Offit M.D.. The Cutter Incident: How America's First Polio Vaccine Led to the Growing Vaccine Crisis (Kindle Location 2832). Kindle Edition.This book is really worth the read. It not only describes the challenges of polio as a history, but also talks about why pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to make vaccines.
