Abstract

The persistent claim by Public Health officials that vaccines are invariably safe is contradicted by the evidence of the serious adverse consequences of cytomegalovirus-infected monkeys having been used to produce live polio vaccines. Aspects of this error have been repeatedly communicated over the last 16 years to individuals at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These officials have seemingly felt no obligation to replicate or even to openly discuss the reported findings, especially in regards to the origin of HIV. It is also somewhat surprising that prominent spokespersons for vaccine safety rarely discuss the issue of potential long-term consequences of the transfer to humans of infectious monkey viruses, including a role in the increasing incidence of autism and related disorders. Possibly this issue has not been well enough explained. Furthermore, it runs counter to the idea that autism arises from either the hypothetical toxicity of measles vaccine when given in conjunction with mumps and rubella vaccines, or to concerns about mercury/aluminum contents in many other vaccines. These concerns lack substantial scientific support. This brief article is offered as an introductory summary on the causative role of modified monkey cytomegaloviruses in human diseases. The research has additional importance in that it is leading to a new paradigm of wellness engineering. This useful extrapolation of the research will be discussed in a future article.
