Right.
Walter SterlingHOST
7:10
One of them was Dr. Salk, and the other one was Dr. Sabin.
Walter SterlingHOST
7:14
And we had both.
Walter SterlingHOST
7:16
We had both because.
A.W. FinneganGUEST
14:15
And After that, he actually goes in, so the Soviet Union captured Eric Traub's lab in Germany, and MP Chumakov actually went and met with Eric Traub to gain information on this immune tolerance.
A.W. FinneganGUEST
14:30
And then, about 1954, MP Chumakov teams up with Albert B. Sabin of the American Public Health System to make the oral polio vaccine.
A.W. FinneganGUEST
14:43
okay which which is contaminated by the sv40 of course just like salk's was and i guess salk also had um worked with this guy to some degree but he was also investigated by the fd fbi and found to have many many associations with like communist front groups and stuff jonah salk and of course he wrote that disturbing book survival of the wisest well mp chumakov He makes the oral polio vaccine with Sabin and they have all these problems and then Sabin gets his son Konstantin Shumakov, a job over in our public health system, the son of a hardcore Stalinist bioweaponier.
A.W. FinneganGUEST
15:28
This guy gets into our public health system, works his way up through the FDA, and then he was running vaccine safety and review at the FDA.

Adam FinneganGUEST
41:16
And what I basically discovered by the end of my book, like, I came to the conclusion that our public health system has been taken over that it's been infiltrated and taken over to such an extent that it's now being used as a weapon against us.
Adam FinneganGUEST
41:39
And one of the things, so I don't know if you know about, I don't know if you know who Albert Sabin is.
Adam FinneganGUEST
41:47
Albert Sabin, he was this public health guy.
Adam FinneganGUEST
41:50
He actually created the oral polio vaccine.
Adam FinneganGUEST
41:54
uh he teamed up with this soviet bioweapon here named mp chumakov um and i talk about him a lot in my book and this guy mp chumakov was also testing out bioweapons on the muslims and mongolians in siberia um in the 1930s and so he also met with eric traub um I think it was 1947.
Adam FinneganGUEST
42:23
He also went down to Insel Reams and met with Eric Traub.
Adam FinneganGUEST
42:27
And he was trying to get information on this immune tolerance thing.
Adam FinneganGUEST
42:32
And then in the 1950s, he's teaming up with Albert Sabin.
Lisa WexlerHOST
1:18
So when I grew up, doctor...
Lisa WexlerHOST
1:21
It was universally recognized, for example, that the polio vaccine invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and then refined into the oral vaccine by Dr. Albert Sabin were two of the greatest inventions and inventors and discoverers ever in human history.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
1:41
Well, that's correct.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
1:42
They took care of a disease, at least in the U.S. and many other countries that used to paralyze tens of thousands of kids every summer, leave many of them permanently disabled.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
2:47
I'm post-World War II and I got both vaccines, one in the 50s and one in the 60s.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
2:54
But the problem is The Salk vaccine didn't eliminate polio in the U.S.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
3:00
So in 1961, we switched to the Sabin vaccine, as did much of the world, because it's easy to drink.
Lisa WexlerHOST
3:07
I remember the taste.
Lisa WexlerHOST
2:25
You know, there really are a lot of lies nowadays, and there, there really are so many people who are distrustful of the norms of science and vaccinations that I at least grew up with.
Lisa WexlerHOST
2:40
So when I grew up, Doctor, it was universally recognized, for example, that the polio vaccine invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and then refined into the oral vaccine by Dr. Albert Sabin, were two of the greatest inventions and inventors and discoverers ever in human history.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
3:03
Well, that's correct.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
3:04
They took care of a disease, at least in the US and many other countries, that used to paralyze tens of thousands of kids every summer, leave many of them permanently disabled, and this vaccine completely eliminated that.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
4:09
I'm post-World War II, and I got both vaccines, one in the '50s and, and one in the '60s.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
4:16
Uh, but the problem is the, the Salk vaccine didn't eliminate polio in the US.
Vincent RacanielloGUEST
4:22
So in 1961, we switched to the Sabin vaccine, as did much of the world, because it's easy to drink.
Lisa WexlerHOST
4:29
I remember the taste.
Aruni AretiHOST
3:54
Was there a moment for you? Was there something early on that just meant, I want to do vaccines? Or was it something that, yeah, was it high school? Is there a point where you're like, this is
Peter HotezGUEST
4:06
it? I remember reading in junior high school and high school books like Microbe Hunters and then reading about the giants of the day, Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin and And thinking, gee, I want to be one of those guys there.
Peter HotezGUEST
4:21
And after my MD and PhD, I did a residency in pediatrics because I thought that was the closest to vaccines and was admitting a kid every couple of weeks with a horrific disease called Hib meningitis, lymphous influenza type B meningitis.
Peter HotezGUEST
4:37
And then when the vaccine improved, within four or five years, that disease had disappeared.
Gary NabelGUEST
21:06
Um, so for example, if you tried to take an inva- inactivated, even a whole cell or, or even a live attenuated vaccine for HIV, and believe me, it was tried, and it failed miserably, um, you realize that the virus had evolved to outsmart the immune system.
Gary NabelGUEST
21:26
And so rather than using the old, uh, tr- uh, you know, time-tested approach of taking the virus and modifying it or somehow inactivating it, you know, like Jonas Salk did for or Albert Sabin did for poliovirus, we had to say, "Y-you can't do that here.
Gary NabelGUEST
21:48
What you, what you have to do is you have to pursue what we called rational vaccine design." And, and that is you need to understand the basic biology of the virus, the mechanism by which it infects a cell, the counter responses of the immune system, and then you had to use that to pinpoint the vulnerabilities of the virus and be very surgical about how you would now prevent the virus from gaining a foothold within a cell.
Gary NabelGUEST
22:22
And, um, among the scientific advances, one of the big ones were the advances in structural biology.

All of these names have one big thing in common.
John CampbellHOST
12:33
I had an extra dose because I was potentially exposed to it through work activities.
John CampbellHOST
12:39
So someone recently vaccinated overseas had been given the live virus developed by Albert Sabin in 1961, the famous Sabin vaccine.
John CampbellHOST
12:52
Not been used in the UK since 84, not used in the United States since 1987.
John CampbellHOST
12:57
So the United States is well ahead of the UK in that case.
