A study published this week by the Lancet medical journal has pronounced that coronavirus vaccines currently in development increase a person's risk of contracting HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. HIV/AIDS has claimed millions of lives worldwide and continue to do so everyday.

Forbes magazine reported, "The researchers warn of a “cautionary tale” from efforts to create an HIV vaccine over a decade ago, where a promising vaccine candidate actually increased the risk of some men catching the virus. The vaccine made use of a modified virus — called adenovirus 5 (Ad5) — as a vector to transport some of HIV’s genetic material into the body... Ad5 is used as a vector in some Covid-19 vaccines — Science identifies four such candidates that are currently undergoing clinical trials in various countries around the world, including the U.S., with two in large scale phase 3 trials ongoing in Russia and Pakistan."

This is further proof of the risks the rushed coronavirus vaccines pose to human health. The coronavirus (Covid-19) needs to be cured. It is a safer alternative than the vaccines at this time. Already the effectiveness of the vaccines being developed are in question.

Researchers Warn Some Covid-19 Vaccines Could Increase Risk Of HIV Infection

Oct 20, 2020,01:43pm EDT - Some of the Covid-19 vaccines currently in development could increase the risk of acquiring HIV, warned a group of researchers in the The Lancet medical journal Monday, potentially leading to an increase in infections as vaccines are rolled out to vulnerable populations around the world.

The researchers warn of a “cautionary tale” from efforts to create an HIV vaccine over a decade ago, where a promising vaccine candidate actually increased the risk of some men catching the virus. The vaccine made use of a modified virus — called adenovirus 5 (Ad5) — as a vector to transport some of HIV’s genetic material into the body.

Exactly how the vaccine increased the risks of HIV transmission is unknown, but a conference convened by the National Institutes of Health recommended against further use of Ad5 as a vector in HIV vaccines (Dr. Anthony Fauci was lead author of the paper outlining this position.)
