Have I discovered something useful?

I was summarized with sickle cell trait, I noted that I am immune to Malaria! I also note that with this corov 19 they are using malaria medication for those who have it?

My question is to all those out there in their laboratories is it just possible that I could be immune to the virus or my cells could be useful for discovering a way through for a cure?
