1958 World literature now contains 107 cases of severe reaction to Pertussis vaccine (93 of those cases were in the U.S.). At the Fountain Hospital in London, Dr. J.M. Berg analyzed the 107 cases and found that 31 of them showed signs of permanent brain damage. Berg calls attention to the danger of mental retardation as an effect of the Pertussis vaccine and emphasizes that “‘any suggestion of a neurological reaction to a Pertussis vaccination should be an absolute contraindication to further inoculation.” The United States medical establishment ignores and suppresses the data. American physicians maintain that the damage caused is small compared to “lack of 'serious' reactions in children vaccinated.” No data has ever been found to justify a basis for this conclusion. 1958 Soviets on May | attempt to launch a mission with the objective of a lunar flyby or impact. Launch failure. 1958 The U.S. on Aug. 17 attempts to launch a Thor-Able | rocket with an initial lunar probe. The launch vehicle > explodes. 1958 John McCone becomes Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Bechtel becomes the world's largest contractor for building nuclear plants. McCone would later become a director of Stan- dard Oil of California and ITT. 1958 Verdict of $147,000 rendered against Cutter Laboratories in California for the crippling of two children with the Salk polio vaccine. Cutter Labs was the only vaccine manufacturer not part of the Rockefeller Trust. 1958 The U.S. launches Pioneer I on October 11th with the intention of orbiting the moon. The launch failed to achieve required velocity. Another attempt is made on November 8th with Pioneer 2. Failed to achieve required velocity. 1958 The U.S. launches lunar probe Pioneer 3. Fails to achieve required velocity but gains radiation belt data around the Earth. 1958 In October 1958, Dr. J.F. Montague, a medical doctor, published material reflecting his growing concern over fluoridation in the Journal of the International College of Surgeons connecting the pres- ence of fluorine in the human body to cancer. Also in 1958, an interesting piece of work was done by Dr. James Kerwin, a dentist, in which it was shown that the simultaneous presence of fluorine and stron- tium 90 in the human body may result in a greater accumulation of both substances in which compounds like strontium fluoride are formed. Because of the low solubility of these substances, the body has a very hard time getting rid of them. His report was published in Dental Digest in February 1958. 1958 McGill University in Montreal CIA-funded experiments with LSD. A 1986 study of CIA develop- ment of LSD notes that “nearly every drug that appeared on the black market in the 1960's had been pre- viously scrutinized, tested, and in some cases refined by CIA and U.S. Army scientists.” (“Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD and the Sixties Rebellions,” by Lee and Shlain, New York, Grove City Press, 1986). 1958 Timothy Leary conducts his first experiments with LSD at the Kaiser Foundation Experimental Hospital in San Francisco. 383 Appendix F: General Chronology of Events 1958 The Soviets attempt another lunar probe launch on Sept. 24.
