Jonas Salk, American Virologist
Salk standing at the podium during his 1988 CDC visit fielding questions during his presentation. Jonas Edward Salk (1914-1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist. In 1948, he undertook a project funded by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to determine the number of different types of polio virus. Salk saw an opportunity to extend this project towards developing a vaccine against polio. The field trial set up to test the Salk vaccine involved 20, 000 physicians and public health officers, 64, 000 school personnel, and 220, 000 volunteers. Over 1, 800, 000 school children took part in the trial. When news of the vaccine's success was made public on April 12, 1955, Salk was hailed as a miracle worker. His sole focus had been to develop a safe and effective vaccine as rapidly as possible, with no interest in personal profit.
