The True Story of why the Polio Vaccine is Believed to Cause Cancer Revealed in The Virus and the Vaccine
Imagine receiving a vaccine, meant to shield you from disease and harm, and later finding out that you may have been injected with a cancer-causing monkey virus known as simian virus 40, or SV40. This is precisely what happened to some 98 million Americans during one of the biggest medical blunders, and cover-ups, of the 20th century, and the entire scenario is spelled out in detail in The Virus and the Vaccine: The True Story of a Cancer-Causing Monkey Virus, Contaminated Polio Vaccine, and the Millions of Americans Exposed, by Debbie Bookchin and Jim Shumacher.
In this book you will learn how the polio vaccine, still mandatory in the United States and typically given four times during a child's first 16 months of life, during the 1950s and early 1960s, was widely contaminated with the monkey virus, SV40, which had gotten into the vaccine during the manufacturing process. In lab tests the virus was found to cause several different types of cancer, including brain cancer, and now SV40 is showing up in a variety of human cancers such as lung, brain, bone and lymphatic. The virus is even showing up in children too young to have received the contaminated vaccine, which raises even more questions that are addressed in the book.
According to the authors, leading scientists and government officials turned their heads to repeated studies showing that SV40 was in the vaccine, and even today some well-known agencies are still dismissing study results. How could this be? As you read through The Virus and the Vaccine, which takes you from the early search for a polio cure to the year 2000 when Lederle Laboratories may have still been producing potentially contaminated oral polio vaccines, the answer becomes increasingly clear.
This is a meticulously researched, investigative account that will keep you glued to each page as you read how some of today's most prominent cancer researchers are exploring how SV40 causes cancer and what steps need to be taken to stop it. It is written like a novel and you may even begin to think you are reading the latest Grisham thriller until you remember the key difference--the events in The Virus and the Vaccine are true.
Among the book's 20 chapters are truly necessary facts that have been kept under wraps by powerful pharmaceutical companies, public health agencies and more. Some of the chapters include:
The Vaccine that Opened Pandora's Box
Does Anyone Know What's in This Vaccine?
"We Were Scared of SV40"
Why Not a Safer Vaccine?
A Study Marred by Strife
Wasted Time, Wasted Money
I highly recommend The Virus and the Vaccine to anyone looking for an intriguing, intelligent read, but especially to anyone who received the polio vaccine during the 1950s and 1960s or who is experiencing an unexpected and unexplainable cancer. It's truly a shame that this "medical blunder" could have essentially exchanged one poison for another, infecting healthy people with a carcinogenic virus in the name of disease prevention.
Sorry, double tapped on that last post.
Shilling for a quack. Naughty naughty.
Wait! Wait. . .I have to get more tin-foil for my hat. . . !
