- also called Culture Medium, or
Nutrient Broth, solution freed of all
microorganisms by sterilization (usually in an autoclave,
where it undergoes heating under pressure for a specific
time) and
containing the substances required for the
growth of microorganisms
such as bacteria, protozoans,
algae, and fungi. The medium may be solidified by the
addition of agar.
Growth medium - a source of nutrients in which a
microorganism is placed to permit its growth, cause it to
produce substances, or observe its activity under defined
conditions; also called culture medium or growth medium .
The medium is usually a
solution of nutrients in water, or a similar solution solidified with
gelatin or agar.
Growth medium (pl. growth media) - a synthetic medium
which is
filled with nutrients necessary to the
growth of microorganisms or cells being cultured in the
lab.
..We will also examine how these things are provided to a
bacterium in the laboratory by examining the formulation
and synthesis of culture medium...

Q: Now, you worked in labs. Where purity was an issue.
A: The public believes that these labs, these manufacturing facilities are the cleanest places in the world. That is not true. Contamination occurs all the time. You get all sorts of debris introduced into vaccines.
Q: For example, the SV40 monkey virus slips into the polio vaccine.
A: Well yes, that happened. But that’s not
what I mean. The SV40 got into the polio vaccine because
the vaccine was made by using monkey kidneys.
But I’m talking
about something else. The actual lab conditions. The
mistakes. The careless errors.
SV40, which was
later found in cancer tumors - that was what I would call
a structural problem. It was an accepted part of the
manufacturing process.
If you use monkey
kidneys, you open the door to germs which you don’t know
are in those kidneys.
Q: Okay, but let’s ignore that distinction between different types of contaminants for a moment. What contaminants did you find in your many years of work with vaccines?
A: All right. I’ll give you some of what I came across, and I’ll also give
you what colleagues of mine found. Here’s a partial list.
Q: Let me get this straight. These are all contaminants which don’t belong in the vaccines.
A: That’s right. And if you try to
calculate what damage these contaminants can cause, well,
we don’t really know, because no testing has been done, or
very little testing.
It’s a game of roulette.
You take your chances.
Also, most people don’t know that some polio vaccines,
adenovirus vaccines, rubella and hep A and measles
vaccines have been
made with aborted human fetal tissue
. I have
found what I believed were
bacterial
fragments and poliovirus in these vaccines from time to
time - which may have come from that fetal tissue
.
When you look for contaminants in vaccines, you can come
up with material that IS puzzling. You know it shouldn’t
be there, but you don’t know exactly what you’ve got.
I have found what I believed was a very small “fragment”
of human hair and also human mucus. I have found what can
only be called “foreign protein,” which could mean almost
anything. It could mean protein from viruses.
Q: Alarm bells are ringing all over the place.
A: How do you think I felt? Remember, this material is going into the bloodstream without passing through some of the ordinary immune defenses.
Q: How were your findings received?
A: Basically, it was, don’t worry, this can’t be helped. In making vaccines, you use various animals’ tissue, and that’s where this kind of contamination enters in. Of course, I’m not even mentioning the standard chemicals like formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum which are purposely put into vaccines.
Q: This information is pretty staggering.
A: Yes. And I’m just mentioning some of the biological contaminants. Who knows how many others there are? Others we don’t find because we don’t think to look for them. If tissue from, say, a bird is used to make a vaccine, how many possible germs can be in that tissue? We have no idea. We have no idea what they might be, or what effects they could have on humans.
