1. Some people are immune to the flu

Persons with rh factors in their blood tend to be a sickly lot. However, many never get the flu.

I am rh- myself as were both of my parents.

I do not recall that they ever had the flu nor have I.

I really wish they'd study this as if you have an rh factor, you have an extra layer of protein that surrounds the red blood cells. Perhaps this is why persons with rh factors seem to often have immunity to the flu (??).

Children seem to be immune to a point it seems.

Otherwise, I do not know what I can add to this thread.
