Going down a very weird rabbit hole, seems people launched a study on TB vaccine boosters right at the start of the pandemic to see if it would help the elderly, trying to find the actual results which were supposed to be published in the journal Cell

There's a wsj editorial that references it and claims it was almost 80% effective... But I want to see the actual study.

Found the study, it's a bit of snake oil, but with all snake oil there's some truth. Long story short lots of people are arguing about this, and money to actually do something at the cheapest cost is always a motivation.
