At least with some infections of viral origin. There are also others, such as Dengue fever, where Rh factor doesn&#8217;t appear to make an impact. \nWe have been hearing much about health differences based on Rh factor in the past and usually Rh(D) negative individuals catch the short end of the stick. This is part of what makes our findings so surprising.\nWhen it comes to COVID-19, we do not have data showing Rh factor percentages among those who have been infected and\/or those who have died.\nWe have previously posted a study showing blood type O doing better against another coronavirus and a new study appears to suggest the same results with COVID-19, though it hasn&#8217;t been peer-reviewed.\nThat study comes from China where less than 1% is Rh(D) negative.\nAs soon as any study is released that includes important data on Rh factor, we will post it.\nUntil then, everything is more or less just speculation.\nBelow are a few studies related to infections of viral origin and Rh factor frequencies standing out in patients vs. the controls.\nDon&#8217;t assume resistance and\/or immunity. Don&#8217;t stop doing what you can to prevent the disease from spreading.\nThis post is for informational purposes only and not to be mistaken for medical advice. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a quote from our study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>RhD negative subjects have increased the risk of developing of certain heart diseases, respiratory diseases and some immunity and autoimmunity related diseases, for example rheumatoid arthritis.
