The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra) has for the moment rejected the application for the use of Russia’s Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine over concerns related to HIV acquisition.

In a statement released on Monday, Sahpra said it had requested the applicant to provide data demonstrating the safety of the Sputnik V vaccine in settings of high HIV prevalence and incidence, with the applicant unable to adequately address the request.

Sahpra said the Section 21 application for Sputnik V by Lamar international Pty will not be approved at this time, due to concerns that the use of the vaccine in South Africa, the setting of a high HIV prevalence and incidence, may increase the risk of vaccinated men acquiring HIV. National Institute for Communicable Diseases acting executive director Adrian Puren said: “There was initial precedent-setting evidence that there was a risk of the Adenovirus 5 backbone being associated with HIV acquisition.

In statement on Tuesday, the Gamaleya Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology, one of the world's leading research institution, has come out against these claims.

The use of Ad5 in the vaccine raised safety concerns for populations at risk for HIV infection. Aren't you glad we have Sahpra who actually give a shit about you? 😏

Sputnik V drug uses a combination of two separate adenovirus-vectored constructs. One relies on the adenovirus type 26 (Ad26), while the other relies on adenovirus type 5 (Ad5), as the delivery vehicles for the antigen

Bill Gates 'generous' donations long obstructed SAHPRA1 's approval.

In SA there's people like me who will die HIV-. And will never vaccinate with that nonsense vaccines of Gates. I mean WTF, imagine drinking from a cup of some idiot who openly said to you, 'you're too many in your family i need to find a way to reduce you and control your growth

AIDS is not a disease but Deficiency in immunity hence Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome. Why would 'HIV' be linked to AIDS. Scientists still need to look for disease caused by 'HIV' and not AIDS. Mbeki was right 'HIV' cannot cause AIDS.

Trying so hard to discredit any competitor of J&J

Nothing to do with HIV chom.

Nothing of that sort. Its Gates tarnishing the image of the Russian jab

😁 If the safety data is not clear then 🤷🏿

No this is simple, Bill Gates said no Sputnik only J&J
