In particular, he said the Brazilian Government had falsified data in the early 1970's to give the World Health Organization, a United Nations agency, a falsely optimistic picture of polio eradication In 1947 Salk accepted a position at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine to establish a Virus Research Laboratory.

The only occurrences of paralytic poliomyelitis in the West after this time were the few cases caused by the live-virus vaccine itself. Horaud, F (December 1993). of brain tissue.

He was 86 years old and lived in Washington. In 1936 he and a colleague were able to grow poliovirus in brain tissue from a human embryo. Sabin and his associates took the oral live viruses before conducting experiments on select groups of people form 1955 to 1957. In some areas of the country half of these “Polio Pioneers” received the vaccine, while half received a placebo.

Albert Bruce Sabin (né Saperstein à Białystok, Pologne, le 26 août 1906 et mort à Washington le 3 mars 1993) est un médecin et chercheur américain dont la découverte la plus remarquable fut le vaccin antipoliomyélitique oral dans les années 1960, quelques années après la mise au point par Jonas Salk d'un vaccin inactivé. "Albert B. Sabin and the development of oral poliovaccine". Sabin's vaccine was licensed in 1960 and replaced Jonas Salk's inactivated poliovirus vaccine.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is perhaps the most famous victim of the poliovirus. Jonas E. Salk and Albert B. Sabin were the pioneers and researchers who discovered the vaccine and serum to combat polio, a crippling and killing disease that affected millions of people throughout the world annually. After his return to the United States, he worked (1974–82) as a research professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. In 1930, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States and changed his name to Sabin, as well as assuming the middle name Bruce. In the intestines, Sabin had discovered, the poliovirus multiplied and attacked. He estimated that in 1980 there was 10 times as much polio in Brazil as was being reported and that efficient vaccination efforts were being blocked by bureaucratic interference. "Albert Bruce Sabin". In 1935 he returned to New York to join the research staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, now Rockefeller University. and 1959 in the Soviet Union, where it proved widely successful. In the meantime a live-virus vaccine for polio was being developed by Albert Sabin. had discovered a virus that caused several types of human cancer, he later concluded that the virus in question was not a factor in human malignant disease. Dr. Albert B. Sabin, the pioneering researcher on viruses and viral diseases who developed the vaccine that is the main defense against polio in the United States and much of the rest of the world, died Albert Bruce Sabin (born Albert Saperstein; August 26, 1906 – March 3, 1993) was a Polish American medical researcher, best known for developing the oral polio vaccine which has played a key role in nearly eradicating the disease. In the early years of his research on the polio virus, Dr. Sabin was credited with the first demonstration that it could grow in human nerve tissue outside the human body. By Albert B.
