contaminated vaccines, 50 plus years ago...?

When I was a child, a vaccine I was given caused a bad infection and, in my early 40s I contracted MS. Could my MS been caused by a contaminated vaccine?

    The only known major case of contaminated vaccines was SV40 in some polio vaccines prior to 1962.

    SV40 is oncogenic (cancer causing) in some rodents, but there is no evidence it does in humans. No evidence it causes MS either.

    I am NOT a doctor, but from the way you formed the question, you seem to already know the answer...

    and Yes, i think so, possibly.
