How Are Vaccines Made?
Vaccine production is pretty disgusting. First, the disease germ a toxic bacterium or a live virus is acquired. To make a live vaccine, the live virus must be weakened for human use. This is accomplished by serial passages passing the virus through animal tissue several times to reduce its potency. That is, the measles virus is passed through chick embryos, the polio virus through monkey kidneys, and the rubella virus through human diploid cells (the dissected organs of an aborted fetus!). Killed vaccines are inactivated through heat, chemicals or radiation. Then the weakened germ gets strengthened with adjuvants (antibody boosters) and stabilizers. This is done by adding drugs, antibiotics and toxic disinfectants: neomycin, streptomycin, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydrochloride, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, formaldehyde, and thimerosal (a mercury derivative). Aluminum, formaldehyde, and mercury are extremely toxic substances with a long history of
