  Australia scraps Covid-19 vaccine development after trials causes serious issues

  Posted by Nigel on 17 December 2020 at 1:43 pm

  Australia has abandoned the development of a domestically-made coronavirus vaccine after participants in clinical trials for the jab returned false positive test results for HIV.

  The drug, created by the University of Queensland (UQ) and biotech firm CSL, triggered a “robust” immune response to SARS-COV-2 in phase 1 trials, but it also led to some “unfortunate complications” involving another dangerous virus.

  Antibodies that were shielding participants from a Covid-19 infection were also leading to false positives on HIV tests.

  Although no trial participant had actually contracted HIV, Australia’s Health Minister Greg Hunt acknowledged that the bizarre side-effect interferes with HIV screening. There is no known cure for the virus, which attacks the immune system, and if left untreated HIV can lead to AIDS.

  According to the vaccine’s developers, the problem could take a year to troubleshoot. The setback has prompted CSL and the Australian government to cancel phase 2 and phase 3 trials.

  The coronavirus jab was one of four candidates commissioned by Canberra. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that the drug would be shelved indefinitely and “will no longer feature as part of Australia’s vaccine plan.”

  Despite this Owen has broken down how Big Pharma will be protected while they force vaccines on the population. Stand up and resist, your life depends on it!
