“…This was the formalininactivated vaccine developed by Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh during 1951 to 1954, a trivalent preparation of strains grown in monkey kidney cultures. After appropriate testing in cultures and laboratory animals, followed by a number of small trials demon strating its safety and its effectiveness in in ducing antibody responses in susceptible human beings, this inactivated vaccine was tested in the United States in the summer of 1954 [Francis et al, 1957], This carefully de signed and controlled investigation was ac complished with the aid of much popular sup port and volunteer assistance. Several hundred thousand schoolchildren were enlisted, along with every enterovirus laboratory in the USA and a large number of physicians and public health officers.…”

“…As a result, researchers on infectious diseases shifted their priority from studying the modes of transmission and natural history to evaluating treatments and vaccines. For example, trials assessed the efficacy of streptomycin for tuberculosis (1), patulin for the common cold (12), and the Salk vaccine to prevent polio (37).…”

“…Bei Impfungen, zum Beispiel, treten offensichtliche Nebenwirkungen in Form von Impfzwischenfällen unmittelbar auf, während der zu erwartende Nutzen erst in den Folgejahren augenscheinlich wird. Der Francis Field Trial ist die bis dato größte durchgeführte Interventionsstudie in der Medizin [6]. In den 1950er Jahren wurde die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit des Salk Impfserums zur Prä-vention von Poliomyelitis an mehr als 1,8 Millionen Kindern in den USA getestet.…”

“…In den 1950er Jahren wurde die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit des Salk Impfserums zur Prä-vention von Poliomyelitis an mehr als 1,8 Millionen Kindern in den USA getestet. Obwohl der von Jonas Salk entwickelte Totimpfstoff als relativ sicher galt, kam es aufgrund der großen Anzahl der geimpften Kinder zu Beginn der Studie zu mehr als 3000 schweren Impfzwischenfällen [6]. Dieser offensichtliche und unmittelbar auftretende Schaden wurde von den Medien aufgegriffen und publik gemacht.…”
