one of the original antigenic vaccines that was tested in Australia exposed that HIV epitope. It turned everybody in the trial HIV positive who took a COVID-19 vaccine in Australia.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
This refers to the University of Queensland/CSL "molecular clamp" (sclamp) COVID-19 vaccine candidate, tested in a phase 1 trial of 120 healthy adults in Brisbane, Australia, from June to August 2020. The vaccine's stabilizing molecular clamp incorporated a fragment of HIV-1 glycoprotein 41 (gp41), which the published trial confirms "created HIV diagnostic assay interference": some vaccinated participants produced false-positive results on certain HIV antibody screening tests. Participants did not contract HIV or become truly HIV-positive; confirmatory testing was negative and no infection occurred. A 12-month follow-up of the same trial (216 participants total, dosed July 2020 to December 2021) found this diagnostic cross-reactivity "declined over time but remained detectable in most participants," not all, and states the HIV gp41-based clamp "is not being progressed" in further development. The claim that the vaccine "turned everybody in the trial HIV positive" mischaracterizes a diagnostic test artifact as an actual HIV infection and overstates how many participants were affected.
