CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "TESTIMONY OF DR. MAURICE HILLEMAN"
[Dr. Leonard George Horowitz] Listen now to the voice of the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, Chief of the Merck Pharmaceutical Company's Vaccine Division, relay this problem he was having with imported monkeys. He best explains the origin of AIDS, but what you are about to hear was cut from any public disclosures.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] And I think that vaccines have to be considered the bargain basement technology for the twentieth century.
[Narrator, The Health Century, Blackwell/WGBH/PBS] Fifty years ago when Maurice Hilleman was a high school student, in Miles City, Montana, he hoped he might qualify as a management trainee for the local JC Penney store. Instead, he went on to pioneer more breakthroughs in vaccine research and development than anyone in the history of American medicine. Among the discoveries he made at Merck, are vaccines for mumps, rubella, and measles.
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] Tell me how you found SV40 in the polio vaccine.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] Well, that was a Merck thing. I came to Merck and I was going to develop vaccines. And we had wild viruses in those days. Remember the wild monkey kidney viruses and so forth? And I finally, after six months, gave up. I said that you cannot develop vaccines with these damn monkeys. We're finished. And if I can't do something, I wasn't going to try it. So I went down to see Bill Mann at the zoo in Washington, D.C. And I told Bill Mann, I said, "Look, I've got a problem. I don't know what the hell to do." Bill Mann is a real bright guy. I said, "These lousy monkeys are picking it up while being stored in the airports in transit at these loading and offloading ... He said. "It's very simple." He said, "You go ahead, get your monkeys out of West Africa, and get the African Green, bring them into Madrid, unload them there, there are no other traffic through there for animals, fly them into Philadelphia, pick 'em up. Or fly them into New York and pick 'em up -- right off the airplane." So I brought African Greens in. I didn't know we were importing AIDS virus at the time.

[Man, WGBH Production Staff] Oh, it was you who introduced AIDS virus in the country.
[Woman, WGBH Production Staff] Now we know!
[Man, WGBH Production Staff] Oh, it was you who introduced AIDS virus in the country.
[Woman, WGBH Production Staff] Now we know!
[Man, WGBH Production Staff] Oh, it was you who introduced AIDS virus in the country.
[Woman, WGBH Production Staff] Now we know!
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] This is the real story.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] This is the real story.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] This is the real story.
[Man, WGBH Production Staff] What Merck won't do to develop a vaccine.
[Man, WGBH Production Staff] What Merck won't do to develop a vaccine.
[Man, WGBH Production Staff] What Merck won't do to develop a vaccine.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] So what he did --
[Woman, WGBH Production Staff] Yeah, right!
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] -- he brought in, I mean we brought in those monkeys, and then we had those. And this was the solution, because those monkeys didn't have the wild viruses. But we had all of these --
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] Why didn't the Greens have the wild viruses, since they came from Africa?
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] Because they weren't, they weren't being infected in these group holding things with all the other 40 different viruses.
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] But they had the ones they brought from the jungle, though?
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] Yeah, they had those, but there were relatively few. What you do is you have a gang housing, you're going to have an epidemic transmission of an infection in a confined space.
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] Oh, is that the problem?
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] So anyway, the Greens came in and we not only had these, and then we're taking our seed stocks to clean them up, and God! Now I'm discovering new viruses! So I said, "Judas Priest!"
Well, I got an invitation from the Sister Kenny Foundation, which was the opposing foundation, and it was the live virus.
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] Oh, right.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] Yeah, they jumped on Sabin's bandwagon. They asked me to come down and give a talk at the Sister Kenny Foundation meeting, and I said -- it was an international meeting -- "God, what am I going to talk about? I know what I'm going to do! I'm going to talk about detection of nondetectable viruses as a topic."
[Dr. Albert Sabin, Polio Vaccine Pioneer] There were those who didn't want a live virus vaccine. They concentrated, National Foundation For Infantile Paralysis, concentrated all its efforts on getting more and more people to use the kill virus vaccine -- while they were supporting me for research on the live virus vaccine.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] So now I've got to have something, you know, that's going to attract attention.
[Woman, WGBH Production Staff] [Laughing]
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] So I thought, "Gee, that damn SV40, I mean, that damn vaculating agent that we have. I'm going to just pick that particular one. That virus has got to be in vaccines. And it's got to be in Sabin's vaccines, so I quickly tested it.
