It has been claimed for the last few decades that Simian Virus 40 (SV40) infections cause cancer in humans. this is mainly because the genetic sequence attributed to SV40 has been found in various cancer cells in humans and lab animals. According to medical doctor Professor Anita Baxas this is because ‘lab animals developed cancer when injected with a concoction thrown into the Vero cell cultures claimed to contain SV40.’ However, SV40 is not a virus, but may well be plasmid (circular DNA) either purposely constructed or naturally from Vero cell cultures that creates a protein which blocks tumour suppressor genes, claims Professor Baxas.
The Professor also claims that ‘the same procedures for virus detection have been done for SV40 and provides no evidence that it is a ‘virus’ nor that it even exists see here The Questionable Virus Theory
In the following article Professor Baxas Questions the sv40 cancer story and explains that major carcinogens such as Graphene Oxide and EMFs are received and emitted by nano technology inside the body and along with government approved exposure to known carcinogens in the environment is what could actually be what is causing the “explosion of cancer.’
The SV40 Cancer Story Questioned.
For nearly 60 years it has been claimed that Simian Virus 40 infections cause cancer in humans. The prime suspect has been the polio vaccine1,2 widely used in the late 1950ies grown in green monkey kidney cell cultures, the Vero cells still used today as cell cultures to “prove” the existence of and to grow “viruses”.
There is ample lack of evidence that viruses exist. To not overextend this article, please read the Substack explaining this lack of evidence here: https://anitabaxasmd.substack.com/p/the-questionable-virus-theory
As the same procedures,3,4,5,6,7 for virus detection have been done for SV40 as for all the other “viruses”, this too provides no evidence that SV40 exists and is a virus. The main reason why it is accused of causing cancer is that the genetic sequence attributed to SV40 has been found in various cancer cells in humans and lab animals8,9. Another reason is that when lab animals were injected with a concoction of the stuff thrown into the Vero cell cultures claimed to contain SV40, they develop cancers. The claimed mechanism is that SV40 inhibits certain genes that are supposed to suppress tumor growth. They are tumor suppressor genes such as p53 and others10. The reason is that the virus wants the cell to replicate the virus and thus needs to stop processes that would inhibit this. This is attributed to a T-Antigen that binds to these suppressor genes and thus stops their suppressing function of cell division11..
What is a T-Antigen? It’s simply a genetic sequence among the DNA strand attributed to SV40 that codes for a protein that seems to bind to tumor suppressor genes. The T Antigen of SV40 seems to bind preferably to L-1 DNA in human cells. These are also called jumping genes that use a copy – paste mechanism to propagate themselves throughout the genome. L-1 is active in the germ line during the formation of an embryo. In cancer growth they are erroneously activated and may cause instability in the genome, a hallmark for the emergence of uncontrolled cell division aka cancer12.
