Who Knew What, When.
Between 1961 and 1978, Lederle, a leading vaccine manufacturer, controlled between 70 to 80 percent of the oral polio vaccine market. Its product was known as "Orimune". From 1978 until 2000 (the year the United States prohibited the sale of the oral polio vaccine), that company had 100% of the American market for oral polio vaccine. It has claimed that it distributed over 650 million doses in the United States alone since its licensure.
At the conference of the United States of America, Department of Health & Human Services, held on Monday, January 2, 1997 entitled CBER-NCI-NICHD-NIP-NVPO SIMIAN VIRUS 40 (SV40): A POSSIBLE HUMAN POLYOMAVIRUS WORKSHOP, representatives of Lederle assured the assembly that all oral polio vaccine in the United States manufactured by that company was SV40 free and that it had prepared the vaccine in green monkey kidney cells that do not harbor the SV40 virus.
