Re: Corona Virus
Yes, Margaret, trials of the vaccine that was being developed by the University of Queensland have been abandoned and the contract for the supply of fifty-one million doses ordered by the Government has been terminated. This vaccine contained a very small amount of HIV protein and there have been some false positive HIV test results in a number of trial participants..
It has been emphasised that these ARE false readings and the health of the participants has not been put at risk. A statement was issued that the government was worried that public confidence could slip and do not want to risk Australians rejecting having the jab out of HIV fears – despite these being false positives. So they will not be using this particular vaccine.
