2.011958Early polio vaccines had not properly inactivated the primate viruses and infected humans with primate viruses.
The SV40-contaminated polio vaccines in the US during the 1950s and early 1960s were administered through injection.

2.051958OPV vaccine was administered in Kinshasa (Leopoldville) between August 1958 and April 1960 vaccinating nearly all childrenBetween August 1958 and April 1960 nearly all children less than five years old in Leopoldville were orally vaccinated with the CHAT, type 1, attenuated poliovirus strain of Koprowski.1961Vaccination with the CHAT Strain of Type 1 Attenuated Poliomyelitis Virus in Leopoldville, Congo #3Plotkin, Stanley A; Koprowski, Hilaryhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14415050/Africa1960 WHO Stanleyville vaccinatio9n.pdf

2.071960Dr. Bernice Eddy, an NIH scientist, identified the SV40 virus as a potential cause of cancer in animals. Despite her alarming discovery, her superiors initially disregarded her findings, resulting in her losing her lab and being removed from polio research.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2000/02/the-virus-and-the-vaccine/377999/

22
2.101992Hilary Koprowski stated that producing a vaccine free of unwanted primate viruses still remained a possibly “insuperable” challenge as the primate viruses were “innumerable”.
Wistar acknowledged they did not have precise information about what primate types were used in these local productions
high prevalence of lenti-viruses we didn't know much about monkey viruses
There may well be other monkey viruses that have not yet been discovered that could possibly contaminate vaccine lots.
one major European manufacturer has recently gone to using a cell line and is apparently producing a safe and effective live vaccine with this method
other than to try to dissuade you from pursuing that kind of a hypothesis, because what value is it? What value is it to anyone to try to imply such a cause and effect relationship?

2.122008It has been alleged that Michael Worobey has the LMS samplesHamilton, Worobey and Joy set off for Kisangani in early January 2000j
The 400 or more chimps that were used in the polio vaccine research at the LMS and Lindi camp were not just gathered from around Stanleyville/Kisangani (as they claimed), but from right across a region spanning some 200,000 square miles of rain forest, which included areas such as Coquilhatville (now Mbandaka), where there is documentary evidence that Pan troglodytes troglodytes chimps were being collected and sold.
It is true that most of the chimps the LMS scientists used came from the Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii subspecies of common chimpanzee and Pan paniscus (pygmy chimps or bonobos). However, there is documentary evidence that the LMS scientists also used Pan troglodytes troglodytes chimps in their research.
I am reliably informed that in the last year or two he has obtained the remainder of the ancient tissue samples (preserved sometimes in the form of paraffin wax blocks and microscopic slides, and sometimes in formalin, with or without another preservative known as buin) from the basement of what was formerly the Laboratoire Medical de Stanleyville (LMS), which served as the headquarters lab for the CHAT vaccinations in Africa in the late 1950s.

3.13The WHO provided guidelines for the vaccine testing and confirmed that Merck's candidate vaccine consisted of two different but "similar" preparations and that homosexuals and heterosexuals received different preparations. They also acknowledged that chimpanzee antigens are "indistinguishable" from human29 volunteers subsequently challenged
Human HBY has been successfully transmitted to chimpanzees and although the infection is generally mild, the biochemical, histological and serological responses in these primates are very similar to those in humans and antigenic markers of virus replication are antigenically indistinguishable from the homologous antigens and antibodies from man.
The World Health Organisation Expert Committee on Viral Hepatitis has therefore proposed guidelines and criteria for the safe development of hepatitis B vaccines.
The Expert Committee has recommended that the safety of any vaccine preparation must be demonstrated in a small group of healthy adult volunteers before administration to a larger group.
Hilleman et al. 8 conducted a small trial in volunteers using a purified 22 nm preparation treated with formaldehyde.

