| > we will eradicate HIV within the a single generation at this rate! In the same way we eradicated COVID? /s First of all, COVID is still around just less common. Second, this HIV implant is a twice yearly implant. Not a one-time preventative cure. Third, User Rlad in these comments calls into question its efficacy suggesting it merely stops replication but not infection. Once a cell is infected with HIV, a cell is permanently infected. This posit’s the concern that once a person stops receiving the implants, the dormant virus will then begin replicating —- fully infecting the individual. That makes this drug sound a lot like Luciferium from the video game Rimworld. Fourth, the inactive ingredients need to be studied. If they contain heavy metals such as mercuries and aluminums, that a reason for pause and study. Autopsies of brains affected by Alzheimer’s usually find high levels of heavy metals in the brain. Heavy metal poisoning causes all sorts of cognitive issues. Fifth and last, too large of an immune response is associated with the creation of new allergies. All allergies are a product of an immune response to something that the body shouldn’t have an immune response to. While HIV protection trumps new allergies, it’s worth examining side effects especially if some are mostly permanent. I also don’t know if this drug causes any kind of immune response. It’s all a starting point for someone who wants to study it more to study so you can come to your own conclusions after studying. |
