TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨🧬🦠 Researchers at the #Salk Institute in #California have discovered that our immune cells carry a molecular record of both our genes and our life experiences.
These "epigenetic fingerprints" determine whether your body mounts a mild response or a severe one when facing the exact same #virus as someone else.

The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs as polio nears global eradication − 70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab
Polio may finally be defeated in the next 5 years. Will the world recognize what an extraordinary achievement that is?
(((Cindy Weinstein)))"In 1954, national testing began on 1 million children, ages 6-9, who became known as the Polio Pioneers. On 4.12.55, the results were announced: the vaccine was safe & effective. In the 2 yrs before the vaccine was widely available, the average # of polio cases in the U.S. was more than 45,000. By 1962, that # had dropped to 910. . . . #Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any $ from his discovery, preferring it be distributed as widely as possible."
Paul_stilgarIf all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.
Jonas Salk ( American virologist and medical researcher who developed one of the first successful polio vaccines)
CQ SALK - Polio on the Air '25Curl up by the fire, grab a mug of $beverage, and think how great vaccines are, and how they have saved more lives than Cecil B. DeMille ever killed. Celebrate with us: today (UTC), April 12, 2025, is the 70th anniversary of the FDA approval of the Salk polio vaccine! We'll have more stations on tomorrow, but for now, W7P is on 40 and 80m FT8. Come join Polio on the Air! #vaccines #sciencerules #salk
Kenny SmithThe full, evergreen post on polio:
The US #polio epidemic peaked in 1952: 57,000+ cases, 3,145 died and 21,269 were left with paralysis.
Dr. Jonas #Salk developed a polio vaccine in 1955. (At one point in the #1950s survey respondents found him more recognizable in this country than Dwight #Eisenhower.)
Within two decades, domestic transmission of polio was wiped out in the #US.
Polio never reached natural herd immunity, it was eradicated by #vaccines.
