Warning rose by a group of researchers in 2007 that an experimental HIV vaccine increased the risk for infection with the AIDS virus

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

It is hard to make sense of what is going on in this world. As a journalist, I have to sift through pages and pages of research, fact finding and determining what to present to the Toronto Caribbean community. One thing that I do know is that the powers that be are not telling us everything. There are critical pieces of information that must be shared in the case that it could affect a member of our community, communities living in Canada, and communities around the world.

In my recent fact finding quest, I came across some literature that I found disquieting. Apparently certain COVID-19 vaccines could increase susceptibility to HIV. This was a warning raised by a group of researchers who in 2007 learned that an experimental HIV vaccine had increased in some people the risk for infection with the AIDS virus.

Acquired (or secondary) immunodeficiency is one of the major causes of infections in adults. These immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system partially or as a whole, making your body an easy target for several diseases and infections. When immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system, your body can no longer fight bacteria and diseases.

Let’s dig into this a little more. The researchers warned 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.

They don’t know how the vaccine increased the risks of HIV transmission, but a conference convened by the National Institutes of Health recommended against further use of Ad5 as a vector in HIV vaccines. Interestingly enough, the one Dr Anthony Fauci was lead author of the paper outlining this position.

Ad5 is used as a vector in some COVID-19 vaccines; there are four such candidates that have undergone clinical trials in various countries around the world, including the U.S., with two in large scale phase 3 trials on-going in Russia and Pakistan.

The researchers stressed the need to understand the role Ad5 might play in increasing the risks of HIV in vulnerable populations before developing and deploying vaccines using the vector. Something that has not been done when administering this vaccine is provision of informed consent documents that should reflect the “considerable literature” on the risk of HIV acquisition with Ad5 vectors.

Official data made available by the U.S. Government and Centres for Disease Control strongly suggests that fully vaccinated Americans may be developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or a similar disease that is decimating the innate immune system, but they are not alone. The UK Government made data available and the Government of Canada suggests the vaccinated population in both of these respective countries are also developing the debilitating condition.

There are also reports of a number of common cancers usually associated with AIDS that have been reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to all vaccines (including the COVID-19 vaccine). The reports show a huge increase in 2021 and in 2022 so far, with the vast majority being attributed to the COVID-19 injections.

The average number of common cancers associated with AIDS being reported as adverse reactions to any vaccine between the years 2000 and 2020 equates to 21.3. The total number of common cancers associated with AIDS reported as adverse reactions in 2021 was 430. This represents a 1919% increase

There was a huge increase in reports in 2021 and in 2022 of acquired immune disorders, including AIDS, that have been reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to all vaccines (including the COVID-19 jabs).

The average number of acquired immune disorders being reported as adverse reactions to any vaccine between the years 2000 and 2020 equates to 31. The total number of acquired immune disorders reported as adverse reactions in 2021 was 386. This represents an 1145% increase.

Are we really to believe that this is just an unfortunate coincidence?
