The polio vaccines developed in the 1950s by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin allegedly eradicated one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century. The media hailed the success of these vaccines as a modern day miracle. However, the polio story has a much darker side that has mostly been kept a secret.
Both Sabin’s live virus vaccine given orally and Salk’s inactivated virus vaccine given by injection were far from perfect. In fact, in 1955 the vaccine used in Berkley, California infected some 200 children, leaving several dead and many paralyzed. Yet this incident proved minor compared to what was later discovered.
In order to grow large quantities of the poliovirus, scientists needed to use Rhesus monkey kidney cells, which carried many different viruses. As a result, their polio vaccine became contaminated with a cancer-causing virus carried by these monkeys. This vaccine was given to almost 100 million people.
The virus found in this particular polio vaccine was SV40, or simian virus. It is present in human tumors, and research has established it to be a contributing factor in the rise of many types of cancer, including mesothelioma, bone, and brain cancer.
When the government became aware of this, it was downplayed for fear the public would stop accepting vaccination.
Can the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Be Trusted?
At one point, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) admitted on its website that the polio vaccine had been contaminated. They later removed this information. (View a snapshot of this removed page here)
The original report disclosed that more than 98 million Americans received the contaminated vaccine between 1955 and 1963, and explained that SV40 could lead to certain types of cancer. Later this admission was downplayed to state that there was no proof the virus caused the cancers, and since not all doses of the vaccine were contaminated, an estimated 10 to 30 million Americans were all who were at risk.
The CDC repeatedly referred to studies done by two scientists which concluded that SV40 did not cause cancer in humans, only in lab animals.
Contaminated Vaccine Knowingly Dispensed to the Public
In 1959, Dr. Bernice Eddy of the National Institutes of Health discovered that the monkey kidney cells used to grow the poliovirus caused cancerous tumors when injected into hamsters. After reporting these findings, Eddy was excused from her job and assigned a new position. Not long after, the pharmaceutical company Merck made the same discovery.
In 1960, Merck scientists Dr. Maurice Hilleman and Dr. Benjamin Sweet (the Merck scientists who named the SV40 virus), published findings concluding that the polio vaccine was indeed contaminated with the SV40 virus. Hilleman later admitted (back then on tape) that Merck knew the vaccines were contaminated and continued to dispense them to the public anyway.
Subsequent in vitro studies in the 1960s demonstrated that SV40 caused brain tumors in animals and transformed normal human tissue into cancerous tissue. It was obvious that governing authorities wanted to keep this information under wraps, and so the SV40 scandal disappeared from the public eye for years.
An Old Scandal Rears Its Ugly Head
In the 1990s, a young Italian pathologist named Dr. Michelle Carbone discovered a link between mesothelioma and certain brain, bone, and lymphatic cancers, and the SV40 virus. He tested lung tissue from cancer patients, which revealed the presence of the SV40 virus, and every single one of the hamsters tested with the virus developed mesothelioma and died within seven months.
Carbone published his findings in 1994 in a leading cancer research journal. For the first time, hard evidence showed (and was made public) that the SV40 could cause cancer in humans, and the long forgotten scandal of the 1960s awakened from its slumber.
In 1996, in an attempt to refute Carbone’s research, Dr. Howard Strickler and Dr. Keerti Shah responded with reports saying they could not detect SV40 in human tumors. Interestingly, Merck and Pfizer were paying Shah at the time for consulting, specifically on SV40. Strickler and Shah also both performed their research in pharmaceutical sponsored laboratories.
Later, in 2003, Shah testified before Congress that Strickler compromised a study by interfering with its controls. Strickler had conflicts of interest as he was a consultant/advisory board member for Merck and GlaxoSmithKline.
Supposed Regulations Do Not Solve the Problem
After numerous studies showing SV40 was cancer causing, weak regulations were put into place. Shockingly, the Division of Biologics Standards (DBS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) did not order a recall of any of the contaminated polio vaccines. They continued to distribute contaminated vaccines to an unsuspecting public until 1963. Finally, new federal regulations were put in place that required vaccines to be tested for SV40.
These new regulations required a waiting period of 14 days to see if the virus was growing before making the vaccine. However, it was later discovered that a slower growing form of the virus, which took 19 days to appear, could have been in the approved vaccines. Therefore, millions more people potentially received contaminated vaccine all the way through the 1990s because of these inadequate testing guidelines.
