Does BCG protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection ?: elements of proof. 2020-05-06 .txt text/plain 2997 185 53 Results : Countries that never had universal BCG vaccination policy have a higher mortality (correlated to performed diagnostic tests) attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection (p<0.001). Countries that never had universal BCG vaccination policy have a higher mortality (correlated to performed diagnostic tests) attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection (p<0.001). For countries that started the BCG vaccination after 1960, countries with current policies have lower mortality attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection than countries that have stopped immunization (p=0.047). For countries that started the BCG vaccination after 1960, countries with current policies have lower mortality attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection than countries that have stopped immunization (p=0.047). Based on these observations, we hypothesized that countries which have an early start of universal BCG vaccination policy would have a reduced morbidity and mortality attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Or results revealed that countries that never had universal BCG vaccination policy have a higher mortality (correlated to performed diagnostic tests) attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. ./cache/cord-351002-msjurww1.txt ./txt/cord-351002-msjurww1.txt
