COVID-19 vaccines contain proteins from HIV; “if you have taken the third dose, go and take a test for AIDS, then sue your government”
FULL CLAIM: COVID-19 vaccines contain proteins from HIV; "if you have taken the third dose, go and take a test for AIDS, then sue your government"; "Why was this kept from…You??" The claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) because they contain proteins from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—the virus responsible for AIDS—circulated on social media in December 2023. This claim already appeared in October 2023, and an analysis from Reuters found it inaccurate. [...] The reel then cut to the question, "Why was this kept from…You??" and to a statement by virologist Luc Montagnier saying "if you have taken the third dose, go and take a test for AIDS, then sue your government". Montagnier propagated disinformation against vaccines and COVID-19 on numerous occasions.
