In order to make a viral vaccine, you have to first grow the specific virus in some live animal tissue in which that virus will replicate. (Viruses do not replicate outside appropriate host cells.) So the fact that this company is using monkey kidneys to grow the virus isn't shocking nor alarming in and of itself, nor does it necessarily implicate the resultant vaccine - which is made from either killing or weakening the virus after extracting it from the monkey tissue culture medium - as dangerous to use on humans. We simply wouldn't know until it is tested on a sufficient sample of human test subjects and controls.

What is concerning is the talk of government making the vaccine mandatory on the entire population. Obviously, if this swine flu strain proves to act a "typical" influenza virus, with about the same small rate of severe complications and deaths unsually associated with influenza, it would be a prudent idea not to mandate it for everyone, but to recommend it (assuming it is proven safe) only to certain types of individuals. The idea of government mandating it on everyone under these circumstances should raise a good deal of protest and resistance.

Interesting.

“The idea of government mandating it on everyone under these circumstances should raise a good deal of protest and resistance.”

It will.

Remember the damaged vaccine for the old polio vaccine, SV40, in people who got this vaccine, it is showing up in malignant tumors to this day.

Especially, when it appears there is not a crisis at this time. I do not trust our government.

I wonder if this is designed to go awry so a “health crisis” can be declared, and the Constitution fully suspended..