3.14The WHO reported challenges getting enough plasma from humans:It is currently not possible to collect and process sufficient quantities of plasma to conduct mass immunization campaigns. Secondly, the production and standardization of vaccines is so expensive that the countries which need them most may not be able to afford them
Sources of donor plasma sufficient to produce large quantities of vaccine for widespread use are disproportionately located in countries which have the least capability for efficient vaccine production for their own use.
pooled plasma with a high titre of hepatitis B surface antigen (often e antigen positive) is required in large quantities from persistent asymptomatic carriers, and each carrier donor cannot be characterized on an individual basis
moderate quantities can be obtained from the plasma of chronic carriers and from the livers of experimentally infected chimpanzees.
In the absence of in vitro cultivation techniques for HBV, final evaluation for infectivity is possible only in susceptible hosts, of which the chimpanzee is the only suitable non-human animal. Lastly, the limited availability of donor plasma and the conditions of manufacture of current hepatitis B vaccines must be considered. Sources of donor plasma sufficient to produce large quantities of vaccine for widespread use are disproportionately located in countries which have the least capability for efficient vaccine production for their own use.
the 22-nm hepatitis B surface antigen particle vaccine has several disadvantages:
- pooled plasma with a high titre of hepatitis B surface antigen (often e antigen-positive) is required in large quantities from persistent asymptomatic carriers, and each
- carrier donor cannot be characterized on an individual basis;
- supplies of suitable plasma may be difficult to secure in the long term;
- which possible extraneous/adventitious agents and other contaminants must be removed;
- the vaccine is very expensive;

3.15The WHO reported chimpanzees are the only animals that can be infected with human hepatitis, and the different subtypes provide cross-protectionThe infection can be transmitted to certain of the apes, of which the chimpanzee is the only available susceptible animal
Controlled studies in chimpanzees have shown the efficacy of several vaccines in preventing hepatitis B following challenge with human hepatitis B virus. Cross-protection studies carried out in chimpanzees have shown that subtypes are not of major importance in vaccine composition.

Plasma from hepatitis B carriers.1982Vaccines for the decade of the 1980's and beyondHilleman, Maurice RAn increase in the averqge human lifespan from ancient times to the present is due mainly to control of infectious diseases, and vaccines are a keystone to their prevention. Several important new vaccines should emerge during the present decade, the most important being those against human hepatitis A and B. Disease eradication and elimination by vaccines are worthwhile targets for at least some of the more important diseases and will probably be accomplished during this century. Further increase in Iifespan should be achieved by vaccination in this century but majo~future advances will need to come from slowing the process of ageing.hilleman-1982 11 tested in man.pdf

3.29Lot 761 was presumably made from the Willowbrook serum. Presumably there was not a large quantity of lot 761 as it is only mentioned being used on medical staff. It was type ayw, and the literature that mentions ayw antigens up to 1976 always state that it was provided by Krugman in his MS-2 serum.
58
3.30Lot 751 was made from those 8 liters of plasma Prince purified. His patent expressly states a vaccine was made from those 8 liters, and Merck was the only manufacturer as NYBC only mentions providing antigens and never final vaccines and Merck was the only company that produced a vaccine under Prince's patent. Prince states he purified the antigens in early 1976 and they were type adw. The only lot that fits that description is lot 751 which was Merck made in late 1976 from adw antigens and is the only lot Merck did not specify the source species. Lot 559 was stated as human and contained a mix of types per "Development and Chimpanzee Testing of a Vaccine against Human Hepatitis B". Merck never made another purely adw lot as it seems the human sources were mixed and contained various types, whereas chimpanzees naturally only produce adw, and need to be expressly infected with other subtypes.

Havens and Ward (1945) inoculated chimpanzees with human serum containing HAV.
a more extensive study was conducted in the Belgian Congo in 1957 (Deinhardt
et al., 1962)
Animals were inoculated with a human stool and a serum pool shown to be positive in human volunteers in the
Willowbrook studies and probably containing both HAI’ (MS-1) and HBV (MS-2) (Krugman and Ward, 1958
the first report of transmission of hepatitis from monkey to man was probably the observation of “hepatitislikc disease” in 20-30p of persons receiving yellow fever vaccine containing one of two particular rhesus monkey hyperimmune serum pools, whercas “no postvaccination jaundice was reported among 428 persons vaccinated at the same time in Brazil using other serum pools” (Soper and Smith, 1938), but Hillis’ report of an outbreak of infectious hepatitis among chimpanzee handlers a t a United States Air Force base was the first recognition of the nature and significance of the transmission. During subsequent years a total of 46 small clusters with 220 cases of viral hepatitis in individuals with close contact with nonhuman primates was reported
some chimpanzees involved in early outbreaks had been inoculated with “pooled human blood” immediately after capture in Africa to “protect them against human disease” by passive transfer of antibodies (Hillis, 1961; Held, 1963
HBsAg or anti-HBs present in captive chimpanzees is antigenically indistinguishable from HBsAg or anti-HBs obtained from man (Hirschman et al., 1969; Lichter, 1969; Prince, 1971; Maynard et al., 1971, 1972a
Atchley and Kimbrough (1966) once more attempted to transmit human hepatitis to chimpanzees
chimpanzees were inoculated as soon after capture as possible

