"In 1961, SV40 was discovered by Dr. Bernice Eddy of the National Institute of Health, Division of Biologics when she took the material used to grow polio vaccines and injected it into hamsters. Tumors grew in the hamsters. Her discovery was subsequently validated by Drs. Maurice Hilliman and Benjamin Sweet of Merck.


Children being fed sugar cubes with the oral polio vaccine. Circa 1961.

"Upon the discovery that SV40 was an animal carcinogen that had found its way into the polio vaccines, a new federal law was passed in 1961 that required that no vaccines contain this virus. However, this law did not require that SV40 contaminated vaccines be thrown away or that the contaminated seed material (used to make all polio vaccines for the next four decades) be discarded. As a result, known SV40 contaminated vaccines were injected into children up until 1963. In addition, it has been alleged that there have been SV40-contaminated batches of oral polio vaccine administered to some children until the end of the 1990's.

Dr. Robert Bell, once Vice President International Society for Cancer Research at the British Cancer Hospital said:

"The chief, if not the sole, cause of the monstrous increase in cancer has been vaccination."

Hillerman, chief of vaccines at Merck not only validated Bernice Eddy's discovery but he admitted that all Merck's vaccines contain cancer viruses and other viruses and that their Hepatitis vaccine caused the AIDS epidemic in the US.
