The genomes of all animal species are colonized by endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Although most ERVs have accumulated defects that render them incapable of replication, fully infectious ERVs have been identified in various mammals. In this study, we isolated a feline infectious ERV (RD-114) in a proportion of live attenuated vaccines for pets. Isolation of RD-114 was made in two independent laboratories using different detection strategies and using vaccines for both cats and dogs commercially available in Japan or the United Kingdom. This study shows that the methods currently employed to screen veterinary vaccines for retroviruses are inadequate and should be re-evaluated.
(C)ontamination of human vaccines with XMRV, would not pass undetected with the currently available technology although this may not be necessarily true for vaccines produced in previous decades.
Finally! I posted about this twice and nobody commented. Some very interesting findings.
I found this because of one of your earlier posts but to be honest, I didn't really feel like visiting the original site where it was referenced. Thanks for posting it.
To me, the take home from this is what George alluded to on another thread, there are only two known (now three) known infectious retroviruses. That's so little go on that I'm not going to be too surprised by what we learn in the next several years. As Judy Mikovits said in her ProHealth presentation;
"Retroviruses are not common, nor are they benign. The big news was that here was evidence of another INFECTIOUS retrovirus."
It isn't clear to me whether the authors really meant contamination with XMRV or with the mouse ERV they mentioned in a previous sentence."Interestingly, the current methods used for screening human vaccines for retroviral contaminants include extremely sensitive PCR-based RT assays (not required for veterinary vaccines) that are much more sensitive than conventional RT assays. Thus, contamination of human vaccines with XMRV, would not pass undetected with the currently available technology although this may not be necessarily true for vaccines produced in previous decades."
=flybro;42520]TThe animals i had vaccinated all did poorly, the ones i didnt' get vaccinated were much healthier and lived longer.
I konw its sujective, but other cat and dog owners have similar stories.
I wonder if XMRV cud be hidden in human vaccines?
I should mention that many vaccines use avian, not mammalian, substrates; MMR and influenza vaccines for example usually use chicken embryo cell lines or tissue.
I could cautiously say that the 3 studies just about rule out the idea that autism is caused by MMR alone, which may have appeared to be Wakefield's original thesis
Mark, that is actually a myth. There was no thesis as to what "causes" what.
But if this were the case, you'd also expect to see HIV viral load go up in response to vaccines
By the way there is no such thing as a typical autism. Not one child or adult is 'typical'. Put ten diagnosed individuals in the same room and you will be hard pressed to even divide them into any kind of groups... The only real "classification" or division is as regards the level of functioning, as in those that speak and those that don't, and how well... those that are toilet trained or not... Apart from that even the most common accepted wisdom on autism, such as 'lack of empathy' is actually a myth. There are very severely affected sufferers out there who are also very empathic, love human contact etc, and some very functional ones who aren't... There are really no rules here, and to say that autism is an umbrella diagnosis is an understatement.