Cancer has risen exponentially since the 1960s, and by 2002 there were 61 reports from 49 different laboratories across the world suggesting an increased incidence of certain cancers caused by SV40. The British journal The Lancet revealed SV40 was responsible for over 25,000 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma each year. By 2003, 60 more labs had been identified which demonstrated a connection to the SV40 virus and cancer.
Dr. Randy Tent, DC, ND, PhD, a highly renowned alternative doctor, reported at a health conference in 2013 that “one out of 200 people will have cancer directly caused by SV40.”
Even Though Some Things Never Change, YOU Can
The response of the CDC to the SV40 scandal mimics their current denial of the autism-vaccine link. It appears the CDC selectively chooses which science they would like to follow when it comes to their covert vaccine agenda. Most often their “science” of choice comes from pharmaceutical sponsored laboratories, despite the presence of unbiased research proving that many vaccines are not safe.
Most people have received several doses of the polio vaccine throughout their life. With cancer affecting so many, and vaccines distributed so widespread, one must consider vaccines as a contributing factor, especially since they contain known carcinogens and cancer-causing viruses.
Regular cancer prevention needs to include detoxification from heavy metals and other carcinogens. When it comes to vaccines, do your own research. Read all vaccine package inserts and don’t just blindly trust doctors (who have to follow FDA rules) and government agencies such as the CDC whose track record is suspect when it comes to protecting the public.
Could there be a polio vaccine cancer connection? Do you trust the CDC? What are your thoughts and please share this important article with your friends and family.
SV 40, like 38,39,41,42,43…you get the idea!
Are all just morphological forms of infinite antigenic variation they gave everything that always caused real AIDS.
Giving everything you ever loved AIDS never protected you from neurological stealth Epstein Borreliosis AIDS Spirochetal Disease always caused from time immorium.
/Research physicial Dr. Leslie Hallock stated at an OHSU symposium in the 1980’s that Simian virus #40 is found in virtually all removed human female reproductive system pathology. She also commented “We don’t know where it went in men.” No studies. They don’t want to know……and they don’t want anyone else to know.
It went to the male brains and intestines. I had a brother die from Glio 10 years ago. Just before he was diagnosed I had a male coworker pass away from the same thing. Since that time I have known through family or casual relationships over 28 people who have died from brain cancer. I now have a make cousin dying from Glio in Arizona. I have always believed that the SV40 virus from the Polio vaccine was the cause from the first time I heard about in 2007.
It is proven that it lives in the linings of the lungs (breast cancer), intestines (colorectal cancer and AIDS) and brain (brain cancer).
The medical community knows what its doing to people, but they all want to keep their jobs.
I’m a mother of a 3 year old. Learning about vaccination worries me beyond belief. If these vaccinations are contaminated of course I don’t want my child to get them. What other options are out there to prevent him from getting illed? Also, schools require proof that vaccinations are up to date, what are my options if I decline vaccinations?
Nutrition, all diseases are fed by sugar and without it they cannot grow. Get plenty of probiotics and enzymes daily. Do weekly detox cause environmental taxis can’t be avoided and they will deplete your immune system. Education educate educate and never stop for that is the best defence a gained this biological warfare. Be positive and don’t let deniers determine who you are.
If sugar causes cancer then I must have the antibodies Know one could use more sugar then I do and have done all my 76 years. I am truly blessed 🙏🙏🙏
Same here!
,70 and going strong.
Claudia,
You are right to be concerned. The doctors will never tell you the truth about vaccines. I am the mother of a 6 yr old. I had already learned about vaccines causing many problems, but when I got pregnant, I really started researching those issues. There have been so many injuries, illnesses and cover-ups from the vaccines, it is just crazy. There was no way I was going to inject my child with these things. Educate yourself and stay strong. The public has been misinformed for so long, the doctors, teachers and probably even your family will try to insist that you get the vaccines. My son has not received a single vaccine. He rarely gets sick, never had an ear infection and is very healthy. Most important things you can do to keep your baby healthy is for them to get tons of sleep, breast feed, limit sugar, lots of vegetables and exercise when they get older. Most states have a vaccine form that you can fill out that says you concienciously object to your child having vaccines and turn that in to the school. Good luck.
