banned its use. Similar increases occurred in other states: in Connecticut the number of reported polio cases went from 144 in 1954 to 275 in 1955; New Hampshire—38 to 129; Rhode Island— 22 to 122; New York State—469 to 764; Wisconsin—326 to 1,655. In Idaho, public health experts found that (i) the disease struck in areas where there had been no previous polio cases; (ii) only chil- dren who had received the vaccine had become ill; and (iii) the first signs of paralysis occurred in the arm where the children were vac- cinated. During an AMA convention that same year, the man who super- vised the country's largest polio vaccine drive, Surgeon General Leonard Scheele, admitted that: been isolated from this tissue. They include vinus B, known to cause encephalitis in man, and SV 40, which can produce can- cer in hamsters, as well as changes in human cell tissue cul- tures, "There has been no sign so far that vaccines grown on primary monkey kidney tissue produce alarming symptoms; but symp- toms may not appear for 20 years or more." Dr Eva Snead, in her article, “Immunization Related Syndrome", which +— in Health Freedom News, July 1987, speculates that the contaminated polio vaccines may be responsible for the current epidemics of leukemia, childhood cancer, birth defects and immune deficiency diseases. A similar view is held by Frederick Klenner, M.D., of the USA, who has condemned both the Salk and Sabin vaccines as not only worth- less, but also dangerous. Dr Klenner has stated: “No batch of vaccine can be proved to be safe before it is given to children." CSS, DUL 4ISO GaNyeTUUS. LT KICTIMET Mas SLaLcu: "Many here voice a silent view that the Salk and Sabin vac- cine, being made on monkey kidney tissue, has been directly responsible for the major increase in leukaemia in this country." In 1958, mass vaccination campaigns triggered a disastrous increase in polio incidence in the USA and Canada. The highest increase was 700 per cent in Ottawa, Canada, The highest incidence in the USA occurred in those states which had been induced to adopt compulsory polio shots. Here are the figures as shown in In 1961, the US Public Health Service reported that 11 persons who received the Sabin oral vaccine in a mass-immunising cam- paign in Syracuse, New York, had developed polio. In 1964, fol- lowing many instances of vaccine-associated paralytic polio, the US Public Health Service recommended that the Sabin vaccine be dis- continued for adults. In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk, the man who introduced the original polio vaccine in the 1950s, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases through- out the USA since 1961. Dr Salk also stated that most of the polio cases that occurred in the USA since the early 1970s were the by- product of the live polio vaccine used throughout the USA.
