LOL.... unsurprisingly, you've been fooled by the internet ghouls that seek out weak minded individuals. The Actual History and Facts of the 1954 Experiment In 1954, John F. Enders and Thomas C. Peebles successfully isolated the measles virus (specifically the Edmonston strain) using tissue culture techniques. The claim that "other experiments will yield the same results" without the virus, or that they "couldn't find enough virus," distorts two specific aspects of their research: The "Same Results" (Cytopathic Effects) Misconception: In his paper, Enders noted that uninoculated (control) monkey kidney cells sometimes showed cellular breakdown (cytopathic effects like syncytia or cell vacuolation) that looked similar to the damage caused by the measles virus. The Truth: Enders did not conclude that the virus didn't exist or that the experiment was flawed. Rather, he discovered that some laboratory monkeys were already naturally infected with a simian virus (like SV40). To resolve this, they weeded out the contaminated animal tissues and successfully isolated the pure human measles virus in human kidney and amnion cells. The "Can't Find Enough Virus" Misconception: Before 1954, scientists struggled to study the virus because it could not be grown easily in laboratory environments outside a living host. The Truth: Enders' groundbreaking achievement was solving this exact problem. By utilizing his tissue culture technique (which won him the 1954 Nobel Prize for his work on polio), his team was able to multiply, harvest, and maintain vast amounts of the measles virus in a lab environment for the first time. https://lifesciencehistory.com/john-enders-and-thomas-peebles-isolated-the-measles-virus-in-cell-culture/ https://scienceheroes.com/enders-polio https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1954/enders/facts/ https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.47.3.275
