VIRUSES EVOLVE AND MUTATE
As a veterinarian I am concerned over the widespread dissemination of MLV and GE virus strains through the mass vaccinations of humans, livestock and poultry, and in-house companion animals. Some GE vaccines have been widely used is several countries in bait to stop rabies in foxes, jackals, and other wild carnivores. These vaccines all contain live viruses, supposedly weakened strains recombined, like the pox virus used as an infective carrier, sliced with an attenuated strand of rabies virus DNA. It’s like the Cauliflower mosaic virus that is used as a carrier of engineered genes in GE crops expressing herbicide tolerance and insecticidal proteins (Bt in corn). But there is one big difference. The aim of vaccination is to trigger an antibody immune response to the antigens in the vaccine. A poor response could lead to actual disease from the vaccine or vaccine failure, just as an over-reaction could mean death to the recipient..............If there is a dormant/latent viral infection already present in the recipient, vaccination against another pathogen could impair the immune system leading to the latent viral infection taking hold. |
Yes, the MLV's (modified live virus vaccines) can actually cause the disease they're meant to protect against in an immuno-suppressed animal. That is not true, however, for the killed vaccines such as rabies.
