I have - unwittingly - now run across about a half dozen articles relating the possibilty of resistance to COVID - and the BCG vaccine.
This is an older vaccine given to prevent tuberculosis. And again, it is interesting to me that a vaccine or treatment intended to kill or otherwise protect against a BACTERIA is showing effectiveness against a VIRUS.
I was on a group for children adopted from Eastern Europe. As you might expect, children adopted from there are far more likely to have been vaccinated with an OLDER form of prevention - Eastern Europe, Russia - they're not widely known for being up to date with medical technology. But peoplebegan to notice that these kids adopted from abroad were showing resistance to COVID, and the common factor was the BCG vaccine.
What is MOST interesting to me is that it provides ANY resistance to COVID when our current vaccine only promises months of protection as opposed to years or a lifetime. None of the kids were adopted recently - yet they demonstrate resistance.
I'm not going to add links - it is easily searchable.
