isnt that because the oral vaccine had a live polio virus in it?
Thats a negative ghost rider, the patent is not owned to this day, it hit the open market and was unpatenable (if thats a word) after that.
He chose not to patent it BEFORE it hit the market.
Amen to that.
Jonas Salk testified before a Senate subcommittee saying that nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961 were caused by the oral polio vaccine.Also the vaccination actually created a new form of polio called Vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis.
You can not patent something that is already in the market place, so once they started distributing it with out a patent, no one could own it.
One of the best people in history of humanity.
A inspiration to all, a sign that greed does not corrupt all.
The pharmaceutical company patented it and the investor, a politician, made an F’ing killing on this vaccine.
Bad business move for the inventor.
It’s amazing and truly inspiring that he didn’t patent the vaccine. It was shared with humanity.
LOL!!! You’re right!
Before the Jonas Brothers, someone was actually doing something meaningful with that godforsaken name!
