bcg vaccine and covid

did you or someone you know got the bcg vaccine (not normally given in the USA) and had coronavirus symptoms ? how strong?
did you test for antibodies? what was the result?
I hear from a few people that got the vaccine and symptoms where mild when the family members that didn't get the vaccine got it stronger.
the antibody test comes out low for people with the bcg vaccine.
I would like to hear from other people out there

Fascinating, though I’m feeling like we’re soon 100 such theories already. Granted, this one reads well and sounds promising.

OTOH, anti-vaxxers will eat this s*** up...

Why is this good for anti-vaxxers?

They will see it as hyperbole.
