someone posted a twitter discussion yesterday speculating that BCG would at least grant a non-specified immune boost that could be protective against infection, but that anyone with recent vaccinations would tend to have the same thing

it's really unclear at this point whether BCG itself is protective if administered in adulthood or whether it's something about what it does when administered in infancy, but the study here seems to relate it to BCG itself so it's worth investigating

the real problem here is these kinds of studies still take time, but a big benefit to BCG is it's already known to be safe
Does it being "already known to be safe" normally necessarily preclude it from somehow making the immune system overreaction to COVID worse if it's given right before someone gets infected? (I don't know biology so hopefully this isn't possible, but I'm just saying.)

Healthy young child gets a cough, goes to doctor

Says "doc, I've got a dry cough and fever. What should I do"

Doc says "the great virus Corona is in town, go get tested and see if that changes things"

Patient says "but doc, it's just a flu"

Patient dies, everyone laughs

Well, some people have highlighted some interesting correlations but there is nothing solid yet. Nothing much new compared to a few days ago. Someone linked a tweet about it in one of the threads earlier.

[edit] The vaccine in question is commonly called the BCG vaccine.

There was a preprint of an article about the correlations that someone posted today, but since there's a clinical trial in Australia where they're giving it to people now that's probably more important than papers looking at the statistics of whether the death rate is different in countries where people were given it at birth and we should probably just wait for the results of that at this point.

the real problem here is these kinds of studies still take time, but a big benefit to BCG is it's already known to be safe

I think a few days ago they were going to do an actual experiment by vaccinating hospital staff. Considering how many get infected, I think we'll find out soon enough if it does anything.

It's one thing to say "I can't discuss that" or "we have to respect China's position." It's another to pretend you can't hear the question, say "let's move on" when asked if you want the question repeated, hang up, and then when asked about covid in Taiwan to respond "I already answered about Covid in China :smug:" There are a million ways to handle the situation without sucking up to China, but the way he did it is unquestionably sucking up to China.
