Studies see ‘no benefit’ in hydroxychloroquine treatment for Covid-19 patients
The evidence keeps stacking up.
Hydroxychloroquine Fails to Help Coronavirus Patients in Largest Study of the Drug to Date
Hydroxychloroquine fails to help hospitalized coronavirus patients in US funded study
Luckily there are other drugs that are being studied which may be more promising in the long run. <modsnip>
Clinical trials are being done to figure out if something is promising (efficient) or not. Lots of clinical trials fail. So the idea that you only do clinical trials on something that will work doesn't hold water.Fauci is now doing a clinical trial with hydroxycholoroquine at the National Institutes of Health. If it wasn't promising, the NIH wouldn't put money into a clinical research study.
IMO it is because of the extremely old (over 100 age group) that are getting Covid-19 and surviving.This vaccine doesn't even work that well against TB. It also doesn't work very well in adults against TB. How do they expect it to work against covid, especially considering most victims are older?

There are not that many extremely old people over a 100 year old. If they made it to that advanced age, they presumably have good genes. I really doubt it had anything to do with BCG vaccine.IMO it is because of the extremely old (over 100 age group) that are getting Covid-19 and surviving.
They must be wondering was it the BCG they got around 1921.

And makes me wonder, why we haven't encourages an age based stay at home policy more aggressively.

They must be researching it as a preventative or ar a lower dose.Fauci is now doing a clinical trial with hydroxycholoroquine at the National Institutes of Health. If it wasn't promising, the NIH wouldn't put money into a clinical research study.
Scratching Hawaii off my list. Geeze.
New York City man arrested in Hawaii after posting beach photos on Instagram
"Authorities became aware of his social media posts from citizens who saw posts of him — on the beach with a surfboard, sunbathing, and walking around Waikiki at night," reads the release.

Less than 3 oz bottle of hand sanitizer
Glasses to protect eyes mucous membrane (not just normal glasses, but swimming type goggles type to wear on plane for "floating droplets/aerosols" like Ben wore)
Bandana, just in case and easy to pack
ETA: Reference to Ben is the first YouTube we followed here in thread #1/#2..... as he was in Wuhan when we first started following him. They knew that potential respiratory pathogen could get in through aerosols and in the air.. so he was ahead of the curve big time and never became positive)
Midwest manufacturing workers sound alarm over COVID-19 outbreaks — NBC News
Not just meat packing facilities. Other manufacturing facilities with hundreds/thousands of people in close proximity on an assembly line, eating together in a common dining room or cafeteria, lined up to punch in and out, touching the same turnstiles, pulling down masks to be heard over the noise, touching same computers and controls....
Your lancet link says it's unlikely BCG vaccine given many years ago (in case of 108 year old woman, if she ever got it, it would have been over a 100 years ago) would have any effect on ameliorating covid now.17 of the Oldest People in the World to Have Beaten COVID-19

For reference for those over 100.
There are several more.

As far as I can tell, so far most promise it showed is in killing people via cardiovascular side effects.This is a misrepresentation of what I said. I said they are doing clinical trials because the drugs show some promise. The NIH doesn't pour money into clinical trials if they anticipate in advance that it is useless. Doesn't mean that the results will be positive, but it means that it is worth pursuing. These are very competitive research programs.
There are some who think it prepares immune systems to better deal with viruses.This vaccine doesn't even work that well against TB. It also doesn't work very well in adults against TB. How do they expect it to work against covid, especially considering most victims are older?

If you going to break the law, at least do not be stupid and advertise it. Oh, the arrogance.
Is there a link for that?As far as I can tell, so far most promise it showed is in killing people via cardiovascular side effects.
I think there are easier and better ways to boost immune system.There are some who think it prepares immune systems to better deal with viruses.
"BCG vaccination can ready our immune system for viral infections. And a number of clinical trials have now begun to investigate whether a BCG shot given to those most at risk of contracting the infection can protect them from the disease.
Evidence that BCG protects against other infections
Benn’s work is among accumulating evidence, as detailed in a recent review paper, that childhood BCG vaccination protects against other diseases, so-called off target effects. Much of the evidence to support the new clinical studies is based on trials by her group and on work by Mihai Neteaof Radboud University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, who came up with a mechanistic explanation as to why BCG—designed to thwart a bacterial infection—could boost immune responses to viruses."
