Summary

This thread discusses historical contamination of polio vaccines with SV40, a monkey virus allegedly linked to cancer, and claims that early vaccine safety investigations were suppressed. The author argues that media coverage of vaccine risks has declined and promotes their work documenting alleged pharmaceutical industry corruption.

    In the 1990s, a national broadcaster aired an investigation into a monkey virus hidden in the polio vaccine given to millions of children. A researcher estimated there were "at least 26 different monkey viruses" in those vaccines. When a cancer doctor found one of them inside children's brain tumors, his words were: "I almost fell out of my chair." 🧵

    Mainstream TV used to air investigations like this one. I compiled 75 of them, covering stories almost no network would touch today: midwesterndoctor.com/p/vaccine-amne…

    A mother of a woman with an incurable cancer linked to the virus: "To think I took my baby in for a vaccine and now she has cancer."

    The virus is called SV40, and the cover-up started at the very beginning. In 1960, an NIH scientist, Bernice Eddy, found the polio vaccines were contaminated with a cancer-causing virus. She was ordered not to disclose it. When she presented her findings at a cancer conference, she was demoted and lost her lab.

    In a 1961 Canadian trial, 25,000 people, including infants and pregnant women, got a new vaccine. None was told it might be contaminated. The manufacturer called SV40 "an aesthetic blemish." Not until 1963 were US makers forced to stop using contaminated monkey kidneys. By then between 40 and 98 million Americans had been exposed.

    Health authorities declared SV40 doesn't cause cancer in humans. But in this program, researchers found it in childhood brain tumors and 60% of samples of an incurable lung cancer, mesothelioma, including in a woman who'd never been near asbestos. And then, a few decades later, the COVID vaccines turned out to contain the SV40 promoter.

    Here's the program. Imagine a network airing this today.

    Did you know the news used to regularly air stories about people's lives being ruined by vaccines? That all changed after Clinton let Pharma buy out the media. Here I compiled 75 mind-blowing news segments they'd never air today. midwesterndoctor.com/p/vaccine-amne…
