​HUMAN INFECTIONS BY SV40:
OVERVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE
(National Institutes of Health, 2004)

"Although the prevalence of SV40 infections in humans is not known,
​studies conducted over the last three decades indicate that SV40 infections are occurring in child and adult populations today.

These included individuals who received potentially SV40-contaminated vaccines, as well as in persons born after 1963 who could not have been exposed to those vaccines" 
(perhaps the children of those who received the contaminated virus?)

"Another example of a polyomavirus is Simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40), which can infect humans, rodents, and monkeys. In some cases, SV40 infection in humans may lead to the growth of malignant tumours."

"M.L. Bissett observed, in 1965, at the University of Michigan, that the Simian Virus 40 was able to make human cells undergo "transformation." 
​
She remarked that "Transformation of cells in vitro is often related to their acquisition of the ability to act as malignant cells when injected into animals of isologous origin. It was, therefore, of extreme interest that SV 40 transformed human cells in culture, (Shein and Enders, 1962b; Koprowski et al., 1962) and it seemed possible that the interaction of SV 40 with human cells represented viral induction of a malignant alteration in human cells. To date, no virus other than SV 40 has been conclusively shown to transform human cells."

Contaminated Poliomyelitis virus vaccine

marjorie louise bissett, doctoral disseration, 1965:

​"Because rhesus monkey kidney cell-cultures were used extensively in the preparation of poliomyelitis and adenovirus vaccines and because retrospective studies indicated that large numbers of individuals received significant amounts of SV 40 virus inadvertantly in these vaccines, the effects of the virus in man were of urgent interest. "

The infection of humans with Simian Virus 40 began in the early 1950s with worldwide, contaminated Poliomyelitis Virus Vaccines.
The ability of this virus to cause cancer in human cells was confirmed in 1963 by Maurice Hilleman, and again in 1965 by Marjorie Louise Bissett, University of Michigan, Doctoral Dissertaion.  

By 2004, the Journal of Clinical Microbiology Reviews, July 2004, p. 495 - 508, gave warning to the impending crisis due to the infection of more than 100 million human beings with SV 40 contaminated virus:

​​"The viral contamination occurred because these early vaccines were prepared in primary cultures of kidney cells derived from rhesus monkeys, which are often naturally infected with SV40 (13, 95, 111). Infectious SV40 survived the vaccine inactivation treatments, and conservative estimates indicate that up to 30 million people (children and adults) in the United States may have been exposed to live SV40 from 1955 through 1963 when administered potentially contaminated polio vaccines (95, 111). Millions of people worldwide were also potentially exposed to SV40 because contaminated polio vaccines were distributed and used in many countries (85, 123). These data led the Institute of Medicine to conclude that “the biological evidence is of moderate strength that SV40 exposure from the polio vaccine is related to SV40 infection in humans” (111).
