BCG vaccination to become India's 'biggest weapon' against Coronavirus infection!
According to research, the risk of Coronavirus infection in BCG vaccinated countries seems 10 times less!
APRIL 01 (WTN) - Human civilization is fighting its war against the Coronavirus infection nowadays. More than 200 countries are currently working to protect their citizens from Coronavirus infection. By the time this article was written, the number of people to have died due to Coronavirus infection across the world has risen to 42,322. Italy, one of the most developed countries of Europe, has the highest number of deaths of 12,428 people due to Coronavirus. At the same time, America, the world's largest economic powerhouse, has the highest number of 1,88,578 patients infected with the Coronovirus infection.
As far as India is concerned, 35 people have died so far due to Coronavirus infection in India, the world's second largest populated country. At the same time, 1,397 people are said to be infected with Coronavirus infection. Already knowing the outbreak of the Coronavirus epidemic that has become the biggest threat to the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared a 21-day lockdown across India. By the way, according to the population of India, deaths due to Coronavirus infection are much less than other countries. At the same time, the number of infected patients is also comparatively less than other countries.
Actually, Coronavirus infection is still under control in India, and there is a big reason behind it. For your information, let us know that a research by the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the New York Institute of Technology (NIT) has claimed that countries, where children are vaccinated against BCG (Bacille Calmette Guerin) for the prevention of TB. As such, the cases of Coronavirus infection and death in those countries are less than in other countries and will remain even less.
For your information, let us know that the National TB Program started in India in the year 1962. Clearly, the majority of India's population has received this vaccine. This vaccine is administered within 6 months of child's birth. According to doctors, the BCG vaccine proves effective in the prevention of respiratory diseases. Actually, BCG vaccines contain bacteria strains that cause lung TB in humans. The strain is named Mycobacterium Bovid. During vaccine making, the strength of active bacteria is reduced so that it cannot spread the disease in a healthy human being. According to one report, the BCG vaccine does not directly compete with the virus. Rather, the vaccine of BCG strengthens human immunity to combat bacteria. Due to this, the human body easily tolerates the attack of bacteria.
According to research, cases of Coronavirus infection and deaths due to it are higher in countries, where the BCG vaccine policy is either not in place or has been discontinued. For your information, let us know that in countries like America, Italy and Spain, BCG vaccination does not occur. And this is the reason that cases of infection and deaths from Coronavirus are very high in these countries. According to American scientists, the countries that do not have BCG vaccination will be more likely to effectedie by Coronavirus infection in those countries.
Scientists have told in their research that BCG vaccination helps a lot in fighting diseases like viral infections and sepsis. And for this reason, scientists believe that BCG vaccination will play an important role in cases involving Coronavirus infection. After studying the data from different countries and the health facilities of those countries, the scientist believes that the risk of spreading Coronavirus infection in BCG vaccinated countries is 10 times less.
Let us know that BCG vaccination is still done in Japan and Brazil, including India. And this is the reason that in these countries the cases of infection and deaths from Coronavirus are less than in other countries so far. Although BCG vaccination occurs in China as well, it has been considered an exception in research due to the onset of corona here. But it is not that you are safe with BCG vaccination and can get out of the house. We request you to complete a 21-days lockdown, and keep distance from people.
