Thereās something about Luke OāNeill I donāt trust. Seems to be a bit of a self-promoter.
Yes I prefer something a little bit more robust than an article in the Irish Times quoting an academic from Trinity.

Prof OāNeill said there was evidence going back 30 years that those getting the vaccine get less measles and less respiratory illness.
Given the āgreat science behind the BCG vaccineā this research is worth serious consideration, he believed. Already, scientists are moving quickly in an attempt to verify if there is a medical basis for the connection.
Clinicians in six countries are running trials giving front-line health workers and older people the BCG vaccine. He underlined the study is āa correlation, so there is always an issue of confounding variablesā. So a high Covid-19 death rate in Italy may be due to low BCG vaccination or a higher proportion of older people.

Germany?
Are the effects of COVID19 & TB on the lungs that similar?
Open the pubs/beer halls
Germany donāt have BCG and have q low death rate.
Dunno. My aul lad had a bit of his lungs removed due to TB. Going strong at 86 but cannot go for his walks now due to lockdown. Iāll spin over to him and my ma tomorrow with the papers. Both of them were nurses but probably too late for a comeback to frontline now.
just a case of dotting the Iās and crossing the Tās and we are free

the low german death rate is down to the quality of their beer and their diet, the have a law there called the Reinheitsgebot or purity law, which means that brewing is strictly controlled, thereās no chemicals in it, the ate a lot of pork and cabbage too
