’This well-researched, well-documented book unfurls a compelling scientific saga...written with the zing of a medical thriller.’-The atlanta Journal-Constitution A gripping medical detective story, this book raises major ques-tions about vaccine safety and regulation and shows how power, politics, and prejudice influence the health policy decisions that affect our lives.

Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine has taken on an almost legendary quality as a medical miracle, for it largely eradicated one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century.
