Simian Virus 40 (SV40): Are You Infected?

There is so much discussion about the presence of Simian Virus 40 in vaccines and what it can do to your body. Let’s take this week’s deep dive into Simian Virus 40, which for the sake of my sanity I will abbreviate as SV40 for the rest of this article.

The name SV40 comes from the fact that the virus originated in monkeys and apes or simians. The number 40 means it is the fortieth simian virus scientists had isolated from wild monkeys. We now know of more than 100 simian viruses.

SV40 is benign in the wild monkeys it was isolated from, and simply lives as a commensal, meaning it coexists in them without harming them. In humans, where it is not a commensal. SV40 is pathological, meaning it causes disease, and I believe cancer in humans. To this day, African Green Monkey cells are still used and listed as an ingredient in all vaccines!

Simian virus 40 is an example of how simple a virus can be and still perform its deadly job. Viruses are tiny machines with a single purpose: to reproduce themselves. They enter cells and hijack their synthetic machinery, forcing them to create new viruses. SV40 does this with very little molecular machinery. It is very capable of invading and infecting cells of mammals (like us), and for this and other reasons it has been used by scientists in vaccine production for many decades.

SV40 was one of the first genetic elements to be studied by genetic engineering techniques and has been used extensively as a vector for transferring genes into human cells.

A vector means that it is used as a vehicle to gain entry to a cell by a virus, pathogen, or parasite, never a good thing for the cell. So, in effect, scientists have been using SV40 for their vaccines to get inside of our cells.

Hmmm, who thinks that is a good idea, please raise your hand. Or have we been inadvertently infecting countless millions of patients worldwide with a potentially cancer-causing virus? Let’s look at the evidence and let you decide for yourself.

Where Did SV40 Come From?

Simian Virus 40 (SV40) is a polyomavirus that was originally discovered in 1960 as a contaminant in polio vaccines. Incredibly, the suffix “oma” means tumor causing, hence polyomaviruses are a family of viruses that cause tumors in humans.

The viral contamination occurred because these early vaccines were prepared in primary cultures of kidney cells derived from rhesus monkeys, which are often naturally infected with SV40. Not all of the monkeys were infected, hence some vaccines had it and some did not.

Scientists were astonished to discover that SV40 survived the vaccine inactivation treatments used in their production, giving an early indication that SV40 was not your ordinary virus, but rather was a bad ass.

SV40 is capable of infecting both monkeys and humans. SV40 is a DNA virus that usually persists as a latent infection. Since then, SV40 has become an important subject of study for virologists and molecular biologists due to its ability to infect various species and its intriguing role in cellular transformation forming various kinds of cancers (more on what transformation means coming up).

Discovery and History

SV40 was first identified by Dr. Bernice Eddy and Dr. Maurice Hilleman during quality control testing of the polio vaccine. It was found as a contaminant in the inactivated and oral polio vaccines produced between 1955 and 1963, as the vaccines were grown using monkey kidney cells that harbored the virus.

As you might have imagined the scientists panic when they discovered the presence of SV40 in vaccines, they just gave to over 30 million American school children (me included).

A scientist was brought in by the vaccine companies who had no experience in pathology from viral diseases and of course he could not find SV40, since he didn’t know what he was doing, and then the pharmaceutical companies confidently told the American public that there was nothing to worry about, no SV40 detected at all.

There are actually two subtypes of SV40, one slow replicating and one fast replicating. The pharmaceutical companies’ scientists would run cultures for two weeks, missing the slow replicating viral strain and would declare their stockpiles of culture material to be clear of it.

They used these stockpiles to make vaccines up until the late 1990’s and there is some evidence that it continues to this day! Many of the DNA fragments found in all three of the COVID-19 vaccines are suspected to be segments of SV40.

There have been many studies about SV40 and its long-term effects in humans, with varied results. However, once you look at how this virus infects our cells and what it routinely does, one cannot help but to be let’s say, a little skeptical about reassurances from the powers that be that there is nothing to look at here, keep moving.

After the COVID19 scam, Americans have every right to be wary of government reassurances, the old saying holds true: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!

KINKY FACTS/NERD FOOD: SKIP THIS IF YOU HATE SCIENCE
SV40 is a small, non-enveloped virus with a circular, double-stranded DNA genome of about 5,243 base pairs. Its genome encodes several proteins, most notably the large T-antigen and small t-antigen, which are critical for viral replication and oncogenic transformation (meaning cancer causing).
The virus has a simple structure:

• A protein capsid composed of three viral proteins: VP1, VP2, and VP3.

• A circular genome that contains early and late regions. The early region encodes proteins involved in replication and transformation, while the late region encodes structural proteins.

• A non-coding control region (NCCR) that includes the origin of replication and promoter elements for transcription.

