Polio
A mystery with enormous implications has stumped some of the smartest
minds in cancer research. How, might a cancer-causing monkey virus,
wind up in human tumors? The mystery began in 1988 with Dr. Michael
Carbone. He found the SV40 virus in 60% of the human lung tumors he
was studying, (SV40 stands for Simian Virus the 40th virus found).
Eventually, sixty different labs confirmed the results.
http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/02/002bookchin.htm
In the same year in Boston, two researchers stumbled onto something
disturbing. Dr. Robert Garcea and his assistant, Dr. John Bergsagel,
were using a powerful new tool called polymerase chain reaction, or
PCR, to look for a pair of common human viruses in children's brain
tumors. But a different DNA footprint kept popping up in more than
half the tumors. They finally realized they were seeing SV40. For more
than a decade, scientists had reported sporadic findings of SV40-like
proteins in human tumors. But the earlier tests were primitive and the
results suspect. PCR, however, is capable of amplifying infinitesimal
fragments of DNA, which makes detections far more credible. The
findings were troubling. The researchers noted in their published
report that the children were too young to have received the
contaminated vaccine. But somehow the virus had infected them and
embedded itself in their tumors.
PCR unleashed a wave of SV40 discoveries. By the end of 1996, dozens
of scientists reported finding SV40 in a variety of bone cancers and a
wide range of brain cancers, which had risen 30 percent over the
previous 20 years. Then, Italian researchers reported finding SV40 in
45 percent of the seminal fluid samples and 23 percent of the blood
samples they had taken from healthy donors. That meant SV40 could have
been spreading through sexual activity, from mother to child, or by
other means, which could explain how those never inoculated with the
contaminated vaccine, such as the Boston children, were being
infected.
The Oral Sabin Polio vaccine is cultured in monkey kidney tissue.
Vaccine makers insist every batch of Polio vaccine is screened for
contaminants such as SV40. But a lawyer involved in a recent Polio
case just published a report claiming the contamination continues.
"Many here voice a silent view that the Salk and Sabin Polio vaccine,
being made of monkey kidney tissue has been directly responsible for
the major increase in Leukemia in this country," states Dr. Frederick
Klenner Polio Researcher, USA. This disease hardly occurs in the West
anymore. However, it seems the days of Polio are still with us. Not in
the form of acute viral outbreaks of fever and paralysis, but in the
unexplored statistics on the long-term effects from the viral
contaminated Polio vaccines given to countless children and adults
three decades ago. What other undetectable monkey viruses have been
transmitted in the vaccine batches lately? These unanswered questions
continue to resurface in today's research and still riddle retired
scientist Ben Sweet. As a senior research scientist for a major
pharmaceutical company from 1959 to 1964, Dr. Sweet was one of those
responsible for the research, development and field-testing of the
killed Polio virus vaccine. As many as twenty six of the Simian
contaminants were readily detected but still other viruses, like SV40
slipped past rigorous quality control testing procedures available at
that time.
Four years after the development of the Salk vaccine, Bernice Eddy of
the National Institutes of Health discovered the contamination of the
vaccine with SV40. she noticed something strange while looking through
her microscope. Monkey kidney cells, the same kind used to make the
vaccine. were dying without apparent cause. So she tried an
experiment. She prepared kidney extracts from eight to ten rhesus
monkeys and injected tiny amounts under the skin of twenty-three new
born hamsters. Within nine months, 'large, malignant, subcutaneous
tumors' appeared on twenty of the animals. On July 6, 1960, concerned
that a monkey virus might be contaminating the polio vaccine, Eddy
took her findings to Dr. Joseph Smadel, chief of the NIH's biologics
division. Smadel dismissed the tumors as harmless 'lumps.' The same
year, however, at a Merck laboratory in Pennsylvania, Dr. Maurice
Hilleman (don't miss this video) and Dr. Ben Sweet isolated the virus.
They called it simian virus 40, or SV40, because it was the 40th virus
found in rhesus kidney tissue.
