Not saying he wasn't a good person, but he was using charity funding, and couldn't have privatized the vaccine if he wanted to.

I read somewhere that he did this to give everyone autism.

It was paid for by the March of dimes? That was kind of the point.

Jonas Salk?
CommanderCaribou
Huh I thought that was Penicillin
vietarmis
So you don't have to Salk anymore when your kids get polio.
DrSkyhammer
Hail to Pitt!!
tombraider123123
It's the Polio vaccine, that's Salk
HEXADECIMAL
PLz don't forget the pharmaceutical industry was screaming that he did this even back then.
superanth
I always upvote Salk.

GET A MEME MADE OF HIS GENEROSITY -- DOESN'T INCLUDE NAME (Salk, BTW)

Can you people PLEASE stop posting this? He didn't make money because he couldn't, FFS.
AfricanBreastMilks
Ever heard of a patent? They asked him if he was going to patent it - which he replied, "can you patent the sun"?

The letters betweem Jonas Salk and Albert Einstein about god are pretty wierd. Both reject faith but had complex non-personal 'gods'.
clockss
Too bad idiots think it causes autism because internet articles told them so
NekoMiko06
Th- that's not even the alleged vaccine! MMR was Hilleman's, not Salk's. That's like abstaining from all cereals because you think (1/2)
Gluten is bad for you despite not having Celiac's or NCGI, only you're fucking over everyone around you, too.
You wouldnt happen to have an unbiased scientific study that proves this, do you? :)
NixonDidNothingWrong
So, like, was his work enabled by investors that he fucked over or what?
Perhaps they felt a healthier work force and less draw on resources would benefiet the economy? Fucking communists, right?
Point is the scientist doesn't get to choose to give the work away for free. He is beholden to funding which in this case was kindly donated
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
Funded by nonprofit through fundraising and public donations.
Well! Alright then.
MrLunas
What is it, gay? Did he cure gay? I'd give that out free too.
To men, that is.
balmut
Just because someone cures gay doesn't mean you are free to infect people with it. That is considered a "dick move".
ThoughtfulSatan
I thought you had to pray that away?
TheLostGamer
Too bad it wasn't a cure for stupidity
I could use that!
HowDoIPutThisLightly
Obviously he didn't cure gay because OP is still a certifiable faggot
TCGreen
A different time. Now all that matters is how your company performs on its next earnings report.
IsaacZehPanda
He tries to sell the vaccine, but it was illegal because a lot of the funding was from taxes and public donations
angrytaco
Well come back to that time. The corruption and greed are generational, and it's dieing out.
I'm not so optimistic
hispanicyankee
No, it's getting stronger as people forget that there was ever a time it was different. As a Millennial, I have no example but the present
Well that and history, but too many in my generation don't seem to want to try to be better and correct the mistakes of previous generations

mischiefmanaged731
The assiest asshole in the universe.
Believe it or not he's actually a really good guy, gives his drug for free to those who can't afford it. The drug caused problems to bone
Marrow. The media lied and said the drug is already the best it can be, but even the CDC came put and said it has so many flaws

Wasn't that supposedly the MMR?

9/11 planes were carrying chemtrail vaccine, steel beams got autism and towers collapsed. #alternativefact

Mom who hovers over their children trying to control every aspect of their lives

Parents who hover and do everything for their kids. I have a 3 year old in my daycare who can't put on socks because of this bs.

Who is Sabin?
Albert Sabin he developed of oral polio vax
