This was no accident. Government officials, pharmaceutical companies, and public health agencies knew the risks—yet they prioritized profit and public perception over safety. Worse, the polio vaccine itself triggered outbreaks, with states like Massachusetts seeing a 642% spike in cases post-inoculation. By the 1980s, 100% of U.S. polio cases were caused by the vaccine. And in a disturbing twist, the monkey kidneys used in vaccine production may have introduced SIV, the precursor to HIV, raising alarming questions about the origins of AIDS.
The polio vaccine scandal is one of the greatest medical betrayals in history—a story of corporate greed, government cover-ups, and lives destroyed.
Key points:
From 1955 to 1963, 98 million Americans were injected with SV-40-laced vaccines. Decades later, the virus has been found in 58% of mesothelioma cases, 38% of bone cancers, and a significant percentage of brain tumors and leukemias. Dr. Michele Carbone, a leading pathologist, confirmed SV-40’s role in disabling tumor-suppressing proteins, effectively turbocharging cancer growth.
"It was a frightening discovery... We had no idea what this virus would do," admitted Dr. Ben Sweet, one of the researchers who uncovered SV-40 in vaccines.
From paralysis to profit
The polio vaccine’s rollout was a masterclass in corporate fraud and government collusion. Despite paralysis outbreaks directly tied to vaccinations—like the 266% spike in Vermont and 642% surge in Massachusetts—health officials doubled down.
Dr. Jonas Salk, the vaccine’s creator, privately admitted, "When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don’t sleep well for two or three weeks." Yet, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (funded by Big Pharma) strong-armed the CDC into declaring the vaccine "safe."
By the 1970s, Dr. Salk himself testified that the oral polio vaccine had become the sole cause of polio in America. CDC data later confirmed: 87% of polio cases in the 1970s-80s, and 100% by 1989, were vaccine-induced.
The polio vaccine was marketed as a miracle cure, but behind the scenes, it was a public health disaster.
The polio vaccine scandal is a stark reminder of what happens when corporate interests override public safety. The victims—millions of cancer patients, paralyzed children, and families destroyed—deserve justice. But will they ever get it?
