The Biologics Control Act was established on July 1, 1902, [1] “also known as the Virus-Toxin Law [virus then has a different meaning to today], was the first law that implemented federal regulations of biological products such as vaccines in the United States. It was enacted in response to 2 incidents involving the deaths of 22 children who had contracted tetanus from contaminated vaccines. [1, 4]
Many “vaccine” and “anti-toxin” deaths occured as the Medical Machine experimented with their “medical science” products.
“When the large scale production of vaccines and anti-toxin serum began in the late 19th century [1800s], the United States had no government regulations on biological products”
“The Laboratory of Hygiene of the Marine Hospital Service, established on Staten Island, NY, in 1887, was in charge of testing biologics before the Biologics Control Act. It was moved to Washington, D.C., in 1891, and renamed the Hygienic Laboratory of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service in 1902.” [2] With the creation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from the Hygienic Laboratory, regulatory authority remained at NIH until 1972, when it was transferred to FDA.” [3]
There have been many changes from the Laboratory of Hygeine to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) which now asssess and regulate all medical products derived from living sources. [5, 6]
