This is Jonas Salk (1914 - 1995) who decided not to patent his 1955 #polio #vaccine so that it would be affordable for millions of people who couldn't afford it. He lost out on an estimated $7billion. In an interview with Edward R. Murrow, Salk said: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

1 in 200 #polio infections leads to irreversible paralysis. In the 1960s children suffering from irreversible paralysis caused by polio were required to use 'iron lungs' to help them breathe. We don't see these 'iron lungs' anymore today because #VaccinesWork

The brave little boy having one of the first polio vaccines is me. At school I recall two pupils who had leg calipers because of #polio caught before they could be vaccinated and there even was an iron lung for emergency use. #Vaccination saves lives

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

#Polio vaccinators are heroes! So we decided to hop on the generative AI trend and show you what a polio vaccinator starter kit looks like. Did you know❓ Polio eradication efforts have directly averted 20 million cases of paralysis. Yes, #VaccinesWork! #EndPolio
