Abstract
Bacillus Calmette Guerin administered by the aerosol route may locally elicit and increase T1 lymphocyte response in pulmonary alveoli, which are the main target of SARS-2-CoV-2 and its variants, thus preventing and anticipating the virus attack. This may lead to a decrease of the most severe forms of the disease considered as an acute autoimmune virus inducted disease. The lymphocyte response may start to work before and regardless of anti-CoVid vaccination.
