I found it interesting when I learned that people were volunteering their children head over foot to trial the vaccine. That really hit home how scary this must have been, especially since it was people's kids, not themselves, being inoculated. Sure, Salk had trialed it on his own children before going public, but still, how much fear would need to loom over us for millions of people to volunteer their own children for a vaccine trial? I never thought I'd see another situation where the public would be so willing to volunteer for medical experiments, but we're pretty close now. > honestly makes the coronavirus look like child’s play. What's interesting is that the polio virus was "child's play", literally. Part of why I think so much fear loomed over it was how devastating it could be to children and how often children would come down with it. Right now child cases of covid19 are pretty low, and it's affecting mainly adults.