Replication Cycle

SV40 follows a lytic replication cycle in permissive cells, involving the following steps:

• Attachment and Entry: The virus binds to glycosphingolipids on the surface of the host cell and enters through caveolin-mediated endocytosis.

• Uncoating and Nuclear Entry: Once inside the host cell, the viral genome is transported to the nucleus, where replication begins.

• Transcription and Translation: Early proteins, including the large T-antigen, are synthesized first. These proteins regulate the cell cycle to create an environment conducive to viral replication.

• Genome Replication: The large T-antigen unwinds the viral DNA at the origin of replication, allowing host DNA polymerase to replicate the genome.

• Assembly and Release: Newly formed viral particles are assembled in the nucleus and released upon lysis of the host cell.

CAN SV40 BE SPREAD BETWEEN HUMANS?
As far as can be determined, it does appear that SV40 may very well be transmissible between two humans. That gives a whole other twist on problems with SV40 contaminating vaccines and being transmitted to humans. Those vaccine infected humans may very well be transmitting it to others via exposure to their body fluids.

SV40 infects the kidneys of wild monkeys and that is where it resides in them, being excreted in their urine and spreading infection. In humans who get SV40 from vaccines. It also takes up residence in the kidneys and is once again secreted in the urine, infecting other humans. For this reason, SV40 looks like it will be with us forever, now that it has been introduced into humans by vaccination.

SV40 infection from other humans or a vaccine produces the same effects. The virus goes to the kidneys, lungs, brain, and other areas.

Once exposed to the SV40 virus via a contaminated vaccine, it’s also possible that it has spread among humans via other methods. The monkey virus was found to spread for weeks in children’s stools following vaccination with SV40-contaminated vaccines, for instance,17 which suggests SV40 may replicate in gastrointestinal cells and could be spread via a fecal-oral route.

How important is this widescale infection with SV40 and it taking up residence in mankind’s kidneys? They tell us that SV40 does not cause cancer. However, when epidemiologists study its spread in the human population, the rates of kidney cancer perfectly mirror its spread! Yet, once again, we never hear of this. It takes courageous doctors like Dr. Suzanne Humphries, who risk their careers to expose this madness. I highly recommend her fascinating book, Dissolving Illusions.

This week’s Million Dollar Question is: Does SV40 Cause Cancer?

The entire controversy about the presence of SV40 in cells cultured to produce vaccines, especially the COVID-19 vaxes from hell, is, do they cause cancer? The evidence of a mechanism for just such an effect is quite strong. Let’s take a look.

CANCER AND SV40: A LIKELY SCENARIO?

In the normal lifecycle of the virus, SV40 enters cells, manufactures new viruses, and then kills the cell as the viruses are released. SV40 can also infect other mammals in a non-permissive mode.

Non-permissive mode is biological double speak for the virus entering a cell, but the cell defends itself preventing the virus from replicating once it is inside. However, T-antigen is formed, and it can occasionally transform the cell into a cancer cell.

The T-antigen binds to P53 and Rb, two proteins that are important in the control of growth. The P53 protein is responsible for repairing DNA damage. By blocking their normal function, the infected cell is allowed to multiply without control, leading to cancerous growth.

Study of this rare event led to many of the early discoveries in the biology of cancer. More commonly, a similar mechanism allows papillomaviruses to infect cells and cause the unnatural growth of warts.

Dr. Mary Carboni, an early researcher into SV40, called it the perfect war machine, since it aggressively invaded cells and immediately shut down two of the cancer prevention genes and simultaneously enhanced two of the cancer-causing genes!

Not surprisingly, many of the cancers today suspected to be caused by SV40, such as mesotheliomas and others, almost universally contain detectable levels of SV40, whereas the healthy tissue in the same patients does not.

PONDER THIS: SINCE THE INCEPTION OF VACCINES, ALL TYPES OF CANCER RATES HAVE SKYROCKETED. A reason for this is that for the first time we were introducing animal diseases directly into the human body.

When vaccines such as smallpox were developed from cowpox and were scratched into the arms of patients to inoculate them. Later, the hypodermic needle allowed for injection directly into muscles.

These animal containing vaccines also were contaminated with mercury, arsenic, aluminum, and many other toxins that ravage our bodies. Some would argue that this is due to vaccinated patients living longer, hence more of a chance to get cancer. However, a lot of the cancers were never seen before, and many occurred when the patients were quite young!

In addition, SV40 loves the kidney, that’s where it often colonizes, such as in the wild monkeys originally used. If Sv40 causes cancer and it prefers the kidney, one would expect a rise in renal carcinoma (kidney cancer), and indeed, since the original Polio vaccinations it has skyrocketed. Just something to ponder.

Research from 1992 revealed that half the choroid plexus tumors and most of the ependymomas studied — both forms of rare brain cancers in children — contained a segment of T-antigen gene related to SV40. Denying this fact, mainstream medicine and the pharmaceutical companies have been gaslighting us for decades!

