Sadly America does not honor its greatest heroes as much as minor celebrities.Though I never heard of James Harrison, there is no question that he was a giant for his contributions to
medicine and his name will adorn the walls of many hospital wards.

If asked, Trump would probably comment: He's a loser and a sucker!!! He could've charged millions, but instead he gave it away for free!?!?🙄

There are other people who have antigen-D, not a lot but some. Seems interesting that a lot of women in Australia get this condition. Mom has negative blood type and baby has a positive blood type. The issue is that baby blood gets into moms blood via umbilical cord and moms blood attacks baby
