[Thread]
1. @SAHPRA1 has decided to not approve the #Sputnik #COVID19 jab's application for emergency use at this time.
2. Why not? Sahpra is concerned the jab may increase the risk of males (vaccinated with Sputnik) getting infected with #HIV.

2. Why is there a concern that the #Sputnik jab may increase the risk of HIV infection?
1 of the 2 Sputink doses uses an Ad5-vector, which has been linked to an increased risk to contract HIV in studies in populations where HIV infection rates = high. SA = high HIV prevalence.

[Thread]. 1. Want to use a hamburger to figure out if you can trust research data?
@Bhekisisa_MG's #JoAisha (the inseparable @vandykjoan/@A_AbdoolKarim) has done exactly this in their 4-part #SputnikSeries.
Hint: When burger ingredients join forces, each 1's role = amplified.

2. The burger patty
Ground beef is the star of the traditional burger. Its scientific equal = raw data scientists collect.
But you can’t just slap mince onto a burger. You need a binder before you can call it a patty.
In research, a study protocol (rule book) = the binder.

3. What is the #SputnikV jab?
- It's a viral vector jab (like the #JnJ jab, it uses an adenovirus to sneak an unharmful form of the #COVID virus into your body)
- You get 2 doses (they're not the same)
- Sputnik is under review by Sahpra
