you have no, part or a full CCR5 mutation (CCR5-D32 allele) which many rh- seem to possess..

  There are a few studies which imply that the RH factor holds a resistance to certain diseases of viral origin (one of them being smallpox), though it’s hard to say definitively.

  Though they sound similar chickenpox and monkeypox are two totally different unrelated diseases.

  What Are The Differences Between Smallpox and Chickenpox?

  It is normal to wonder if chickenpox and smallpox are related because they have similar names and may exhibit similar symptoms. However, they are different infections that have vastly different outcomes. Here are the differences between chickenpox and smallpox:

  The Virus

  While both smallpox and chickenpox are viral diseases, their causative agents are different. The Variola Major causes smallpox, and Variola Minor virus is commonly referred to as the Pox Virus. In contrast, the Varicella Zoster causes chickenpox and is commonly referred to as the Herpes Virus.
