"Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS): 'We should anticipate seeing this immune erosion more widely,'" says the headline of a December 5, 2021 article published on the website of America's Frontline Doctors, a group that has made other inaccurate claims that have been fact-checked by AFP.
The claim -- part of a flood of false or misleading information about vaccines and Covid-19 -- also appeared in other articles, as well as in posts on Twitter and Facebook.
The article on the America's Frontline Doctors website cites a study in medical journal The Lancet that found protection from Covid-19 vaccines declines over time. The research has not yet been formally reviewed by other scientists.
But the article uses the study's findings to claim that "doctors are calling this phenomena in the repeatedly vaccinated 'immune erosion' or 'acquired immune deficiency', accounting for elevated incidence of myocarditis and other post-vaccine illnesses that either affect them more rapidly, resulting in death, or more slowly, resulting in chronic illness."