Thank you Lisa, you have been truly helpful as I didn’t know how to go about rejecting the vaccinations for my 3 year old. My fear is that schools will reject his attendance because he doesn’t have the vaccinations. I will study more about the forms available to consciously object having my son vaccinated.
Also, most of the childhood illnesses are no big deal for a normally healthy child. Learn more about them and you will be surprised at how much fear-mongering has been done since vaccines were introduced. There are also many studies showing great benefits from childhood illnesses with fever. Just let the fever run its course and the body will naturally mount the appropriate response to move through it and develop lifelong immunity.
They will. If you choose to not vaccinate, you need to keep out of public. Period. Your children are deadly contagious. Hate to be blunt or disrespectful. Truth.
re: “. Your children are deadly contagious.”…..
If other children are vaccinated – presumably protected, to whom would un-vaccinated children be dangerous ?
If vaccines prevent the disease what harm would unvaccinated people do? There is no logic to stigmatizing non-vaxxers on this basis.
Vaccinated people are injected with the virus to hopefully cause immune system response and create immunity. Unvaccinated people fights the disease with their own immune system without external virus forced into their bodies. Who is more contagious?
I don’t worry about it. Folks research online and never follow up that research. If a parent sends a kid to school sick and it causes others to get sick they should be held liable.
How are the other kids going to get sick if they are immunized? The fact that this simple logic escapes so many is an illness all it’s own.
Yes …..if the others are all vaccinated, not possible to catch anything from an unvaccinated child..
No, but the unvaccinated will spread it amongst the other unvaccinated. Pick your poison I guess.
👍
You know that not every child is even ABLE to be immunised? What about infants? If an older child gets measles for example it will most likely survive but an infant will most likely NOT
Infants are protected by the mother’s antibodies plus breast milk for the first year or so at which point they will have started to develop their own immunity.
Unfortunately today, mothers rarely have their own immunity to pass on because they were vaccinated and the vaccine cannot provide the same permanent immunity.
You can get a religious exemption waiver for your child not to be vaccinated through your local health department. Unless you live in California where they are forcing vaccines now.
Young moms stay strong and true to your concerns and don’t be bullied by the government and those who would say you must vaccinate. My unvaccinated son is now 34 years old—a very healthy young man productively working in technology. He was never denied an education in public and private schools and college.
I studied the issue way back then and found plenty then to warrant not giving him even the limited shots they had then. Now California law has removed the easy out to getting vaccinations, making it mandatory unless a doctor states it would do harm (if you can find one who will stick his neck out to provide the waver). It is a horrible stripping of liberty.
I dont want to give my child vaccinations but we travel a lot. Do you think travelling to different continents might be a problem if not vaccinated?
It definitely is a horrible stripping of liberty!!!…… My grandchildren live in California, and my daughter who has always been very involved in the local school doesn’t know what she’s going to do now.
Has anyone initiated a class action suit?
I vividly remember standing on line with my dad to receve this new vaccine for the prevention of polio. It was 1955 or soon after. By 1962 I was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma in my left leg. My leg was amputated above the knee in order to save my life. I am one of the lucky ones to have survived, but what a terrible price I have paid. Would a class action suit bring back my leg? For the other children who were victims of such cruel negligence you have my sympathy.
Glad you survived and saddened by your hardship. A class action law suit could put Merck out of business (as they should be) and made to pay restitution for medical bills and/or funeral costs to families who have suffered and continue to suffer. I’m facing the sickening costs of diagnosis alone. Of course if I worked for the government or didn’t work at all the procedures would be covered 100%. The insurance companies will cover breast screenings 100% but want deductibles and minimally 20% for other procedures overall with few exceptions. Obama Care is awful–down right awful. U.S. citizens deserve better health care. The right option is Universal Health Care.
Starting a class action? I’m in…
Landee Martin is a saint.
I remember receiving the polio vaccine as a child. Every Summer brought reports of children affected by polio and the vaccines were were looked at as an answer to to this scourge. However
In just the block where I lived children began to be afflicted by cancer and brain tumors. At the time I found it strange, but never imagined that the polio vaccine was a fault. I too suffered from a brain tumor although it was slow growing and discovered many years later. As long as healthcare remains a cash cow people and children will suffer.
