Kindof a testament to why we have vaccines, isn't it?

A testament to the 2nd round of polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salks team, the first round didn’t go so well

Clif notes:

In the end, at least 220 000 people were infected with live polio virus in Cutter's vaccine (including 100 000 contacts of immunised children), 70 000 developed muscle weakness, 164 were severely paralysed, and 10 died.

So, I read 21000 were paralytic cases in 1952. I'm betting it would have been worse than the testing.

The 220000 were healthy before the vaccine gave them polio…. Some got over it, some did not. Salk warned this would happen before cutters vaccine was rolled out, his vaccine used different tech. They “Might” have gotten polio if not for the vaccine, but were given polio by cutters vaccine

Case in point, everyone who requests trials for vaccines before a mass rollout is not an anti vaxxer. The black and white red vs blue arguments for the covid vaccine were bs

The hard part is never knowing if it would truly be worse. I 100% agree that it's a hard subject. This is all vaccines, not just polio and covid.

I mean - she did get her toenails torn out without any anesthesia while screaming in pain, then has all the pain and damage not only from the injection of the IPA but incorrect treatment of it (due to not knowing)
I always wonder how dafuq people come to quantify the dollar value of that kind of thing. And the list of things claimed for damages is.... weird

I'd wager she gets half, then her lawyers get half of that.
Not sure I'd take on that ordeal for $3 mil.

Ever seen the movie Worth?
