the polio vaccine
Jonas Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine in the 1950s. This vaccine was a significant breakthrough in the field of medicine and helped to eradicate the polio virus, leading to a sharp decline in the number of polio cases worldwide. Salk's work is credited with saving countless lives and revolutionizing the approach to preventing infectious diseases.
Dr. Jones Salk developed the vaccine for Polio.
Because he really wanted to make a difference and he felt bad for the people that had Polio. (I did a report on him once.)
By giving you a watered down version of the disease, white blood cells in your immune system learn which antibody to produce and how to fight polio. If you get the disease for real, they can make it much quicker, and therefore get rid of it before you even show symptoms.
Salk & SabinThe Salk vaccine was the first and is a traditional killed virus vaccine administered by injection.The Sabin vaccine is an attenuated live virus vaccine usually administered as a drop of liquid placed on a sugar cube and taken by mouth.
The first ever polio vaccine was developed by Dr Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1950s. It was a killed vaccine that was tested in clinical trials in 1954 and ultimately gained government approval by 1955 for use on the common public. There is also another polio vaccine that was developed by Dr Albert Sabin. This vaccine was a live version of the polio virus and is taken orally. It was approved for use in the general public in 1963. == == == == == == == ==
An example of a scientist being ethical is Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine. Instead of patenting the vaccine to profit from it, he chose to make it widely available for free, prioritizing public health over personal gain. This decision significantly contributed to the eradication of polio in many parts of the world, showcasing the importance of ethical responsibility in scientific research.
There are only treatments for pancreatic cancer at this time. There is no "cure" for cancer. Modern medicine and all its glory has not come up with a cure for any disease since polio. Drug companies will make sure it stays that way.
A few spring to mind (others at the link):Banting and Best did much of their early work on diabetes using dogs.The Salk (polio) vaccine was developed using monkeysPasteur used dogs in his studies on rabiesModern cloning techniques are based on animal tests
no.
It makes you feel cold and shivery.