Design-Cohort study. Setting-San Francisco municipal sexually transmitted disease clinic. Patients-Cohort included 6705 homosexual and bisexual men originaily recruited from 1978 to 1980 for studies of sexually transmitted hepatitis B. This analysis is of 489 cohort members who were either HIV-I seropositive on entry into the cohort (n=312) or seroconverted during the study period and had -24 months between the dates of their last seronegative and first seropositive specimens (n= 177). A subset of 442 of these men was examined in 1988 or 1989 or had been reported to have developed AIDS. Main outcome measures -Development of clinical signs and symptoms of HIV-I infection, including AIDS, AIDS related complex, asymptomatic generalised lymphadenopathy, and no signs or symptoms of infection. Measurements and main results-Of the 422 men examined in 1988 or 1989 or reported as having AIDS, 341 had been infected from 1977 to 1980; 49% (167) of these men had died of AIDS, 10% (34) were alive with AIDS, 19% (65) had AIDS related complex, 3% (10) had asymptomatic generalised lymphadenopathy, and 19% (34) had no clinical signs or symptoms of HIV-I infection. Cumulative risk of AIDS by duration of HIV-I infection was analysed for all 489 men by the Kaplan-Meier method. Of these 489 men, 226 (46%) had been diagnosed as having AIDS. We estimated that 13% of cohort members will have developed AIDS within five years of seroconversion, 51% within 10 years, and 54% within 11-1 years. Conclusion-Our analysis confirming the importance of duration of infection to clinical state and the high risk of AIDS after infection underscores the importance of continuing efforts both to prevent transmission of HIV-I and to develop further treatments to slow or stall the progression of HIV-I infection to AIDS.San Francisco Trial.pdf10.1136/bmj.301.6762.1183

4.151983The only paper I could find that mentions placebo vs vaccine is the Stephen C. Hadler from the CDC, with Paul O’Malley as a co-author. It analyzes the 1,400 (actually 1,402) participants in the CDC’s 5 city trial. It doesn’t include the New York trial. It does not state how many were in the placebo group, though the papers state “half”, and in the SF and NY trials approximately half the placebo group accepted the vaccine. Thus there are likely approximately 350 unvaccinated placebo recipients. This paper looks at the 148 of them who contracted Hepatitis B, the STD the trial was to prevent. Thus it is logical that this 148 are more promiscuous than the other ~200 who did not contract the STD. Table 1 shows that of those unvaccinated trial participants who later presented with Hepatitis B, 134 were HIV- vs 14 HIV+. That is the 9% rate. Figure 1 provides the numbers in the 1991 Hadler Data sheet. The paper does mention that among the vaccinated the HIV infection rate was 105 vs 64, over 4x the rate of the unvaccinated. While these numbers align with the overall published rates, the vaccinated vs unvaccinated in this paper cannot be directly compared since the vaccinated presumably had a lower rate of Hepatitis B infection.1991Outcome of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Homosexual Men and Its Relation to Prior Human Immunodeficiency Virus InfectionHadler, S.

4.171984When discussing the ‘conspiracy theory’ that the vaccines transmitted HIV, Paul O’Malley stated “we could clearly show that people were infected with HIV in '78, '79, before the first gay men had received the hepatitis vaccination”. But that is not true as the first volunteers were vaccinated in 1976 and the formal clinical trials in New York had already begun. He also said “we clearly showed that the prevalence of HIV was actually less in the men in the vaccine trial than in the larger population” but that was only by comparing the high-risk group to the low-risk in 1984 after their rates had caught up. When the trial ended the rate was highest among the vaccinated.

