note = "Funding Information: The most important public health event in the United States of the 1950s was the conquest of polio, that crippling childhood disease which once held parents across the nation in its grip of terror. While the story of Jonas Salk has acquired a mythic status, the fundamental scientific contributions leading to the development of the polio vaccine are less well known. Some of the most important advances were made at The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health by Howard Howe and David Bodian; Isabel Morgan joined the group for a brief but brilliantly productive period in the late 1940s. Kenneth Maxcy, the successor to Wade Hampton Frost as Professor of Epidemiology, directed the Poliomyelitis Research Laboratory and brought in generous grants from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to support the research.
