Jonas Salk, the man responsible for the discovery and development of the first successful polio vaccine in 1955. He chose not to patent his discovery in order to make it more affordable to the millions of people who needed it.
As a result, he missed out on earning an estimated US$7billion.
When he was asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk replied: “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” #hope #positive #amazing #needmorepeoplelikethisintheworld #polio #vaccine #jonas #patent #photooftheday #instagram #instagood #instamood
