Ah the good old days, when we believed in science and the things experts said.

Yet in 2023 people will still say the COVID vaccine was rushed and not properly researched even though we have decades more knowledge, technological advancement, and medical advancement.

In an alternate timeline, instead of Elvis getting the vaccine and 6 months later most of the country is vaccinated, Elvis has to hire a bodyguard because of violent threats from antivaxxers.

The Salk family used to live on the property my family lives on now. Years ago one of his family members came to visit the old barn that's still there. The farm house was torn down long ago, and more recently the "mouse house" where Salk kept a lot of his research mice was torn down as well, it used to be across the street from my mom's property. We have a panel from an old truck from the Salk's with "Shalom Research Farms" still visible on it.

I guess those kids’ parents didn’t do their own research.

Thalidomide was stopped before reaching commercial sale by Dr. Francis Kelsey. She was personally harassed for not approving the anti-nausea medicine when she asked for additional testing/rejected incomplete findings. She’s a hero who prevented thousands of deformed children from being born due to her diligence to science. Don’t slander her work because humans didn’t have the scientific knowledge of what lead did to the body.
