| 0:00.0 | COVID-19 vaccine and HIV prevalence. So this was out of the New York post. |
| 0:06.7 | Mind blowing headlines. Some COVID-19 vaccines could increase risk of HIV |
| 0:12.0 | researchers warn. Now what they're talking about in this article, it centers around what's called the adenovirus. |
| 0:18.1 | And it's a common, it's a group of viruses that cause anything from flu-like symptoms, |
| 0:23.2 | pink eye, common cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, things like that. Stuff we're exposed to quite a bit. |
| 0:30.5 | Things people typically have symptoms for. And when they make these vaccines, they use a genetically modified version of this. |
| 0:36.9 | It's called adenovirus type 585. And what is this specifically the viral vector vaccines? |
| 0:44.7 | We're talking about like AstraZeneca's where they're using it. Sort of like a capsule to, |
| 0:49.3 | you know, deliver a gene in a message to the cells. |
| 0:53.6 | Yeah, absolutely. It's Johnson and Johnson. We have AstraZeneca, one out of China and Russia's main vaccine |
| 1:00.4 | candidate are all using this type of vectored vaccine. And yes, they use this vector to |
| 1:06.4 | shuttle in pretty much the protein that goes to, you know, for either the AIDS protein because it was |
| 1:12.4 | used in AIDS research, vaccine research, or the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, the protein gene for that. |
| 1:20.1 | Okay. So what this article is talking about is that they've tried this before over a decade ago, |
| 1:26.9 | in international studies for HIV acquisition. So they were, they had vaccines to prevent against HIV. |
| 1:34.3 | And what they were finding was that men who were being vaccinated actually had a higher prevalence |
| 1:40.0 | of HIV. And again, they were trying to stop HIV acquisition. So they're finding that this vaccine, |
| 1:47.7 | it makes men more susceptible according to the data for HIV. And let's look at the |
| 1:53.0 | Lancet. So the, the Lancet came out with a correspondence. It was really a warning. And it said |
| 1:57.6 | use of adenovirus type 5 vector vaccines, a cautionary tale. These are four veteran researchers. |
| 2:03.8 | And they, they concluded, or I should say warned, on the basis of these findings, we are concerned |
| 2:09.3 | that use of an 85 vector for immunization against severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus |
