Monkey

They fed sheep to cattle

and we had Mad Cow Disease.

Much more disasterously,

Drug companies have quietly been feeding humans with monkey viruses

with disasterous conseqences

Save the monkeys - and Save humans.

A call to a new and very important campaign.


We are currently seeking sponsorhip for this campaign from parents', health and animal rights organisations.


The World Health Organisation (WHO) approved three ways to make the polio vaccine. Two use cloned tissue - and are virus safe. The third grows the polio virus in the kidneys of dead wild monkeys. WHO warned that this method was the most dangerous for it could contaminate the polio vaccine with monkey viruses. SmithKline Beecham and other drug companies opted for the third method because it was slightly cheaper. The disasterous consequences have now been documented by leading medical scientists - but are not yet widely known by the public. The research on this web-site is mostly from peer-reviewed journals (we will warn and explain when the work is not from such sources.)

 

The History of Polio Vaccine Monkey Virus Contamination.

1. SV40 and Widespread Human Cancers.

The US and UK governments have admitted that the polio vaccine introduced in 1955 was contaminated with a rhesus monkey virus named SV40. At the time the vaccine was introduced, it was found to cause cancer in all the animals in which it was tested by the US government's testing lab. Despite this it was presumed harmless in humans. In the mid 1970s the first human brain cancers turned up with SV40 in them. In the 1990s it was found present in one third of all human bone cancers, in over 80% of childhood brain tumors and in over 80% of the lung cancer known as mesothelioma that is also linked with asbestos.

In the late 1990s we found how SV40 is linked to cancer. It turns off a human gene known as p53 that prevents the multiplication of cells. It thus takes down a key human defence against cancer. Recent research now potentially links it to breast cancer. When SV40 is given to female pregnant rats, every one of them gets breast cancer. Although all this research is published in leading medical journals, the drug companies and governments are still not taking this seriously. In England there is not a single lab equipped to test for SV40 in cancers. In 1998 I was involved in a project that sent biopsy samples of UK cancers to a lab in Italy. We sent about 20 samples and found SV40 present in cases of UK mesothelioma and bone cancer. Today the monkeys used for polio vaccine are sceened for SV40 antibodies - but it is too late. SV40 is now present, according to Italian research findings, in the spermal fluid of over 40% of "healthy" males tested and is passed from mother to child.

We now need most urgently funding for both anti-SV40 medicine and for gene therapy aimed at turning back on the p53 gene. We campaign to have this funding from both the governments that assured us it was safe and the drug companies that profited from these drugs.

2. SCMV and Damaged Human Brain Cells.

Research published in 1999 found a monkey virus in damaged human brain cells from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression,schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, seizures, developmental delays, autism,lupus, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, unexplained encephalopathy and chronic vegetative states. This virus was named as SCMV and was found to come from the African Green Monkey - the very species used today for the manufacturing of polio vaccine for the US and for the UK. British polio vaccine is manufactured by the company SmithKline Beecham (which is now merging with Wellcome) in a Belgium factory to which it imports monkeys and kills them for their kidneys. Many monkeys die during the capture and transport process.

British Professor John Martin, now Professor of Pathology at the University of Southern California - and the other scientists working on this - believe that the current vaccine is still contaminated with SCMV - but the US government is refusing them permission to test for its presence. Martin was earlier the Director of the main US government vaccine testing lab. He now reports that the polio vaccine is causing an epidemic by spreading SCMV.

We demand that the vaccine lots are immediately and urgently tested for this monkey virus - and that the drug companies responsible put their profits into helping the victims of ME - as well as paying compensation.

3. SIV, HIV and AIDS

Finally, and again most seriously, recent scientific research shows that HIV1 comes from a SIV virus present in chimpanzees - and that HIV2 comes from the Sooty Managree? monkey.

It now turns out that one of the first polio vaccines was developed experimentally in the very areas of central Africa where AIDS is now most disasterously epidemic. It was tested in a farm where 400 chimpanzees were help captive. Their kidneys were taken and used. This variety of polio vaccine is known as CHAT - which could stand for Chimpanzee Attenuated. (Attenuated is a word used for living virus vaccines.) AIDS appeared just 2 years after these experiments commenced. Other experiments were conducted by the same scientist in a New York women's prison. with handicapped children in New York and in Belfast. SIV (the monkey version of HIV) was only officially screened out of polio vaccines in 1987 - over 30 years after the vaccines were introduced.

 

It is the time to stop feeding us monkey viruses -

We should never have been fed them

It is time to STOP.

Save a few monkeys, Save many humans.

 

We need help urgently to help us take on the drugs industry. We need practical and financial help. Our target date for a press launch is September 2000 - the time when the Royal Society will be debating the link between polio vaccine and HIV.