No you can’t sue pharmaceutical companies now .. they have government protection.
For autism they should
John, I totaly agree with you. Eating the RIGHT nutrition and doing DETOX is the ONLY way to beat cansir!
How exactly do you detox? I’ve only just started learning about all of this and it scares me for my children. I have 3 children, all are up to date on vaccinations as per school regulations and as I’m reading everything i am strongly regretting doing this. If anyone can offer advice on proper ways to detox i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
It falls entirely on our shoulders. The cause, and the effects. WE are “THE PEOPLE”, tasked with policing our government with the tools given us by our Forefathers. We have failed.
My Grandson suffered a very serious infection after he was vaccinated , the infection travelled up his arm to his neck causing him to loose all power in his muscles , his face and head swelled up , the Hospital tried every antibiotic without any success , after two weeks he was transferred to to a specialised children’s hospital where they operated on his back to drain the infection and thought the power of Prayer ,Masses and Holy Oils he survived , He is now 3 years old but is behind in his development , regarded as Special Needs , its heartbreaking to see him suffer , he speech is affected , and there is no recourse to justice , This is only one of the many children who have been damaged , When will the doctors and parents wake up ! ,God Bless all who work to expose this crime against our people , Mary
There is compensation available.
https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/monthly-stats-march-2019.pdf
And where does that compensation come from? The government, not the culprits, the pharmaceutical companies. And where does the government get its money? From us, the citizens – which means when you file a claim and it is approved, your friends, relatives, and neighbors pay for it. I am not saying don’t do it, just that it isn’t the guilty ones who are paying. The pharmaceutical companies have no culpability in the damage they cause, but that’s okay, because they make billions and billions of dollars, and that is much better than healthy, whole children. Let them be autistic, let them be brain-damaged, let them be left severely neurologically impaired – or dead! – but as long as the money rolls in, it’s all good! I hope you see the sarcasm there. This whole thing makes me sick, and then the government, in an illegal, unconstitutional way, wants to mandate that EVERYBODY get every vaccine that is offered. And what lobby do you think the politicians are listening to to get this accomplished? It couldn’t be Big Pharma, could it? Follow the money, and it will lead right to the source.
I have read the above article and all of the comments. Vaccinations are safe. All of you need to go to the phone book and find a therapist who can treat you for your rampant paranoia. Your children and grandchildren will end up hating you, and I feel very sorry about that, but there isn’t anything I can do about it.
No YOU need to do more research! Check out the patent on viruses from 1947 by rockerfellar foundation. Check out lymes disease! Our government hired an “ex” nazi in 1954 to make it! FDA, cdc, big pharma are all in it together!
Actually you seem to have a bit of paranoia yourself. I wish you well with the herd mentality.
Apparently you haven’t had your child die from it? Because I have… He was seven years old. Don’t speak about what you don’t know!
Thank you for telling me they are safe I feel much better now. Is there a reason I have to sign a waiver for each and every shot my child receives specifically stating I know the risks involved and accept responsibility?? My children attend schools that don’t allow nuts ( use to be a childhood staple) in CA they allow a 5 year old child to receive up to 19 shots in one month. Each shot can have multiple diseases and your immune system will have to fight to create anti bodies, this is called biology. In nature you would never have 19 major diseases at 1 time. No wonder immune systems are the way they are in modern society. The fact that you post a snarky comment with zero scientific information to back you up proves your own ignorance. Ignorance is bliss.
Someone help me out here,please…!!
SO,my question is:Is the sv40 in the Salk vaccine?or in both Salk and Sabin vaccines?
I was awaken after my second child had a reaction (hives all over his torso, back and forehead). Now I am dealing with all sorts of criticism and even my on parents make me so scare of the things they said it could happen and how it will be in my conscience if God forbid something happens to my kids. The more a read the more I am sure that I am doing what’s best for my family.
At least their pediatrician is not pushing me to vaccinate them (I stop all vaccines on my 4 y/o too), but still I feel the pressure now that his almost ready for school.
