Ebook: The Virus and the Vaccine: Contaminated Vaccine, Deadly Cancers and Government Neglect

[rear cover blurb]
"...Between 1954 and 1963, 98 million Americans received polio vaccinations contaminated with a carcinogenic monkey virus, now known as SV40. The government downplayed the incident, and it was generally accepted that although oncogenic to lab animals, SV40 was harmless to humans. But SV40 is showing up in human cancers today, and prominent researchers are demanding a serious public health response to this forgotten polio vaccine contaminant. In a page-turner in the tradition of 'The Hot Zone', this meticulously researched and powerfully written book takes readers on a side-by-side journey with some of today’s most prominent cancer researchers and raises major questions about vaccine policy...."

"...But why mesotheliomas? With so many different cells and organs to choose from, why was SV40 turning up so frequently in this relatively rare cancer? Carbone reviewed the literature on the virus. He discovered that most studies of SV40’s behavior in human cells had examined what happened when the virus invaded fibroblasts, specialized connective tissue cells. This was because large amounts of the tissue type were readily available to research laboratories in the form of human foreskin specimens. Mesothelial cells, however, are dramatically different from fibroblasts. ..." --Chapter 16 - The Perfect War Machine.
