tldr for people

80% of people who took said Vaccine (theres 3 being tested in various first/booster configurations) have antibodies against HIV.

6% developed varying levels of hives/rashes ranging from weeks to years. Currently unknown what in the HIV/mRNA usages causes the rashes.

This is a huge breakthrough considering traditional HIV vaccine approaches have failed for 40+ years, and mRNA tech is finally making it possible to target the virus's constantly mutating envelope protiens.

Yes, why should we eliminate viruses and all the related human suffering when we can just pretend it is not that bad and ignore it.

I swear these wanna be Mother Teresa motherfuckers want people to suffer.

I wonder if there will be any long-team side effects.

[–] humancrayon@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Long term side effects include:

  • Not dying
  • Having to pay your taxes
  • Being able to experience the joys of food
  • Still being broke

No thanks then

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You just responded to a comment that explained exactly what you are asking for.

Long-term side effects are called that because they stay for a long time, not because they appear after a long time. They develop quickly after the vaccination and stay for a long time.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I wasn't asking anything.

But, you're right, what I'm wondering is actually if there will turn out to be side effects that we don't realize until these have been in use for decades.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I understand what you are wondering and I gave you the answer: No.

Long-term effects happen soon after injection and stay for a long term. They don't happen years down the line.

You can also wonder whether the sun will turn green when you fart, and also there the answer is no.

Wondering something isn't a question. It doesn't have an answer. I think you took my comment to mean something it didn't mean.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wondering without asking a question is called "Trying to spread misinformation and backing out when being called out".

the other 20% did not have antibodies against HIV

the other 94% did not develop rashes.

there is no "other 14%" as the 80% and 6% most likely intersect.
