Polio

At one laboratory in Berkley, California, two hundred children caught polio from the vaccine. This occurred in 1955, right as the vaccine was being deplored nationwide. They immediately withdrew all polio vaccines to investigate and ensure their safety. The vaccines were put through several safety tests to ensure efficiency and quality. Programs were even put into place, along with regulations…

tumor. When the results came back, she found that there was a malignant epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix stage 1 (Ursano 101). This scientist was now found to be involved in the wonderful HeLa cell. Junas Salk developed the polio vaccine with the help of the HeLa cells. Polio was a disease that was spreading fast! So all of the best scientists were on top of the HeLa investigation. Medical researchers seemed to cause an uproar on all materials that would lead them to a conclusion. Biomedical…

gone down by 79 percent (“Understanding Vaccines”). It is important to reserve all recommended vaccines so that the level of disease stays down. There are many vaccines that are recommended, each of which help to fight against different disease. Polio was the first widely spread available vaccine, which led to the production of many others fighting against various diseases such as, measles, chickenpox, HPV, tetanus, and influenza. The advancement in vaccines is something that will never slow…

believe polio is disappearing from our world. Scientists and doctors have created a new vaccine to beat polio. They are now giving boPV. These new vaccines only cure type one and type three of polio. Type two is no longer being given, because it is almost completely gone. The endgame, which is the name scientists have given for the end of polio, scientists are working on a way to stop type one and three. This is what this vaccine is going to do. Scientists are saying that type two polio is gone…

Jaclyn your discussion was informative. I agree with you that Polio spared no one. Polio affected all races and men, women and children.

The epidemic also claimed the lives of six thousand people. The epidemic continued to worsen and occurring more often as it traveled throughout Europe and increasing the spread to the United States during…

If I could go back in time, I would go back to 1944. Just thirty minutes away from my home in Taylorsville, NC, seventy-two years ago, Hickory, NC marked the largest polio outbreak in the United States. This tragic uprising brought the town of Hickory closer than it has ever been. Hickory responded by turning a local camp into an extensive emergency hospital almost overnight. The first patients were admitted within 54 hours, the triumph that became known as “The Miracle of Hickory.” Patients…

Poliomyelitis, also known as Polio, is an infectious disease caused by the polio virus. This disease can spread from person to person and can invade an infected person’s brain and spinal cord, causing paralysis. Symptoms are seen rarely for this illness, but if seen it’s usually flu like symptoms. There are three types of polio, sub-clinical, paralytic, and nonparalytic. Young children, pregnant women, and people with low immunity are more susceptible to this disease. This disease spreads from…

actually a big part in the medical world because he was the one person to come up with the vaccine to prevent polio disease. Jonas had made many studies…

the nerve and was brave enough to test his new vaccine on his family. He was certain that it was ready for use, “It is nearly certain that Salk’s success can be largely credited to his unwavering belief that his vaccine would work” (Pallansch 4). Polio has affected the public worldwide, but because of Salk’s confident remark and development, the vaccine has become issued to millions of patients, where most too all survived the fatal virus, making him an icon that will forever be memorialized for…
