April 12, 2005 will mark the 50th anniversary of the polio vaccine! http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5413a5.htm Now there are 0 people paralyed by polio instead of the 13,000 to 20,000 people each year before the vaccine.

I'm just old enough to dimly remember the level of hysteria over the polio epidemic of the 1950s. Glad to hear about the commemoration at the Smithsonian.

I was in the initial test and recall that we used to call puddles in the streets "polio water". I recall spending one summer in the house since there were two cases within a block of my home. > Steve |
