JONAS SALK
The medical pioneer signs a 5x3 card.
Signature: "Jonas Salk", 5x3 card. In 1952, over 58,000 cases
of polio were reported in the United States. These claimed over 3,000 lives, and
left over 20,000 persons, mostly children, with mild to disabling paralysis.
Among Americans of that era, only the atomic bomb was more feared than
polio. In 1953, after 6 years of intense research, Dr. Jonas Salk
(1914-1995) of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine developed
the first polio vaccine, which was proven effective in field tests and
introduced to the public in 1955. The publicity-shy Salk declined New York's
offer of a ticker tape parade, but was the recipient of countless honors and
tributes from around the world. He gave away the patent rights,
considering it sufficient compensation that millions of children were saved from
injury and death. In 1963 he founded the Salk Institute for Biological Studies,
La Jolla, California, and was working his vaunted 16-hour days in search of an
AIDS vaccine when he died at age 80. Salk was the author of several books. Faint
pencil erasure in upper left corner, lightly creased in lower right. Otherwise,
fine condition.