4.22People were afraid the vaccine transmitted HIVmany individuals have been reluctant to be immunized for fear of contracting acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this study, we demonstrate that (1) each of the three inactivation steps used in the manufacture of Heptavax-B independently will inactivate the infectivity of high-titered preparations of the AIDS virus; (2) recipients of the hepatitis B vaccine do not develop antibodies to the AIDS virus; (3) the hepatitis B vaccine does not contain detectable levels of nucleic acids related to the AIDS virus.

At the trial end point (215 months), 17 hepatitis B virus infections had occurred in vaccinated subjects (attack rate 4 8%) and 56 in subjects receiving a placebo (attack rate 23-8%). This reduction in the incidence of hepatitis B virus infections in vaccinated subjects was highly significant (p <0 0001). Two months after the first injection 72-3% of the vaccinated subjects had formed antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen, and this percentage increased to 89% at four months. Maximum anti-HBs titres were reached five months after the first vaccination, the geometric mean titre being 107 6 mIUJ. Even vaccinated subjects with a low antibody response ( > 1 and <10 mIU) were found to be protected from HBsAgpositive infections. The vaccine had no serious side effects.Amsterdam trialbmj.286.6374.1305.pdf10.1136/bmj.286.6374.1305

4.26In the interview Dr. Prince appears to be discussing using the chimps for testing a vaccine rather than using their blood in the vaccine as is expressly stated in the patent [4.04]. However, he mentions 200 chimps having been used, and that is far more than is described in the literature were used for testing lots. Further, Dr. Prince pioneered the 'cross-circulation' experiments injecting raw, unprocessed chimp blood in humans so he clearly was not worried about chimp viruses causing harm [3.03], and it seems he likely did not want to expressly state that vaccine recipients were receiving chimp blood, even though he provided a clear paper trail that the 'adw' antigens in Lot 751 were the 8 liters he extracted in 1976 [3.28] and used described as vaccine #1 in his patent.Given the prevalence of hepatitis B - there are an estimated 200 million carriers in the world - it is difficult to say that chimps should not have been used in the development of a vaccine.
''Hepatitis for a chimp is like a glass of water,'' said Dr. Muchmore. ''They don't get sick. In a way, this testing is a way the chimps pay their dues to a society that is saving them from extinction.'
'These studies made possible the testing of a hepatitis B vaccine in man within 10 years of the discovery of a hepatitis B surface antigen - a truly remarkable achievement.''

5.0419952006Correlates of HIV infection among former blood/plasma donors in rural ChinaJi, Guoping; Detels, Roger; Wu, Zunyou; Yin, Yuepinghttps://journals.lww.com/00002030-200602280-00012Background: In 1995, when the first cases of HIV infection were reported among former plasma donors (FPDs), the Chinese government closed all commercial plasma collection stations. Objective: To determine the prevalence of HIV among FPDs and non-donors in affected villages in Anhui, China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among residents, aged 25–55 years, in 40 villages randomly selected from villages with many former blood/plasma donors, using a two-stage clustered sampling method. A questionnaire was administered faceto-face to 1997 villagers without collecting any identifying information, and venous blood specimens were collected for HIV testing with two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and western blotting. EpiData was used for data entry, and STATA was used for data analysis. Results: Overall HIV prevalence was 10.8%, with values of 15.1% among FPDs and 4.8% among non-donors. Among FPDs, factors associated with HIV infection included: donating plasma more than 10 times [odds ratio (OR) 4.09; P < 0.001] compared with subjects who donated 1–3 times; spouse being HIV-positive (OR, 4.06; P ¼ 0.001); and being male (OR, 2.04; P ¼ 0.011). Condom use was rare, and was not associated with HIV infection (OR, 1.09; P ¼ 0.872). Among non-plasma donors, spouse being HIVpositive (OR, 11.07, P < 0.001) and having multiple sexual partners (OR, 7.04; P ¼ 0.006) were associated with HIV infection. Conclusions: The prevalence of HIV infection is high among rural residents in villages with former commercial plasma businesses. Plasma but not blood donations were associated with HIV infection. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has spread to non-donors primarily through sexual transmission. HIV/AIDS education, testing, and condoms should be promoted urgently to prevent further transmission.ChinaChina 1995 outbreak.pdf10.1097/01.aids.0000210613.45212.c4
