As you read this list, understand cell lines and
vaccines do become contaminated. This is often hidden under the term
"adventitious agents."
Disgusting
Ingredient #1: Cells From Aborted Fetus
Aborted fetal cells, listed on vaccine package
inserts as "Human Fetal Diploid Cells."
Two aborted fetal cell lines, WI-38 and MRC-5, have been grown under laboratory
conditions since the 1960s.
The cells are used to grow viruses used which
are then collected from the cell cultures and processed further to produce the
vaccine itself.
Terms to
Investigate: PERC6,
MRC5, WI-38, HEK-293
Which
Vaccines? Adenovirus
vaccine, DTaP vaccine, Hep A vaccine, Hep B vaccine, MMR vaccine, Rabies
vaccine, Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine
Disgusting
Ingredient #2: Serum From Aborted Calf Fetus Blood
One of the more grotesque methods involved in
vaccine manufacturing is the collection of fetal bovine serum. The purpose for
serum is providing a nutrient broth for viruses to grow in cells.
How is the blood collected?
According to the Humane Research Australia website:
"After
slaughter and bleeding of the cow at an abattoir, the mother's uterus
containing the calf fetus is removed during the evisceration process (removal
of the mother's internal organs) and transferred to the blood collection room.
A needle is then inserted between the fetus's ribs directly into its heart and
the blood is vacuumed into a sterile collection bag. This process is aimed at
minimizing the risk of contamination of the serum with micro-organisms from the
fetus and its environment. Only fetuses over the age of three months are used
otherwise the heart is considered too small to puncture.
Once
collected, the blood is allowed to clot at room temperature and the serum
separated through a process known as refrigerated centrifugation." [1]
Terms to
Investigate: Fetal
Bovine Serum
Which
Vaccines? Adenovirus
vaccine, MMR vaccine, Rotavirus vaccine, Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine
Disgusting Ingredient #3: Cells
From Armyworms
The FDA approved the Flublok vaccine on January
16, 2013.
This new technology is being touted as the wave
of the future. It utilizes an insect cell line (expresSF+®) that is derived
from cells of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.
The vaccine package insert for Flublok also
mentions:
"Each
0.5 mL dose of Flublok may also contain residual amounts of baculovirus and
host cell proteins (≤ 28.5 mcg), baculovirus and cellular DNA (≤ 10 ng)
..." [2]
Terms to
Investigate: insect
cell line (expresSF+)
Which
Vaccines? Influenza
vaccine
Disgusting
Ingredient #4: Cells From Monkey Kidneys
As mentioned above, monkey kidney tissue is used
to support the growth of certain viruses used in vaccine production. There
remains a huge controversy over using these cells and their role contaminating
the polio vaccine in the 1950s.
The story is best told in the Congressional
papers of a courageous scientist, Bernice Eddy. The
Executive Reorganization and Government Research of the Committee on Government
Operations United States Senate, Ninety-Second Congress, Second Session [1972]
states on page 500:
"The
next and only serious vaccine crisis that has occurred since the polio episode
was the realization in mid-1961 that a monkey virus later shown to cause tumors
in hamsters was contaminating both polio and adenovirus vaccines. The virus,
known as SV40, was entering the vaccines and, just as in the polio case were
surviving the formalin treatment.
There
were several states by which the full extent of the SV40 problem became known.
First was the discovery in 1959-1960 by a DBS scientist, once again Bernice
Eddy, that an unknown agent in the monkey kidney cells used to produce polio
and adenovirus vaccines would cause tumors when the cells were injected into
hamsters."
Page 502:
"In 1954 Eddy, as
a polio control officer, found live virus in supposedly killed polio vaccine;
in 1955 she was relieved of her duties as polio control officer ... After her
discoveries concerning the SV40 virus, her staff and animal space were reduced
and she was demoted from head of a section to head of a unit."
Page
505:
" ... even when
the contaminating virus was found to be oncogenic [cancer causing] in hamsters,
the DBS [Division of Biologics Standards] and its expert advisory committee
decided to leave existing stocks on the market rather than risk eroding public
confidence by a recall."
and:
"There has been a
tendency on the part of certain higher government circles to play down any open
discussion of problems associated with vaccines ... " [3]

Which
Vaccines? DTaP
vaccine, Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, Polio vaccine, Rotavirus vaccine,
Vaccinia vaccine
Disgusting Ingredient #5: Cells From Dog Kidneys
On
November 20, 2012, the FDA approved the seasonal influenza vaccine, Flucelvax,
manufactured by Novartis. [4]
This
vaccine is mass-produced using the continuous cell line Madin Darby Canine
Kidney (MDCK) as vaccine cell substrate. [5]
Terms
to Investigate: Madin
Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK)
Which
Vaccines? Influenza
vaccine
Disgusting Ingredient #6: Mouse Brain
Viral
vaccines prepared in tissue culture or mouse brain have been used in many Asian
countries. According to the CDC website, the inactivated mouse brain-derived JE
vaccine used in the United States since 1992 is no longer available. [6]
Of
course, with any vaccine, the adverse reactions are rarely tracked and
downplayed by medical authorities. However, the injuries from vaccines can be
quite serious. [7, 8]
Terms
to Investigate: inactivated
mouse brain (IMB), suckling mouse brain (SMB), JE virus (Beijing-1), acute
disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Which
Vaccines? Japanese
encephalitis vaccine, Rabies vaccine
Disgusting Ingredient #7: Chicken Embryos
Chickens
and their embryos have long been used in the production of vaccines.
These
methods were popularized in the 1920s and 1930s by Thomas Rivers and others at
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. [9]
Terms
to Investigate: Chick
embryo
Which
Vaccines? Influenza
vaccine, Rabies vaccine, Yellow fever vaccine
