Even Doctors Can Be Fooled

Putting blind faith in anyone or anything can have devastating consequences...

NOTE:  "petechaie" is a rash; "ITP " (immune thrombocytopenia) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets — the cells that help blood clot. ... it can cause purple bruises, as well as tiny reddish-purple dots that look like a rash. ...If your symptoms are more severe, treatment may include medications to boost your platelet count or surgery to remove your spleen.  (Mayo Clinic)  

Now, ITP is a side effect of mRNA vaccination!

This does bring to mind the SARS-CoV-2/HIV connection, however.  Remember this?

... coronavirus has resulted in several, well...viral news stories with little scientific merit.

The newest of these was a little unusual because it was based on a pre-print of a real scientific paper, (since removed just a few hours ago) uploaded to website bioRxiv, where scientists can present their completed, or near-completed studies, prior to peer-review by other scientists. The work, by a group based in India, was entitled “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag.” 

Seeing HIV and coronavirus in the same sentence is understandably a little startling, so what does it actually mean? 

“Based on analysis of multiple, very short regions of proteins in the novel coronavirus, the bioRxiv paper claimed that the new coronavirus may have acquired these regions from HIV,” said Arinjay Banerjee, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in virology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada who has extensively studied coronaviruses. 

Some types of viruses can swap pieces of their genetic code and in this case, the authors of the study say that the specific coronavirus which is involved in the most recent outbreak (2019-nCoV) has four small chunks of sequence in its genetic code which are not found in other, similar coronaviruses like SARS. According to the authors, these pieces bear some resemblance to bits of sequence also found in HIV. 

However, the authors then speculated that this might not be a coincidence and perhaps the bits of genetic code were put there intentionally. The conspiracy theory was addressed today by a scientist from the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who rubbished the claims.  (Source)

Just a "conspiracy theory"?  You decide:  HIV-related thrombocytopenia. 

It's all playing havoc with your natural immune system!!
