My intent was to show that the gold standard wasn't as benign as advertised, and they knew, they KNEW it could cause cancer in 1960, and didn't utter a peep, while continuing to churn out and administer contaminated vaccines for three more years.
That's a pretty weak endorsement.

Well my intent was to show that I agreed that the gold standard had problems and was not as it was advertised. And to throw in additional reasons - I'm not understanding your intro here and the tone of your response. shrug
More additional reasons: Between 1923 and 1953 (before the Salk vaccine's introduction), the polio death rate in the U.S. had declined on its own by 47 percent; England had observed a similar pattern, with a 55 percent decline. Likely related to improved nutrition and sanitation.
Following the use of Salk's vaccine between 1955 and 1963, however, cases of polio in the U.S. increased—by 50 percent from 1957 to 1958 and by 80 percent between 1958 and 1959. And this was in spite of the fact that the Gov. redefined what was a Polio case to help it seem the Vax was effective.
And the SV40 started the very next year, and IIRC, there is evidence that the Government knew it well before 1960. And of course the Government also denied it, and didn't admit it for 50 years.
Additionally, when they moved to OPV, form of the Polio Vax, there were additional problems. Dr. Salk testified before a Senate subcommittee in 1977 that the oral polio vaccine had caused most of the polio cases in the U.S. since the early 1960s. We have since returned to the IPV - an updated version of the Salk.
For sure there is much more that could be thrown in here to show that their Gold Standard has a distinct tarnish. However, there are so many brainwashed people that is a hard row to hoe.
And I am so old that I was in that first rollout group-one of the reasons that I am very picky about vaccinations. Our school was lucky - we didn't get any of the Cutter product. We did have some interesting conversations prior to the next year's mass vax as a result of the Cutter incident.
So I think that multiple facts and comparisons including that they really are comparing apples and oranges to tell the real story are a good thing. YMMV
Agreed.
We got ours the instant the Marines could get them to us. I don’t know if we were in the first rollout group, but we were pretty close! I don’t think my folks asked any questions. Marines and dependents are like that.
I also avoid vaccines...
Whenever a child gets a polio vaccine the parents are told not to be around people with a compromised immune system, or pregnant or nursing mothers.
I got my polio vaccine on a sugar cube in the mid 60’s before starting school.
