A little known but potentially important clinical trial using a mixed probiotic for mild Covid-19 for 30 days. 3 of the 4 strains were Lactobacillus plantarum strains. ab21probiotic.com 
The majority of #longhaulers, experience a flare-up of their symptoms after taking just one capsule of L plantarum. Sometimes for 3 or 4 or 5 days. This may be stimulating Type I interferon production via one of our cell's Pathogen Recognition Receptors: cGAS
This may be a way to bypass the viral suppression of Interferon production in infected cells. The production of Interferon stimulates hundreds of genes and makes our cells (and neighboring cells) a very unfriendly place for pathogens - including SARS-CoV-2.
The clinical trial using AB21 for Covid-19: Pedro Gutiérrez-Castrellón, PhD et al. Compared to placebo, we show that a 30-day intervention with this probiotic resulted in increased Covid19 remission.

This is our ancient Innate Immunity. When vaccines are failing to keep pace with viral evolution Adaptive Immunity is not enought. We need ways to engage our Innate Immunity.
