RE: Lots of grease to spread around.

Interesting tidbit from medical history:

In 1947, [Jonas] Salk was appointed director of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. With funding from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis—now known as the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation—he began to develop the techniques that would lead to a vaccine to wipe out the most frightening scourge of the time: paralytic poliomyelitis.

….” All developed anti-polio antibodies and experienced no negative reactions to the vaccine.

….” Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any money from his discovery, preferring it be distributed as widely as possible.” -
