Salk Wins the Polio Vaccine Race

Photo taken from Polio An American Story by David Oshinsky The race for a vaccine had three major contenders Albert Sabin an acclaimed polio researcher at the University of Cincinnati Jonas Salk an inexperienced scientist at the University of Pittsburgh and Hilary Koprowski an independent scientist at Lederle Laboratories All three men were determined and aggressively racing for the first successful cure They were handsomely financed and unstoppable Followers had deep concerns for safety and questioned the need for human testing Koprowski and Sabin supported their live virus vaccine that was designed to activate a natural infection powerful enough to create long lived antibodies against polio yet too weak to initiate a serious case of the disease Salk stood alone with his version that stimulated the immune system to generate needed antibodies without activating a natural infection Salk s version seemed to be easier to market and had fewer health risks for its participants The Salk Vaccine Field Trials of 1954 began testing nearly two million elementary school children throughout the country A public health experiment had never reached this enormous level and received tough media scrutiny Salk became an immediate hero when the trials showed successful results His trials continue to impact testing for future drugs and vaccines There is still a debate over which vaccine was truly better Sabin once remarked You could go into the kitchen and do what he did referring to Salk s vaccination The better vaccine is debatable however the triumph over polio is still a victory in medical science Oshinsky David Polio An American Story New York Oxford University Press Inc 2005 <a href= http en wikipedia org wiki Jonas Salk >en wikipedia org wiki Jonas Salk< a>
