Pants-Fire: “AIDS-associated diseases and cancers have increased by 338x since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, according to the CDC and foreign government bodies." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it hasn’t detected any unusual or unexpected patterns for HIV or AIDS-associated diseases and cancers following COVID-19 immunization.The figure comes from unverified data in the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Reporting System. Any person can report adverse events in the system. The reports are not verified, and incomplete VAERS data is often used in claims about vaccine safety.There is no association between the COVID-19 vaccines and the risk for HIV infection or associated cancers, according to medical experts and the CDC.
