Abstract

And they lay too in the great field trial that was to begin just weeks after the TIME cover appeared, during which more than 2 million American schoolchildren would be queuing up to receive either Salk's vaccine or a placebo. When TIME visited Salk, the scientist was battling pushback from an anti-vaccine community similar to the one that has persisted into the 21st century. Jonas Salk was home with his wife, but she could tell his mind was elsewhere--back in his lab, where work was proceeding apace on what would become the first vaccine against polio.
