Medical Panel Favors Present Polio Program In Washington
An eight to two vote backed continuing the Salk polio vaccine program for children at a House Commerce subcommittee meeting. One letter from Dr William McB. Hamilton argued halting the program, making the tally eight to three with his inclusion. Dr Sabin urged suspension and a safer virus strain, while Dr Rivers warned against stopping now. Jonas Salk declined to vote stating he felt like an investigator.
