    Before criticizing the GOP for this, let’s not forget the kind of degenerate that Salk was: not only did he not seek profit for the polio vaccine, but he also worked on AIDS vaccine research.

    So I think the GOP should be lauded for their consistency here! Surely the work of someone who wanted healthcare for all (regardless of means) and who supported efforts towards a disease which was at the time synonymous with certain “lifestyle choices” cannot be trusted.

    (Big fat /s, but I really hope that’s obvious.)

      Ah, so they are battling the evil forces of wokeness? I guess that’s acceptable then.
