Vaccine Contaminants

In order to produce viral vaccines in a large scale, virus must be reproduced in a large scale. Virus will be reproduced with the help of cells only. These cells must be fed properly. Usually they are fed with bovine, calf serum etc. These products may contain lot bovine borne virus. This is the primary source for vaccine contamination. This contamination is present in the source material like human blood, human tissues and animal tissues. Vaccine produced on contaminated cells will produce diseases. So the safety and purity of vaccines need to be checked for any bovine contaminants.

A study shows that 75 % of the labs contain contaminated cells. So vaccines provided to people in groups require to be checked for any contaminations. Some vaccines are produced by growing virus in chicken eggs. Some diseases that are prevented from this vaccine include measles, influenza and yellow fever. Again the vaccine may be contaminated by some harmful virus in chicken eggs. Such contaminated vaccine may even cause cancer.

Some vaccines may get contaminants from toxins that occur in source material. There are several methods used to remove harmful virus and bacteria in vaccines. But toxins may not be fully eliminated. Many experts explained that these toxins are the main reasons for any side effects though mild after receiving a vaccine. Vaccines like DTP can provide protective coat against bacteria. So these toxins will not occur there. But in vaccines that take bacteria as source material may get toxins. Such toxins in vaccine may damage human cells.

Nano bacteria are a dangerous one to human beings. It is largely present in mammals. Since viral vaccines are grown in cells of bovine (cow) which is a mammal, there is a chance of contaminating vaccine with nano bacteria. It was proved that most of the veterinary vaccines are contaminated with Nano bacteria.

A detailed check in laboratories show that measles vaccine contain chicken virus. Similarly polio vaccine contains brain eating amoeba. A bird virus in MMR vaccine and several micro organisms in Anthrax vaccines are discovered. Ebola virus is common in green tree monkey. It is present in cells that help to grow virus for vaccines. Ebola virus may cause severe respiratory problems among small children. Many parents do not even know why their children have such health problems. They believe that they are giving best protection to their children by vaccinating them. But remember contaminated vaccines may cause severe health problems among children.
