OMG Why doesn't the world know more about this guy? He cured one the most dangerous diseases of that era almost equivalent to curing cancer today and young millennials don't know him? There should be a holiday in his honor!

I very much agree. Truly grat man, he should be more honored today.

era un uomo straordinario, gli doveva essere conferito il premio nobel, ha salvato la vita a milioni di bambini. Prese semplicemente una medaglia al valore dal presidente Eisenhower. E per permettere a tutta la popolazione di vaccinarsi,non ha mai voluto brevettare la sua scoperta
