The polio experience differed from today's COVID-19 in one important respect: by the 1950s, polio — a disabling and potentially deadly disease
Then, as now, there was no effective treatment for polio, so a vaccine seemed the only way out. But even so, Oshinsky says the government played very little role in coming up with a vaccine for polio. In the spring of 1954, a massive study of the Salk vaccine kicked off. At the time, confidence in the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was high, as was fear of the polio virus, and millions of children took part in the trial.
It turned out that the vaccine made by Cutter Laboratories was responsible. The company's manufacturing process did not fully kill the virus they used to make their vaccine. As a result, hundreds of children who got the Cutter vaccine got polio, and some died.
AND THAT POLIO VACCINE TO DECADES YET WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A YEAR FOR THIS BIO WEAPON TO VACCINATE IT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THAT … THE COVID19 VACCINE IS GOING TO HAVE A 50% ACCURACY RATE , PERFECT TO RUIN TRUMPS LEGACY, THATS WHY LIBERALS & FAKE NEWS ARE PUSHING IT
The GOP knows what’s going on at the top. They are just peddling fake news to their viewers to scam their money. FoxNews foxandfriends corporate sent out a memo to be careful of the virus while they were peddling the virus is a hoax narrative
back then, mcconnell benefitted from the government’s immediate and successful handling of polio. today, he obstructs any effective government intervention.
My mother’s little sister died of polio. We must get a handle on this virus.
Dr. Salk was a eugenics Nazi.
So, the most effective way to get the nation to take this seriously is for most of the members of the GOP in the Senate, House, and WH to get it. Then, when it affects them directly, they will take it seriously?
In the 50s, the sting of 600K dead from the Spanish Influenza was still in modern memory. Polio cases (and its defeat) is already 65 years back.
My Mom grew up through the polio years and had family and friends who were stricken by the disease... she is perplexed by people's unwillingness to take relatively painless measures to prevent getting or spreading COVID. Greatest generation, meet the most idiotic generation.
Covid is a common cold compared to polio
I was a part of Dr. Salk’s children’s test group in Pittsburgh. Injection. Then the next phase I participated in was the pink sugar cubes. My parents wanted us protected!
