Polio, Panic, and the The Virus in the Vaccine

America was in a panic. Families huddled inside their houses, mothers too afraid to even take their kids to the park. In many areas of the country, swimming pools and movie theaters completely shut down to keep everyone safe from the epidemic that was sweeping across the land. Governments made millions of dollars available for scientists to find a cure. And then it came. The vaccine everyone was waiting for arrived to great fanfare, and the doctor that created it became a national hero. But is there more to the story? And has it really been the miracle that our cultural gatekeepers make it out to be? Here's a story for everyone seeking some historical perspective on our current crisis.
