A vaccine against tuberculosis—an infectious disease that typically attacks the lungs—is being given to health care workers in Australia as a trial to see if it will protect them against the CCP virus.

The Epoch Times refers to the virus commonly known as novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, as the CCP virus due to the Chinese Communist Party’s initial mishandling and coverup of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, contributing to its global spread.
