    Atul Gawande Retweeted STAT

    The beautiful story of how polio eradication originated. We are down to 22 cases worldwide and it began thanks to Sabin, Rotary Clubs, and a breakfast discussion about Cuba.https://twitter.com/statnews/status/969769346473086978 …

    Atul Gawande added,

    Opinion: Sabin became a household name, famous for developing the oral polio vaccine. He was also a hero to many in medicine because he refused to patent it. https://buff.ly/2FMNfTQ

        What happened to our altruism? Great and wonderful things can happen when not focused on profit which we seem to have forgotten, to our detriment. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of doing good in the world just to do good.

        Rotary clubs. How interesting. I’ve just learned of the influence Rotarian society has in this world, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
