Interesting article that links a monkey virus to human cancers.
No, people aren't fooling around with monkies in the jungles. The infection came from vaccines that were were prepared in the kidney cells of infected rhesus monkeys.
And the bummer is, that just about the time I was getting vaccinated for polio, I'm guessing, is when these infected monkey vaccines were getting used.
Very scary!
