URGENT: The Covid spike protein produced by mRNA jabs can activate reservoirs of HIV in infected people, new research shows

It is unclear if the finding represents any real-world risk for people with HIV. But some earlier, little-noticed papers have shown rising HIV viral loads or T-cell declines in people after the shots.

The Covid spike protein from mRNA Covid jabs can cause dormant HIV-infected cells to become active, scientists found in a pre-print posted last month.

The research does not prove people with HIV who received mRNA shots are at higher risk for developing full-blown AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

But it provides yet more evidence of how mRNAs c…
