Sorry, I didn't catch it, Albert Sabin:

Salk's work "was pure kitchen chemistry," longtime rival Sabin said in 1990. "Salk didn't discover anything."

Salk blamed professional jealousy for criticism, saying, "Albert Sabin was out for me from the very beginning."

Many experts favor Sabin's vaccine, saying it is more effective at providing lifelong immunity and also spreads immunity to contacts of vaccinated people. Yet it carries a minute risk of causing polio, and produces the only known U.S. polio cases today.

Salk said his vaccine was safer. But only weeks after it was declared effective, officials discovered one manufacturer produced some vaccine tainted by live polio virus that infected 204 people, paralyzing three-quarters and killing 11. The government ordered manufacturers to filter the vaccine, a step Salk said reduced its effectiveness.

Full story

From that day forward, Sabin - who within several years saw the vaccine he developed over nearly a quarter century of research all but wipe out childhood polio in this country - would forever stand with Pasteur, Fleming and the other giants of medicine. It was estimated that by the time of his death at 86 in March 1993, Sabin's vaccine prevented nearly 5 million cases of polio and 500,000 deaths worldwide.
