Polio Vaccine Clip (1950's)

Agh they also say AIDS might have been spread in Africa from a vaccination campaign against polio. The vaccines were contaminated.

@tenedria Vaccines aren't made with blood, and there is simply no correlation to HIV or AIDS with any vaccine. That's just rubbish!

@jsbach15

the polio Vaccine was made using the proteins monkeys had in their stomach. They attached the weakened polio virus to it. There was some restrictions over the kind of monkeys that could be used to avoid contamination but it seems there is a possibility that a scientist broke the rule using Africa's chimps.

@tenedria Part 1 The Salk vaccine, or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), is based on three wild, virulent reference strains, Mahoney (type 1 poliovirus), MEF-1 (type 2 poliovirus), and Saukett (type 3 poliovirus), grown in a type of monkey kidney tissue culture (Vero cell line), which are then inactivated with formalin.

Respond to this video... Part 2 - The injected Salk vaccine confers IgG-mediated immunity in the bloodstream, which prevents polio infection from progressing to viremia and protects the motor neurons, thus eliminating the risk of bulbar polio and post-polio syndrome.

I've only been vaccinated once since age six (1976). I deliberatly ran across a very busy six lane arterial road in one continous motion to avoid a school based polio shot in August 1982 (Year 7). Despite this an my love of all Andy Griffiths (Australian children's book author) books (including the "Bad Book"), I still believe in vaccination in some capacity.

Line up sheeple for your SV40 virus. Monkey viruses on special offer now. Don't worry about trivial facts that Polio was already on the decline. SV40 as found in tumours, brought to you from monkey tissue. Nice