HOW VIRAL INFECTIONS OF CELLS CAN LEAD TO CANCER
Any cell that can be infected by a virus is said to be susceptible. However, infection of a susceptible cell does not necessarily result in a productive infection. Productive infections occur only in cells able to support a complete viral replication cycle. Such cells are said to be permissive.

In terms of cell cultures, the spectrum of permissive cells makes up the host range of a virus. However, the host range may also define the animal species that support a productive infection.

The host range of viruses may be wide, but it may also be very limited. For example, the host range of the parvovirus H-1 comprises humans, monkey, hamster, and rat as animal species, and most cell types (fibroblasts, keratinocytes, lymphocytes) of human, monkey, hamster, or rat origin.

On the other hand, the host range of B19, another parvovirus, is restricted to humans and human erythroid precursor cells (cells that eventually become red blood cells).

Infections of susceptible, but nonpermissive cells do not result in virus reproduction. Instead, when the virus invades nonpermissive cells, they are transformed by the virus. This transformation is caused by the viral DNA inserting itself into the host cell’s DNA, changing it forever. This transformation or mutation can change normal cells into cancer cells. Hence the fear over SV40.

Shortly after its discovery, SV40 was shown to be a potent oncogenic (cancer causing) DNA virus. In animal models, the neoplasia’s induced by SV40 included primary brain cancers, malignant mesotheliomas, bone tumors, and systemic lymphomas.

Subsequently, many in vitro studies established that the oncogenic capacity of SV40 reflects the disruption of critical cell cycle control pathways, leading to uncontrolled reproduction of the cancer cells evading the body’s own defense mechanisms.

Interestingly, cancer is often caused by more than one mechanism in the same patient. Mesothelioma has been often cited as being caused by asbestos exposure. That begs the question, is there an interaction between SV40 and asbestos that puts a double whammy on patients leading to mesothelioma? Just some wandering thoughts of a Functional Medicine doctor.

SV40 AS A BIOWEAPON?

In 1963, once the oncogenic potential of SV40 was discovered, the CIA recognized its potential uses and began a secret program to develop a cancer-causing bioweapon. This is all documented in the documentary Kill Shot.

Amazingly, none other than Lee Harvey Oswald (the supposed assassin of President John F. Kennedy, for those of you who are too young to remember), was involved somehow in this operation to develop a vaccine that would secretly introduce cancer into unwitting patients. Sound familiar, hmmm, wait it gets even better.

This research to develop a deadly vaccine, is the first case of Gain-of Function research, done to potentiate a virus, making it more transmissible or deadly (or preferably both from their point of view) and therefore useful as a bioweapon.

Fast forward to 2020, and the Covid-19 pandemic, where once again we now know that Gain-of-Function research was also funded by the United States at the Wuhan, China lab for Coronavirus research. There is widespread speculation that SV40 might very well have been used to help the COVID-19 vaccines enter the cell and eventually the cell nucleus.

There is much debate about the presence or absence of SV40 in the various Covid vaccines. At the very least, the presence of some of the proteins of SV40 are present in all the COVID-19 vaccines.

It is public knowledge that Pfizer used parts of the SV40 virus in their vaccines, specifically a region of the virus known as the “promoter enhancer sequence”. Pfizer used this sequence in their manufacturing process and then falsely claimed that they had scrubbed the vaccine after to remove any of the DNA, which is impossible to do. It appears that this sequence is wrapped up in a lipid nanoparticle, with which it is then able to enter the cell’s nucleus. THAT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.

Coincidence, perhaps, but being from New Jersey, I am naturally skeptical, and this coincidence stretches credulity, just my humble opinion, which all the facts seem to be pointing out as correct.

By the way, I am not recommending this book, I have not yet read it, I just thought it was a very cool cover and wanted to use it for this article.

KINKY FACT/NERD FOOD: Ivermectin has become widely used along with either Fenbendazole or Mebendazole as an off label very effective cancer treatment, for a wide variety of cancer patients who are in the advanced stages and basically given up on by mainstream medicine as incurable.

Ivermectin has the curious effect of blocking the entry of SV40 into the nucleus of the cells it invades. Fenbendazole and Mebendazole both work by enhancing the activity of the P53 protein which is responsible for repairing DNA and controlling cell reproduction.

They both work in other ways as well that I will explore in an upcoming Substack, SO STAY TUNED. I personally know patients who have used that combination and have had miraculous recoveries.

The part that upsets me is that their oncologists refuse to give any credit to the Ivermectin/Fenbendazole combination as having any effect whatsoever. I cannot believe that they are not all over this (in a positive way), encouraging other patients. But they rather hide behind the fact that there are no large studies demonstrating its efficacy, than to save their patients’ lives. Keep in mind, these are patients who are typically stage 4 and deemed incurable.