I am researching the HeLa cells and at one point, I stumbled upon where they were running out of SV40 cells and replaced them with HeLa cells in the polio vaccine. Does anyone have any further information on this topic? Thanks in advance!
They used HeLa cells to test the polio vaccine, HeLa cells aren’t actually in the vaccine. Also they didn’t “run out” of SV40 virus, they didn’t even know that the SV40 virus was in the vaccine. The SV40 virus wasn’t discovered until after the polio vaccine was developed.
Appreciating the dedication you put into your site and detailed information you offer.
It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while
that isn’t the same old rehashed information. Wonderful read!
I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS
feeds to my Google account.
When I took my son to hospital for suspected appendix,the dr asked was I up to date with vaccines, I said”no,I have not had any of my children vaccinated, she said “I totally agree with you not given vaccines.”
Hi Tracey,
That is great to hear that some doctor’s are coming around!
no tim couch your 3 year old isnt paralyzed after getting the polio vaccination colorado study showed 11 out of 12 kids with the ev-d68 had recently gotten the polio vaccine something is not right with the todays polio vaccine im only researching this because a girl i met recently and her 3 year old daughter and from what ive read so far i can say there are now 350 cases in the usa and thankyou staci on the lymes disease i got it in2002 and wasnt diagnosed until 2011 when i researched it i thought damn ticks went from lymes connetticut to the west coast quicker hitchiking with deer quicker than it took me to hitchike from trinity county california to sturgis south dakota with truck drivers
Oh, this article nearly got me. It’s just a well written bs article regarding antivaccines. Yes, science has gone TERRIBLY TERRIBLY wrong in the past and still today. But to lump all vaccines as ‘contamination cover-up anti CDC’ is nothing short of foolishness. Yeah, let’s all go back to the 30’s, 50’s 60’s when TB, polio, chigella, etc., were so rampant that a pandemic even here in US would be utterly inevitable. These authors are unbelievably irresponsible and most certainly are not physicians. Just nay-sayers; personally, I’d rather get cancer than to die of tuberculosis or polio. Yeah, the government is one huge great big fat liar. But there are millions of Dr’s out there that hate insurance companies and their greed, yet they still believe in vaccines. Autism via vaccine has been disproven 100x over and over yet, sites like these still one of in fear mongering. My thing is: if you or your family is is not vaccinated-please stay far far away from KY, OH, IN, please. People with compromised or auto immune disorders are extremely susceptible to catching whatever others chose not to vaccinate themselves or family against. When you choose not to vaccinate, you are risking infecting at least 8 people, and each of those 8 people risk infecting 8 more people and so on. This is the road to a pandemic. Please, stop believing everything you read and you can only ascertain facts by open-mindedly reading and researching both “sides” equally. Reading articles is not research, you also have to research their data they present because, again, please believe me, evvvveryone has an agenda and people refuse to believe they are able to be manipulated but three exactly what it is. It’s far far too easy to be manipulated. That’s enough from the peanut gallery, (me). Just please be extremely responsible when it comes to your health and most importantly be responsible with the innocent and unknowing health of those you come into contact with when unvaccinated.
I’m not here to judge or argue or debate, just be responsible and do an exhorbant amount of research before choosing against vaccines. It only effects other, innocent people. Thanks for reading.
Big Pharma is well represented in your comments. You have proved that you are good at parroting talking points that are put out by the CDC. who owns many patents on vaccines. You may also want to educate yourself on the dangers of vaccines.Please check out the Vaccine Compensation Act that has awarded 3.5 billion to vaccine deaths and injuries. You may also want to know that the FDA. that is in charge of regulating the pharmaceutical industry is on there payroll no conflict of interest there.
Millie thanks for giving your two cents in this debate it’s nice to know that you can regurgitate all of Big Pharmas. talking points. Vaccines are not safe and a huge lawsuit won by Robert Kennedy JR. has just proved this. And you might also want to be aware of the fact that there is a thing known as virus shedding that enables recently vaccinated people to expose others to the viruses they were vaccinated for. Please get informed and remember ignorance is not bliss.
And with SV40 it was found to transmit vertically from mother to child.
Real truth, the government run experiments all of the to on the population. For example the syphilis vaccination of 600 black men. From 1932 until 1972. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment. Wickedness by the US government. So this cancer vaccine comes as no surprise
