A team of researchers has found evidence suggesting that an old vaccine used to reduce the threat of tuberculosis may give older people some protection against COVID-19. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes their study of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine as a possible preventive measure for older people.
As Koeken notes, as people grow older, they tend to develop low-grade, chronic inflammation, which makes them more susceptible to many types of diseases—it can also increase symptoms from diseases such as COVID-19, which explains in part why older people are much more likely to die from such infections. In this new effort, the researchers took a new look at an old vaccine to find out if it might prove useful for unvaccinated older people.
The study involved vaccinating 82 volunteers between the ages of 60 and 80 with the BCG vaccine and then studying blood samples taken a month later. In analyzing the samples, the researchers found decreases in several cytokines that have been associated with promoting inflammation: IL-6, type 1 interferons, interleukin-2 (IL-2) and TNF-alpha GM-CSF. The levels of the same cytokines were also found to be lower than those for a control group of unvaccinated volunteers. The researchers found that the BCG-vaccinated volunteers also had lower levels of some chemokines, such as matrix metalloproteinases and phase proteins, both of which have also been associated with promoting inflammation.
The researchers note that many of the cytokines that were reduced in the BCG volunteers have been identified as drivers of more severe COVID-19, which they also note suggests that the BCG vaccine might prove useful as a stop-gap measure for older people awaiting vaccination—if it could reduce inflammation in infected patients, it might save lives.

Please tell President Trump to keep his mouth shut re this treatment...
You know what the media will do if he dares suggest this treatment for anyone. They can not help themselves. This will be Trump’s fault if he makes the media denigrate anyone for dare using this treatment.
Hmm... interesting!!!
So it looks like a vaccine (a real one) developed over 100 years ago with extremely low instances of side effects, almost none of them fatal, can do the same thing as this GMO software jab (version 1.0) in reducing the effects of the Covid virus?
This one has been field tested for 100 years. It would appear to do the same thing the current experimental jab is doing.
No aborted babies were murdered in order to develop or test it.
Why are we demanding that people get the experimental jab?
Great question.
But, we know the REAL reason.....FRAUDci/Gates $$$$$cience$$$$ 😩
To prove I’m not an “anti vaxxer” I will ask my doctor to give me this one. 🙂
“FRAUDci/Gates”
Jane, you misspelled “communist traitors”...
:-)
I know, right?
Every time I type that in....it autocorrects to FRAUDci/Gates.
😂
Amen!!
Ivermectin is the KEY to prevention AND treatment!!
Dr Malone is spot on!
This will be banned by the fed in 3...2..

Somebody should try posting it to Facebook or Twitter and see if it stays up.
I can’t do it. Never joined Twitter, canceled Facebook.
I canceled facebook, but then went back to marketplace to advertise items for sale after all 4 of our parents died in the last 2 years. 3 if them in the last year and a few months. Still dealing with probate on the last one.
Kind of hard to believe that Dr. Robert Malone doesn’t know how to spell Walmart.
You gotta give a pass on typos...especially when typing on phones.
Substance is FAR more important.
