Vaccine Causes AIDS/HIV Related Infection that Spreads Through the Body via Common Cold Virus

This is THE most terrifying story that I have ever seen.

Of course, They’re saying that V520 vaccine trial was a failure.

But let’s boil this down. What did They actually wind up with after two decades of research?

V520 amounts to an AIDS/HIV related infection that spreads through the body via the common cold virus.

This was no failure. Far from it.

Via: Time Magazine:

It’s not yet clear why V520 didn’t work, but one theory involves its vector, or delivery vehicle. Like a number of other AIDS vaccines in development, Merck’s drug used the common cold virus to transport its payload — three synthetic HIV genes — into the body’s cells. What makes the adenovirus ideal for the task is precisely the reason colds make us so miserable — once inside a host, the cold virus infects cells and starts to replicate quickly. The down side to that efficiency, however, is that cold viruses are so common that most people have developed a certain level of tolerance to them; if the adenovirus fails to excite the immune system, then any bugs piggybacked on the virus, such as HIV genes, will also slip past immune defenses. That’s exactly what appears to have happened in the Merck trial: People with the highest pre-existing immunity to the common cold also had the highest rates of infection with HIV.
