...point in polio infection, the U.S. Public Health Service called its committee on poliomyelitis control into session there to plan for the spring and summer campaign when the disease attacks again. Hostilities promptly broke out within the council of war itself, mainly over the relative merits of the Salk injected and the Sabin oral vaccines. The chief antagonists were the National Foundation's crusty perennial chairman, Basil O'Connor, and the University of Cincinnati's inventive, acidulous Dr. Albert B. Sabin...
...insists, has little place in the practical results of research. "As a rule, the scientist takes off from the manifold observations of his predecessors . . . The one who places the last stone and steps across to the terra firma of accomplished discovery gets all the credit." Thus Dr. Jonas Salk got most of the credit for developing polio vaccine. But it was Enders' patient work that first demonstrated how to grow the dangerous polio virus in other than nerve tissue. That work got Enders and his associates a Nobel Prize; it got Salk his vaccine. Now active at Boston's Children...
...week and a half from today, Judge Allen will return to New York University to receive the Gallatin Award (former recipients include Jonas Salk and Ralph Bunche) for her contributions to law. In the past, 23 colleges and universities have awarded her honorary law degrees. As for the future, Judge Allen will continue to be available for irregular service as a Senior Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals...
...supplement at first, but not necessarily to replace, Dr. Jonas E. Salk's killed vaccine, the PHS Committee on Live Poliovirus Vaccine selected the live but attenuated strains developed by the University of Cincinnati's Dr. Albert Bruce Sabin. Whereas the Salk vaccine's virus particles are inactivated so that they cannot multiply, much less cause disease, the Sabin vaccine's viruses are expected to multiply. In this way, they cause a harmless infection. They do this in the digestive tract and render this part of the body an unsuitable seeding ground for future invasions...
Capsule or Teaspoon. The Sabin vaccine, which, like the Salk, is grown in monkey kidney cells, has been tested on a small scale in the U.S. but used wholesale in the U.S.S.R., where almost 80 million people have now taken it in various forms and on different dosage schedules. Full protection against all three types of polio requires three virus strains, one of each type. Dr. Sabin has tried giving them separately at short intervals, as well as in a three-in-one dose. Best results to date have been with the spaced, single-type doses, and it is expected...
