...cultures of monkeys' kidney cells. The kidneys of the monkey species used in vaccine manufacture are loaded with native viruses. The worst of these is Herpesvirus simiae, or "B virus," close kin to man's benign cold-sore virus. It apparently gives the monkey nothing worse than fever blisters; in man it is almost invariably fatal. In Salk vaccine these B virus particles were killed by formaldehyde, but in making an oral vaccine of live, attenuated viruses, no inactivating process is used...

Doctors found that she had, in severe form, a two-pronged heart defect: because of hardening and scarring (perhaps from rheumatic fever), the aortic valve does not open wide enough to let out a full supply of blood, and at the same time it does not close tight enough to keep blood from sloshing back into the heart and adding to its work load...
