Parents have the right to understand what
is being put into their child’s body. The production of vaccines uses
many disgusting ingredients. Additionally, the components used during
the manufacturing process may violate your personal, religious, or
ethical beliefs.
Lastly, remember that whatever colorful
language is used by the scientific community (using such words as
purified), using such substances can come with an enormous cost.
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]
Terms to Investigate: Vero (monkey kidney) cell culture, SV40, Bernice Eddy
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
