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.

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.

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

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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.

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.

Exciting news for people who live in countries that promote vaccination.

Good luck to everyone preparing their illicit journey across the US/Mexico border to get basic medical care.

If the EU (or China) steps it up we'll eliminate HIV in Africa before it's eliminated in the US. Christians still need a way to punish homosexuals.

The bitter miserable thing is that American Christians have fully infested countries like Uganda, Nigeria, and Kenya, with predictably awful results.

African Anti-LGBTQ Groups and Anti-Vaxxers Unite Against WHO at ‘Family Values’ Conference

If there is a global reorientation around the EU and BRICS (which seems increasingly unlikely as Russia/Ukraine has devastated trans-Asiatic trade relations and India/Pakistan feuding threatens to plunge billions into a new World War), its going to have to be over the backs of tens of thousands of evangelical missionaries and their American exploiters.

Do you really believe that?

Much of those countries' population are peasants.

You in USA don't quite understand what a peasant is. It's not a farmer. It's not a hillbilly. It's not an uneducated worker class member. It's not a shantytown inhabitant.

A peasant doesn't know any kind of work other than physical work, everything else they consider dishonest. A peasant only believes in blood, soil and fortunetellers. They really do, take a peasant from any culture across the world and they'll be deeply racist (believe that human's personality is defined by genes) and deeply superstitious (believe in magic and every "sign" out there, believe that "heart" and emotion affect more in life than your actions). A peasant's idea of morality is that people with pitchforks and torches can't be wrong, and if they lynch someone, even their family member, then they were right. A peasant's idea is that poor people are virtuous and rich people (everyone who's not poor) are always worse. A peasant considers lying and stealing and scamming from "rich" people cunning and a virtue.

It's a human animal, with their lifestyle very slowly adjusted by evolution for a bunch of such people coexisting without any legal or moral authority in one place for many years.

They are by default, naturally anti-vaxxers. Their "natural" existence is virtuous and vaxxines are poison.

They are by default, naturally anti-LGBTQ, if something is less than 30 percent of the population, then it either hides or is killed with fire.

Turning a peasant into a human to which you can turn your back is a hard problem of education, in USSR and in China and in many other countries they haven't fully succeeded with that! There are still plenty of masquerading peasants among their population.

Thank you for your attention to my opinion. My dad was such a person (maybe not the worst kind, but a carrier of such worldview, and I have met others).

I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.

Captain Roadkill Brainworms will get right on that.
