Q
In 1959, Bernice Eddy, PhD (an NIH scientist) launched an experiment without her bosses’ knowledge in which she tested the rhesus monkey kidney cells used in vaccine production (such as the polio vaccine) and injected the simian viruses into newborn hamsters. What were the results?
A
70% of the 154 animals Eddy injected developed tumors, and every animal that did so died. 9 of the 12 lots of cells she had prepared turned out to be cancer causing.
