Came by this information. Legitimate news I wanted to share

1 covid vaccine increases your chances of getting a false positive and is no longer being funded*

I'm not sure why exactly this matters at all when HIV requires blood contact / sex to transfer (= easy to prevent) and covid infects from exhaled air and droplets.

Anti-vaxxers are itching to find anything at all wrong with the covid vaccine, no matter how low or unlikely the circumstances

Someone is going to get hit by a truck after taking the vaccine and concerned Aunts all over facebook are going to rush to talk about it

From what I've read of the articles it increased the rate of actual infection. And for those who already have HIV, researchers say it increase development of full AIDS. Specifically ad5 (adenovirus 5) based vaccines.

The false positive situation in Australia was a different news story.

At least they won't get Covid.
