If you've noticed that none of your friends and family have polio, you can thank Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine back in 1952. The deadly disease went from paralyzing hundreds of thousands of children annually to being practically eliminated in the United States, thanks to his ingenuity. Salk also made an intriguing choice — he didn't patent his groundbreaking discovery He could have made billions but decided against it because it would make the medication too expensive for everyone to afford So his gift to the world is like mine - Just knowing I've made the world a better place is all the reward I need. p.s. If the truth be known Jonas did actually try to get a patent but was denied - so in a way - I'm even better than Jonas |
