Zenger Trial and Polio Vaccine Debates Across Eras
The article juxtaposes the Zenger trial as a star of liberty and a 1960s inquiry into polio vaccines. It recounts Zenger's 1734 acquittal for seditious libel and Andrew Hamilton’s defense, then shifts to corporate and scientific debates over live-virus versus killed-virus polio vaccines, including Eli Lilly and Lederle Laboratories positions, Surgeon General concerns, and Jonas Salk’s advocacy for killed-virus vaccines amid Sabin’s live-virus approach. It notes a renewed public focus on vaccine liability and historic shifts in medical consensus.

A state law mandate is urged, though owners should weigh car retention and installation practicality. Tests on 18 cars from Datsun to Cadillac showed mileage gains, with spark plug gaps also affecting efficiency.