[WGBH Production Staff] [Laughing]
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] Sure enough, it was in there.
[Dr. Edward Shorter, Medical Historian] I'll be damned.
[Dr. Maurice Hilleman] And so now, I go ahead --

Attorney Walter Kyle of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, began representing Plaintiffs with vaccine injuries ten years before the Vaccine Injury Act began, and has argued more than forty cases before the Special Masters of the United States Court of Federal Claims [under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act] – 42 U.S.C.A. §300aa, et.seq. As a result, Attorney Kyle has unique insight into the nuances of vaccine injury law.
Q. To start our interview, may I ask how you became involved in vaccine law?
A. I began representation of vaccine-injured clients in Arkansas in 1977. My first case out of law school was representing a paraplegic mother who acquired paralytic polio from mutated Sabin live trivalent oral polio vaccine [TOPV] viruses shed from her three-month-old infant’s diapers. Centers for Disease control classified the woman in the “immune deficient” category of “vaccine associated contact cases” from Type 2 Sabin vaccine.
Q. Walter, you just mentioned the phrase “vaccine viruses shed.” For those who are not familiar with such terminology I’d like to say it means certain types of vaccines contain certain viruses that are alive and once injected into [orally administered to] an individual can infect others via contact with bodily fluids, excrement, and sometimes coughing or sneezing. In your first vaccine case, the mother contracted paralytic polio from viruses “shed” in her infant’s diapers soiled with urine and feces.
Walter, how did you present that case at court?
A. In the first case against the manufacturer, American Cyanamid, which defended based on the fact that the woman was categorized as “immune deficient” and implied the reaction was her fault, I countered with the position that the Type 2 vaccine caused her immune deficiency since she had never been sick in her life before contact with that vaccine. After settling that lawsuit against the manufacturer for failure to warn, I instituted a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) lawsuit against HEW for regulatory violations in the license and release of OPV, in general, and the individual Lot of polio vaccine, in particular. In addition, I challenged the FDA’s intention to use Sabin’s live oral polio vaccine (OPV) for immunization of unwitting contacts of vaccine recipients as an unconstitutional invasion of their privacy (see Loge v. United States, 662 F.2d 1268 8th Cir. 1981), which evolved into civil actions of “battery” against the sole manufacturer of the Sabin vaccine –American Cyanamid.
Q. Can you tell us what happened in that case?
A. From my perspective I gained a profound disrespect for the FDA and pro-vaccine defense experts who pretended the case could have been from wild polio in spite of the fact that most, if not all of the polio in the United States at that time, arose from parents coming into contact with the polio viruses shed in their child’s stool or saliva.
Their justification then, similar to their justification now, arose from an unwritten CDC/FDA policy to “sacrifice some for the good of the whole” – a comment related to me by a senior CDC physician, Dr. Michael Gregg, in a private conversation.
This explains why zero funding is available to do clinical studies of vaccine reactions in the United States.
Both of the lawsuits settled before trial. The trial judge dismissed the FTCA lawsuit and was overturned on appeal in the decision cited above.
Q. Before you go further, can you please explain what a Vaccine Injury Table is?
A. According to HHS Health Resources and Services Administration, “The Vaccine Injury Table (Table) makes it easier for some people to get compensation.” [1]
It makes it easier for some and impossible for others. Certain reactions within a set time period are automatically compensated. For example, the parent of a child who became paralyzed by polio within 60 days of the child’s receiving the live polio vaccine would automatically be compensated. This was the most common reaction to both live and inactivated polio vaccines.
However, a child acquiring an encephalitis where the Colburn strain of CMV (cytomegalovirus) was isolated from his brain at the age of six, would not be compensated unless his lawyer were clever enough to discover that the Colburn strain of CMV is actually simian in origin and came from the African green monkeys used to produce the live polio vaccine.
Recently Baboon endogenous retrovirus (BERV) was discovered in MMR vaccine, but no one has access to the tests to detect it in children with possible vaccine reactions. Since it is a live vaccine, one would expect the onset to occur within 3 days to three years, nor would anyone know how to correlate it to the particular Lot of vaccine given as FDA keeps such information secret.a “commercial privilege” protection under FOIA.