In the aftermath of the debacle, Bernice Eddy was taken off of polio
research and transferred to the influenza section by the thankless NIH
management. She shared her frustrations with a small group of women
scientists who ate brown-bag lunches on the steps of one of the
laboratories. There, Eddy met a tenacious woman scientist named Sarah
Stewart, who was waging her own battle against the official paradigms
of bureaucratic medicine. Bernice Eddy and Sarah Stewart became close
friends. Sarah Stewart's name remains virtually unknown today despite
her huge contribution to modern medicine. Not only did she prove that
some cancers were caused by viruses, but subsequent research on the
virus she discovered led to the discovery of DNA recombination, which
is the most powerful tool in medical research today. From the
beginning, Sarah Stewart promoted the idea that cancer was caused by
viruses. Due to this, she was not well accepted by the NIH or NCI
staffs who described her as 'an eccentric lady' determined to prove
her theory was right. 'No one believed her .' Finally, she was given
access to an NCI laboratory in Bethesda where she could try to prove
her theories. In 1953, she almost succeeded, but her work was not
accepted by the ruling crowd at NIH. They found her methods sloppy and
objected to the fact that she did not culture her viruses. So in 1956,
her lunch partner Bernice Eddy showed Sarah Stewart how to grow her
viruses in a culture of mouse cells. She now had all the ingredients
she needed and began a series of experiments which are called
'classic' by modern day NIH researchers. In 1957, Stewart and Eddy
discovered the polyoma virus which produced several types of cancer in
a variety of small mammals. Polyoma proved that some cancers were
indeed caused by viruses. Her discovery officially threw open the
doors of cancer virology. As Rabson phrased it, 'Suddenly, the whole
place just exploded after Sarah found polyoma.' It was the beginning
of a new era of hope. But it raised some dark questions about earlier
deeds. Before long Yale's laboratory discovered that the polyoma virus
that had produced the cancer in Stewart's mice and hamsters turned out
to be virtually identical to Simian Virus #40 (SV-40). In October
1960, Eddy gave a talk to the Cancer Society in New York and, without
warning NIH in advance, announced that she had examined cells from the
monkeys kidneys in which the polio virus was grown and had found they
were infected with cancer causing viruses. Her inference was clear:
There were cancer-causing monkey viruses in the polio vaccine. She
warned an epidemic of cancer in America was in the making. When the
word got back to her NIH bosses, they exploded in anger. When the
cussing stopped, they crushed Bernice Eddy professionally. Any mention
of cancer-causing monkey viruses in the polio vaccine was not welcomed
by NIH. They took away her lab, destroyed her animals, put her under a
gag order, prevented her from attending professional meetings, and
delayed publication of her scientific paper. In the words of Edward
Shorter, author of The Health Century, 'Her treatment became a scandal
within the scientific community.' Later, it became the subject of a
congressional inquiry. In the words of Dr. Lawrence Kilham, a fellow
NIH researcher who wrote a latter of protest to the Surgeon General's
office, 'the presence of a cancer virus in the polio virus vaccine is
the matter demanding full investigation.
Dr. Adi Gazdar of the University of Texas, who led the second study,
said it had to be more than coincidence that the four types of tumors
found in hamsters after injection with SV40, brain, bone, mesothelioma
and lymphomas, are now exactly the same tumor types in humans found
with detectable levels of SV40.
Dr. Sweet said, "It was a frightening discovery because, back then,
it was not possible to detect the virus with the testing procedures we
had. The Simian Viruses were inadvertently introduced into the
vaccine pool because the Polio virus was grown in monkey (Rhesus,
Patas, or Cynomolgus) kidney cells." In his 1960 paper, The
Vacuolating Virus: SV40, Sweet and co-author M.R. Hilleman wrote,
"This new virus represents the detection for the first time of a
hitherto non-detectable Simian Virus of monkey renal cultures and
raises the important question of the existence of other such viruses."
Sweet says there were two things that the research team had
determined: "First, we knew that SV40 had cancer-causing properties in
hamsters which was bad news. Secondly, we found out that it hybridized
with certain DNA viruses, like Adeno virus." When you introduce
unstable animal viruses into man, there is a risk of recombinant (the
formation of new combinations of linked genes) events occurring which
can produce new kinds of diseases.
