Back in the 1940’s FDR and others watched over the Polio Foundation (March of Dimes) until the Polio vaccine was successfully produced. Shortly thereafter ,the official name was changed to the March of Dimes, they then changed direction and abandoned their original commitment to Polio and Polio Survivors. The March of Dimes went into the new business of ‘birth defects’.
The March of Dimes it seems left little funding for Polio. It seems little if
anything was given to review what was happening regarding the polio vaccine or to Polio
Survivors.
Therefore, the Government did what ever it wanted. There was no real review of the problem of the defective Sabin ‘live’ oral vaccine or follow-up of the condition of Polio Survivors.
Today, Polio Survivors have all kinds of problems and it is also our
belief that similar problems in the not to distant future will be coming to those who
have received the Sabin ‘live’ vaccine or been subject to its secondary effect.
