But in its monkey tests it has been 100% successful: after four shots of the vaccine (into the muscles), monkeys proved immune to thousands of times the lethal dose of polio. Their immunity even stood up when the polio virus was injected directly into their brains. The vaccine is the first thus far, the Johns Hopkins researchers hopefully observed, that has produced "solid immunity...
