Tuberculosis, polio vaccines examined by scientists for possible protection

[FfFfFfFF 58,113]

Tuberculosis and polio vaccines are being tested to see if they could possibly protect patients from COVID-19, scientists told The Washington Post. 

The scientists said they are not suggesting the vaccines will prevent people from contracting COVID-19, but it may help them experience less severe symptoms if they do contract it. 

The researchers looked at countries like Pakistan, where most of the population is vaccinated for tuberculosis and death rates for COVID-19 have been extremely low.

BCG (Tuberculosis) is widely used in developing countries but countries like Philippines and Latin American countries still suffered with a lot of mortality cases so I am not too optimistic.
