What does this mean?

"SV40 was the 40th virus found in rhesus monkey kidney cells when these cells were used to make the polio vaccine. This virus contaminated both the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) created by Dr. Jonas Salk and the Oral or “Live” Polio Vaccine (OPV) created by Dr. Albert Sabin.

The virus was contaminated so when the Children were vaccinated was it possible that some got polio from the vaccine itself? This would be frightening. If this was the case, the person I know of was born around that time and probably did receive that vaccine.

I am referring to the Rhesus monkey CELL MEDIUM the polio virus was grown in. The medium itself was infected with SV-40 which ended up in the vaccines along with the attenuated polio virus. This is a separate issue from the polio virus itself.

"I began speaking and writing about monkey virus contamination of polio vaccines ten years ago when questions were raised in the medical literature about whether the use of monkeys infected with monkey viruses to produce oral polio vaccines was responsible for HIV and the AIDS epidemic. [ii] Between 1994 and 1997 I submitted several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the government regarding testing of certain lots of oral polio vaccine for monkey virus contamination. During the course of my research I discovered that it was well known that the first polio vaccine produced in the 1950’s – the inactivated polio vaccine created by Jonas Salk – was made using rhesus monkeys that were infected with a monkey virus called simian virus 40 or SV40.

It was in 1960 that an NIH scientist named Bernice Eddy discovered that rhesus monkey kidney cells used to make the Salk polio vaccine and experimental oral polio vaccines could cause cancer when injected into lab animals. Later that year the cancer-causing virus in the rhesus monkey kidney cells was identified as SV40 or simian virus 40, the 40th monkey virus to be discovered. [iii]

Sadly, the American people were not told the truth about this in 1960. The SV40 contaminated stocks of Salk polio vaccine were never withdrawn from the market but continued to be given to American children until early 1963 with full knowledge of federal health agencies. 

Between 1955 and early 1963, nearly 100 million American children had been given polio vaccine contaminated with the monkey virus, SV40. [iv]

Today, U.S. federal health agencies admit the following two facts:

  1. Salk polio vaccine released for public use between 1955 and 1963 was contaminated with SV40; and

  2. SV40 has been proven to cause cancer in animals.

In fact, at a conference on SV-40 and human cancers held by the National Institutes of Health in 1997, which I attended, there was no disagreement among both government and non-government scientists about these two facts. The only disagreement was whether SV40 was actually being identified in the cancerous tumors of children and adults alive today and, if it was, whether the monkey virus was in fact responsible for their cancer. Non-government scientists working in independent labs around the world said, “Yes.” But the scientists connected with the U.S. government said “No.” [v]" https://www.nvic.org/nvic-archives/testimony/testimonyspetember102003.aspx

Wow. I am convinced that this person received the vaccine, but they do not have cancer. Thy had a case of polio when I was still a Child. Luckily they recovered. One of the Lucky Ones.
