Still never had Covid? Thank your genes: Three in 10 people have a gene that blocks infection [?]

Thanks for this info:

That’s very interesting...I’ve never had COVID-19 (to my knowledge) and I have the HLA-DQB1*06 gene. The reason I know that I have the gene is that it’s one of the things they test for when trying to determine if someone has narcolepsy (which I have).

The HLA-DQB1*06 allele is strongly associated with narcolepsy, although not causative, so that the test for HLA-DQB1*06 is actually more useful in trying to rule out the condition.

Closing with a BOL re narcolepsy. My wife doesn’t have narcolepsy nor does our oldest son.

Both of them can go to sleep as their heads touch the pillow at night or if they decide to nap.

The number was greatly OVERestimated, it was in fact fake and fraudulent. There is no such thing as a PCR “test”. None of the people who were “confirmed” by PCR can actually know what they had. On top of that I know of two entire families that went to get tested early on and after signing up they decided that the lines were too long and left before being tested only to later receive confirmations that the tests that they never took were “positive”.

Never had it never jabbed. Two brothers and my dad never had it.

Father in law died from it. Pre vax.

Post vax.

I had it once.

Daughter had it once.

Other daughter, twice.

My primary physician had it.

Can’t count the number of people I know who have had it at this point.

Not vaccinated. Got it in January. Had chills for two nights fever of 102 for 4 days but strangely enough no other symptoms, no sore throat, cough, headache, not even very fatigued but strangely enough I lost my sense of smell for a DAY (was in bath & body works and couldn’t smell anything I sampled) and went through a month or two of hair shedding three months after that.

My son is 0- and got it twice. The first time (Delta) he almost got put on a vent. I’m B-something and never had it. Neither of us vaxxed. I have been taking the “protocol” vitamins. But so had my wife, and she got it.

Yep, I tend to agree with all you said.

Like you, no vax but a few vitamins incl Zinc - basically the formula in the “Z-Stack”, D3, whole food multi-vitamin...and fitness club 5-6 times a week.

Hang in, fellow patriot!

Three of 10 have a COVID blocking gene

The other 7 0f 10 had HCQ+Zn or IVM.

The politicians and medical conspirators that blocked early treatments need to be prosecuted for MURDER and then hung. They killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Blood type O and covid:

2.1. Data supporting blood type correlation with severity of illness
Ray et al [21] published the largest study to date in Canada, investigating the association of blood type with COVID-19. This population-based cohort study from Ontario included a total of 225,556 patients who underwent polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS-CoV-2.

Among these, 7,071 (3.1%) tested positive for the virus. Adjusted relative risks (ARRs) were calculated after adjusting for patient demographic data and medical comorbidities.

The authors found that individuals with type O blood were less likely to contract SARS-CoV-2 compared with non–type O blood groups (ARR = 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84–0.92). Rhesus (Rh)-negative individuals were also less likely to be diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 (ARR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73–0.85).

Interestingly, individuals with O-negative blood type were further protected against viral infection (ARR = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.66–0.83). Type O individuals were at decreased risk compared to non–type O individuals with regard to secondary outcomes, such as severe illness and death (ARR = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.78–0.97). Rh-negative individuals were also at lower risk of severe illness and mortality compared to Rh-positive patients (ARR = 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68–0.96).

Taken together, the authors concluded that type O and Rh-negative blood groups may be protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection and illness.

I have never got vaxxed and never had it. My double vaxxed wife got it bad and my non vaxxed/non mask wearing self took care of her and lived in the same house the whole time and never got it. A month before that, I rode in a truck all day with an infected person who was constantantly sneesing, hacking, and coughing. I asked him if he was sure he didn’t have covid and he assured me it was just a cold. I even accidentally drank from his bottle of diet pepsi. Anyway, the next day he texts me “wife made me get tested and I got the vid”. Nope, I never got it. The only precaution I was taking during those times and still take daily is quercetin and zinc.

One theory that I hear, which strikes me as somewhat true is that humans with O- blood are a slightly different species than other humans. I’m speaking metaphorically on that, to try and make my point understandable.

Because the Rh (-) is not naturally found in the human race and there is no confirmation as to how it became part of the human race. So, those who are Rh (-) are a slightly different species of human than other humans.

It may not be so much as a superior immune system at work as simply that they are slightly less compatible with virus that can normally affect the human race.

My 28-year-old son brought COVID into our home in 2020. He and my wife were hospitalized. She almost died.

My other son and I got COVID, but neither of us had any symptoms. A year later I requested antibody tests, and we both have plenty of antibodies.

All 4 of us are Pure Bloods.

BOL! My mother, who was 0- and never had any flu and seldom had colds was a teacher for most of her adult life. She and my O-negative sibling seldom had allergies or colds.

She was a teacher back in the 1940-s & for 60+ years. With the exception of an emergency gyn surgery when she was 40 something, she never had allergies nor sinus problems like my Dad and I did. She did have adult onset arthritis in her hands after turning 80.