The Ivermectin/fenbendazole combination has arisen organically from patients since first made public by Joe Tippens, when he cured his incurable stage 4 small cell lung cancer much to the complete astonishment of his doctors.

However, in addition to taking the fenbendazole, Joe added his own ingredients to the regimen (curcumin, CBD oil, and vitamin E), thus creating the Joe Tippens Cancer Protocol. That has been about 8 years ago and the protocol has gone viral and has been used by thousands of patients quite successfully.

Joe Tippens was the start of interest in dog dewormer or fenbendazole and its human versions mebendazole and albendazole, as anti-cancer agents. Ivermectin eventually got added in due to its many anti-cancer effects and that has morphed into today’s combination of it with fenbendazole.

On Substack, a Canadian oncologist, Dr. Makis, has done a wonderful job of daily postings of amazing cures using Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Check it out at: Makismd@substack.com.

However, once again I digress. Let’s get back to the possible horror of SV40.

Applications in Molecular Biology

SV40 has been a valuable tool in the field of molecular biology. Its large T-antigen (which the T scarily enough stands for tumor causing), has been widely used in research to study DNA replication, transcription, and cell cycle regulation.

Additionally, SV40-based vectors have been employed in gene delivery and the production of recombinant proteins in mammalian cells. It also appears that they have been used in recent vaccine production, despite pharmaceutical industry assurances to the contrary, including the COVID-19 vaccines.

HERE IS WHAT THE MEDICAL UNDERGROUND THINKS ABOUT SV40

WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN, AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR HUMANS INFECTED WITH SV40 (WHICH APPEARS TO BE MOST OF US)?
Recent advances in studying SV40 have provided new insights into its possible pathogenicity (disease causing capacity) and to the virus’s behavior in humans. The findings are not reassuring. There appears to be a connection between SV40 and many cancers, especially mesotheliomas. Who knows what other pathology is being caused by SV40, that is yet to be discovered?

Perhaps AI will come to the rescue, by utilizing its amazing ability to sift thru mountains of data and find patterns and associations humans could not spot. Time will tell.

I have to admit, I have high hopes that AI can do just that and will hopefully revolutionize medicine. Yes, I aware of the dangers of AI as well, but it is here to stay and we might very well reap some wonderful benefits from using it for data analysis.

However, it also appears to have spread independent of vaccines thru direct human to human transmission and is now found among most patient populations from young to elderly throughout the world!

SV40 has been found in most blood samples, donated blood, tissue samples of healthy tissues not just cancers, not to mention a large number of cancer tissues sampled. The conclusion of research scientists is that it is now very widespread in the human population and is circulating actively, continuously infecting new hosts.

The Medical Underground has always been very interested in viral behavior and their long-term interactions with human populations worldwide. The good news is that viruses all follow the exact same pattern over time when interacting with humans, they become less deadly but more contagious.

Viruses many times integrate themselves into our DNA, becoming part of us and helping shape human evolution and destiny, perhaps SV40 will do that. Time will tell. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN 8 AND 10 PERCENT OF OUR GENES ARE OF VIRAL ORIGIN! IS THAT NOT MIND BLOWING TO THINK THAT SO MUCH OF OUR GENETICS IS NON-HUMAN?

Another possible scenario is SV40 mutates or combines with an existing human virus and becomes a new virus, a human version of SV40 with its own set of characteristics and pathologies. The existence of an SV40-like human polyomavirus, which is still unknown, cannot be ruled out.

Recently, a new lymphotropic polyomavirus (HPyV9) was identified in humans. It turns out that it has many of the genes of SV40 and might very well be closely related.

The Medical Underground feels that since we are not testing for SV40, and most of us have been vaccinated at some point in our lives with contaminated vaccines, and since human-to-human transmission appears to be widespread, then we have to assume that we are all infected already.

As a Functional Medicine doctor that leaves me having to respond to SV40 as I do all infections, that is by optimizing your immune system using the following general guidelines:

1. Optimize your nightly sleep, augmenting that with relatively high dose melatonin, which acts to boost immunity among its many other wonderful effects.

2. Optimize antioxidant, mineral and trace element intake to provide all the tools your immune system needs to work its magic.

3. Adequate hydration, Fiji water is an excellent choice due to its high mineral content, but any clean water source will do. Do not get hung up on how much you are drinking, but rather use your tongue as a barometer, drink until your tongue is wet, and glistening.

4. Sun exposure is key, getting adequate sun exposure without wearing sunblock will optimize the ultraviolet irradiation of your blood, and very importantly boost your vitamin D production.

5. There are a host of other interventions you can do that are beyond the scope of this article, I would refer you to my most recent book: Infected: Secrets From The Medical Underground.
   
   It outlines in detail how to treat every infection from head to toe without the use of prescription medications. This is known as a “shameless endorsement”!
