Verdict on Salk Vaccine
To Be Revealed Tomorrow
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
Aseodeted Free* Science Reporter
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 11
ifP). —The big secret of the Salk
polio vaccine is to be revealed
at 10:20 ajn., (EST) tomorrow.
The secret, of course, is how j
effective the vaccine was in pre- I
venting paralytic polio in chil
dren tested last year.
One man. the University of
Michigan’s Dr. Thomas Francis
jr., knows the answer after com
piling all results of the test. He
will not divulge it until tomor
row morning at a meeting of
400 scientists and doctors.
Hasn’t Told Dr. Salk
He hasn’t told Dr. Jonas E.
Salk, Pittsburgh scientist who
developed the vaccine, nor Basil
O’Connor, head of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paral
ysis.
What will happen after the
announcement?
The question is put by a well
known medical scientist who:
asked not to be identified. He
has no connection with polio,
but speaks from knowledge of
the history of insulin, anti
biotics and GG (gamma globu
lin! for polio.
Suppose the vaccine is a suc
cess.
“It could become a test of our
moral fiber,” he said. “Will it
start a stampede, like a theater
lire, to get vaccine at any cost?
Will there be bootlegging, ven
ality?
“Or will parents demand in
telligent self-control of them
selves and others to insist the
vaccine be used where it will do
the most good to reduce polio—
among young children and preg
nant women?”
"Suppose,” he continued, “the
vaccine is found ineffective, or
less than perfect?
Can It Control Polio
“How much dismay or loss of
confidence may result? A vac
cine can be a success without
being sure fire. Can it give con
trol like vaccines against yellow 1
fever or smallpox, which are not |
100 per cent? Fire-proof build

i but It does drastically reduce the
| amount of destruction.
“No medical treatment ever
sprang forth fully protected. It
took years for example to simp
: llfy and increase the effective
, ness of insulin for diabetes.
“Another polnto remember is
that the vaccine tested was one
existing a year ago. Since then
improvements have been made.
It might have had faults which
since have been corrected. Fur
ther research can improve this
vaccine or produce even better
ones.”
Some answers to his questions
will come tomorrow.
Meanwhile guesses about Dr.
Francis’ report range from zero
to 100 per cent effectiveness.
Generally there is an air of op
timism, but Dr. Fanrcis just isn’t
talking.
