Their discovery about the

small amounts of the Rubella

The Vancouver teacher
suffered aching and swollen
joints in her hands and
fingers about a month after
her vaccination at the age of
25. The cause of her ailment
puzzied her physician, who
like many others in the mid-
1970s was unaware of the
link between the ailment and
the virus.

Wilson said. “Some mor-

at 6:00 so my hands would be
limber enough to grip the
steering wheel by 8:00 to get
to work.

“It was almost like being
an invalid. I was always tired

Mrs. Wilson had arthritis
severely for about a year but
it then subsided, showing up
later in a few minor reoc-
curences.

Tingle said the incidence
of the rheumatoid arthritis
suggested “the virus is
carried in the body longer
than we originally suspected
and flared up at different
times, much the same way a
cold sore will.”

“This implies that multiple
other viruses that cause
more crippling diseases like
multiple sclerosis or
diabetes, follow the same
path - remaining dormant for
years but later recurring.

“Lf we can find out why the
rubella virus causes chronic
infection, we could be led to
the cause of these diseases
and develop new vaccines
less prone to create the side-
effects,” he said.
