The Centers for Disease Control has a long, detailed document refuting
claims that Simian Virus from polio vaccines is linked to greater rates of
cancer.  Please visit:

http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vacsafe/concerns/Cancer/default.htm

for more information.

I send thisin response to Jean's post:

>British researchers have found that that type of tumor, while still
>linked to asbestos, is also yielding traces of Simian virus, as are other
>tumors, such as childhood brain tumors.

>They have traced this to the fact that to protect themselves from the
>polio epidemic in the 50's and 60's, so many humans received injections
>of the Polio vaccine that was developed using Rhesus monkeys.
