Go to any website of a mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturer and it will plainly state it is not meant to prevent infection. It is highly effective, for a period unknown, at preventing the disease caused by the infection.

AIDs is the disease caused by an HIV infection. COVID-19 is the disease caused by a SARS-COV-2 infection.

So long Moderna, short condom manufacturers isn't a good idea?

HIV/AIDs is a perfect example of why it's dangerous to not distinguish between the two. If you are vaccinated and exposed to SARS-COV-2, you still have a high risk of infection, but because of the vaccine, you have a low risk of that infection developing into the disease known as COVID-19.

If a successful mRNA vaccine is developed to prevent AIDs, it would be extremely important for the vaccinated to know they can still be infected with and spread HIV. It's not any different for SARS-COV-2/COVID-19. The talk in this thread about an mRNA vaccine eradicating HIV is nonsense.

I know and I appreciate your effort to educate / warn. But you do realize that most of these posts are made by shills ?
