This is Jonas Salk (1914 - 1995) who decided not to patent his 1955 #polio #vaccine so that it would be affordable for millions of people who couldn't afford it. He lost out on an estimated $7billion. In an interview with Edward R. Murrow, Salk said: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

Jonas Salk refused to patent the polio vaccine, as he didn't want credit for this horrific massacre.
This is a very dangerous lunatic.

It was only after Jonas Salk developed the first safe & effective polio vaccine that the need for iron lungs declined. When asked who owned the vaccine patent, Salk famously answered, “Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” 7/7

Now that the first phase of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's wonderful "250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all the videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity & brevity.

Dr. Jonas Salk created the polio vaccine that saved the lives of millions of people, in a time when polio was killing and debilitating America.
Salk refused to seek a patent or profit from his life-saving discovery because he wanted it to save as many people as possible.
