There are some correlations between BCG vaccines (especially the Japanese strain) and covid-19 doubling times[1][2][3]. But these are just correlations so far. There is also an ongoing study in Australia to try to find if there's really a relationship[4] and some talk about trying a similar trial in Boston[5].