For example the Adeno virus would then have SV40 genes attached to it.
All three types of Sabin's live Poliovirus vaccine were contaminated.
There were specific laboratory difficulties associated with Adeno
virus, now carrying an attached form of SV40. Sweet describes, "When
we started growing the vaccines, we just couldn't get rid of the SV40-
contaminated virus. We tried to neutralize it, but couldn't. Either
Adeno or SV40 would come out down the line. It was too late to switch
gears and start using raccoon or chicken systems, because then you
could be dealing with another whole set of viruses."
To some, the term "contaminated" carries with it intent of malice, but
Dr. Sweet says this is clearly not the case. Sweet noted that persons
fed live SV40 contaminated Poliovirus vaccine orally, or inactivated
Salk-type vaccine intramuscularly, showed strong evidence of antibody
production to Polioviruses. In addition, the vaccine recipients were
not showing significant harmful effects or antibody production, in the
short term, to SV40, which was encouraging. By 1968, all sorts of
viruses, Adenovirus, Papovaviruses (there are 120 types of human
papillomavirus (HPV) identified. HPV causes essentially all cervical
cancer and anogenital warts. HPV is a DNA tumor virus similar to SV40
and polyomavirus), Herpes viruses, Poxviruses, Picornaviruses,
Enteroviruses, Myxoviruses and Reoviruses had been discovered.
Additional overlooked viral contaminants included Epstein Barr
commonly called mononucleosis and Simian Cytomegalovirus. Infection
with cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of congenital
deafness, blindness, mental retardation, and seizures secondary to
maternal infection and accounts for disease in 40,000 infants per year
in the United States. Simian foamy retroviruses were also found and
that included the unique AIDS-linked enzyme "reverse transcriptase."
The virus numbers were up to SV59.
Hilleman would later explain that government officials were worried
that any potentially negative information could ignite a panic and
jeopardize the vaccination campaign. With the exception of viral
vaccines, no pharmaceutical product intended for human use requires
the use of simian cultures. The cross-species cultivation of vaccines
is clearly laden with risks, risks that may be irreversible, carrying
consequences too great to endure. The fact that the original vaccines
were contaminated and current Polio vaccines are still grown on
African Green Monkey tissues is just one more indication that
government vaccine officials have created dangerous public health
policies.
Some doctors are of the belief that Polio has not been eradicated by
vaccination, that it is lurking behind a redefinition and new
diagnostic names like Viral or Aseptic Meningitis. As the recorded
cases of "Polio" continued to decline, there was a significant
increase in "Cerebral palsy" or "Aseptic (Viral) Meningitis" and
"Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
For example, in Los Angeles County in 1955, reported cases of Polio
numbered 273. Reported cases of Aseptic Meningitis, which has a
clinical course similar to Polio, were 50. The Polio vaccine was
introduced in 1956. In 1966, reported cases of Polio had dropped to
50, however, cases of aseptic Meningitis had risen to 256. It is
possible that now that vaccines are widely available, only infections
with classical symptoms are diagnosed and counted in compiling disease
rates, artificially lowering reported incidence. (Miller, 1994).
Take a look at the definitions from Encarta for Polio then compare
them to Meningitis.
Polio as defined by Encarta:
Early symptoms include fatigue, headache, fever, vomiting,
constipation, stiffness of the neck, or less commonly, diarrhea and
pain in the extremities.
Meningitis as defined by Encarta:
Lethargy, severe headache, high fever vomiting, stiff neck, back pain,
muscle aches, sensitivity of the eyes to light, drowsiness, confusion,
and even loss of consciousness. Some children have convulsions. In
infants, the symptoms of Meningitis are often more difficult to detect
and may include irritability and loss of appetite.
Since 1979 the vaccine caused the only known cases of Polio. On June
17, 1999 government officials voted for exclusive use of the
inactivated Poliovirus vaccine. There is hope this vaccination can be
abandoned world wide soon. Check out the new hope.....
