Has The BCG Vaccine Saved The Balkans From The Worst Of The Coronavirus?

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.

The article discusses the title and there is certainly circumstantial evidence.

  • The former Yugoslavia hasn’t been badly hid by COVID-19.
  • The country had endemic tuberculosis.
  • The UK dropped BCG vaccinations in the 2000s.

I’ll be interested to see, if this turns out to be a promising lead or just a coincidence.
