Promising Covid vaccine in Australia abandoned after trial participants test false positive for HIV
Australia has abandoned the trial of a locally developed vaccine against Covid-19 after some trial participants showed false HIV positive results. The vaccine was being developed by the University of Queensland (UQ) and biotech firm CSL, which was one of the four main candidates contracted by the Australian government for coronavirus vaccines. According to a statement from the Australian government, the evidence from the University of Queensland’s phase one clinical trials showed the vaccine to be safe and that it produced a strong immune response able to neutralise the Covid-19 virus. But it explained that as part of the vaccine’s design, the university’s researchers included a small fragment of a protein taken from the HIV virus, glycoprotein 41 (gp41), which was used to create a “molecular clamp” to hold the vaccine’s synthetic virus in place. “Although the university’s researchers have confirmed the protein fragment poses absolutely no health risk to people who have taken the vaccine, they have identified a partial antibody response to it among trial participants. This has the potential to interfere with some HIV screening tests that look for these antibodies – leading to a false positive test result,” the statement said. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1769841.html Yikes. |

They aren't closing everything, pete.
Maybe you should actually get some facts before you state things.

On the contrary. I'll be thrilled. We'd get there sooner if certain people wouldn't go around saying things that aren't accurate.

Still think that COVID-19 is not a contagious disease?

Still dumb as a box of rocks?!
What is the difference between SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19? In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that originated in China. The virus is now known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20479963 |

COVID-19 is a contagious disease. It is spread by the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Do you still dispute that COVID-19 is a contagious disease?
