Document Summary
Kids wore steel leg braces to support themselves because they couldn"t support their own weight because they had no muscle to hold themselves up. Fear never leads to rational, well thought out solutions. Life cycle: finding victim: orally: food and water, settling in: invades intestine->then blood->then nervous system/tissue, the attack: 99. 5% who are exposed do not get sick or have flu like symptoms. No cure then, no cure now: rna virus. Better sanitation so didn"t have the built up immunity from childhood like the poor. Franklin roosevelt fdr: struck down in one day. O"connor knew that fdr would put more effort into his polio efforts rather than his presidency. O"connor ran the warm springs in ga and later the vaccine campaign. Asked citizens to send in their pennies and dimes instead of big donations to fund the efforts. Step 2: identify and grow the virus. Enders, weller, and robbins won the nobel prize.
