Retroviruses Contaminate the World’s Vaccine Supply for Pets & Humans, Research Suggests

vaccinesSayer Ji – Could the ballooning rate of sick pets, and a burgeoning multi-billion dollar veterinary industry, relate to the immunocompromising role of feline retrovirus-contaminated vaccines given to millions of animals around the world?

A highly concerning study published in Biologicals entitled, “Endogenous retroviruses as potential hazards for vaccines,” revealed that manufacturing processes employed for animal vaccines have virtually no safeguards against contamination by surreptitious retroviruses which are present within the master seed stock of cells used to produce them. As stated in the study:

Many live attenuated vaccines for animals are manufactured by using cell lines from animals, which are known to produce infectious [endogenous retroviruses] ERVs; however, the risks of infection by ERVs from xenospecies through vaccination have been ignored,[1] and which may contribute to, or cause, serious diseases like cancer in exposed populations.  Continue reading