Q. Walter, what I find interesting about the Vaccine Injury Table is something most proponents of vaccines/vaccinations probably are not aware and it is “The Table lists and explains injuries/conditions that are presumed to be caused by vaccines.” [1] So, in effect, HHS/CDC/FDA agree vaccines can cause damage. I suggest every parent becomes familiar with the Vaccine Injury Table in the link at reference [1].
A. The Table is per se inadequate and a mother or father should follow their gut instinct when faced with a vaccine reaction most of which are probably not on the Vaccine Injury Table. Currently there are laboratory-testing methods developed, but withheld from diagnostic use by FDA that can quickly and cheaply link reactions to vaccines. I do not feel anyone should subject their child to an immunization unless faced with an actual, not a CDC forecast, epidemic of a life-threatening pathogen. That is, until those testing procedures are made available to the general public for diagnostic evaluations of both the injured and of the vaccines which are administered.
I am not anti-vaccine but strongly oppose FDA/CDC/NIH B.S. (rhetoric and hyperbole) when it comes to evaluation of vaccine reactions. For example: Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) gave unchallenged testimony before the Senate Committee establishing the Vaccine Injury Table that there had been no paralytic reactions to the Salk vaccine in 450,000,000 doses resulting in a Table that provided no compensation for IPV-caused polio. The FDA stood by and said absolutely nothing, but had good reason to know Salk’s testimony was not true. Really!
Salk had provided expert assistance and consultation to me for 12 years while the ongoing feud between Sabin and Salk brewed over which vaccine should be used in the United States.
When the Chief Special Master appointed me to head an Attorneys Committee to investigate the possibility that Salk’s vaccine had caused hundreds of cases of polio that had never been linked to the vaccine by FDA, I truly believed that Salk’s vaccine had never caused polio except in one isolated manufacturing problem in 1955.
After the Committee investigated and discovered that not only had Salk’s IPV caused polio, it had probably started epidemics, and the famous “Frances Field Trials,” which the FDA’s predecessor touted as proving IPV’s absolute safety, were “rigged” and probably caused as much polio as they prevented.
Q. Walter, that’s something that isn’t well known and apparently pushed under the carpet, as they say.
A. Under the carpet would have been nice, HHS pushed the attorneys on my committee out the door. The Justice Department attorney began attacking members of the Committee on trivial issues, objected to our being paid promptly in all matters including other cases and ultimately all of us stopped practicing in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
By 1988, I concluded, based on evidence discovered from the OPV manufacturer’s files and FOIA litigation against the FDA, that FDA allowed release of live Sabin oral polio vaccines that also contained live simian retroviruses and/or viable genetic sequences of such retroviruses within the polio vaccine itself – a fact admitted by the Director of the Bureau of Biologics on April 15, 1980 in the Federal Register.
In 1992 a world renowned medical journal, The Lancet, published my paper, “Simian retroviruses, polio vaccine and origin of AIDS” 339:600-601 (Mar. 7 1992), which linked the 1981 AIDS outbreak in the United States to the nationwide use of OPV for treatment of genital herpes in homosexual men by dermatologists. Following multiple oral doses of OPV, the viruses passed in their stools along with the then unknown simian retroviruses and herpes viruses (i.e., SIV and KSHV – Kaposi’s Sarcoma Herpes Virus – and CMV – Cytomegalovirus). Curiously, this panorama of simian herpes viruses also infected the first AIDS victims.
That article identified specific lots of contaminated OPV and suggested independent testing, which FDA refused to retest, but “pretended” that it had through false press releases in 1996. The FDA faced huge liability here so they spent millions sending someone to find AIDS-like virus in chimpanzees which is more genetically similar to HIV than any of the other simian viruses, problem was, the chimps would eat the same African green monkeys, the source of all SIVs, which were used in the oral polio vaccine.
Curiously, Sabin’s Type II oral polio vaccine, most frequently (of the three Types in a single dose of Sabin OPV) associated with the immune deficient category of paralytic polio was administered to and ultimately isolated from the stool of a chimpanzee.
I believe an honest evaluation of the science would place AIDS under the vaccine injury table, and what a massive expense that would be.
