Is this the same individual credited with providing cells for the Polio vaccine? You know, the one that Jonah Salk perfected? All these years it’s been a lie that Salk came up with the vaccine. He had to have the help of a woman’s cells.
Who knew?

She died of cancer.

They’re celebrating that.

It’s a weird idolatry of the New Religion.

I remember first reading about that when they thought it was Helen Lane. It was a very scary story to think that those living cells carry on so long after the woman herself is gone.
