[on the Salk/Younger inactivated Polio vaccine distributed by Cutter in the 1950s]
In fact, over 200,000 American Children were administered a defective polio vaccine. Approximately 40,000 children contracted polio, 200 were paralyzed, and 10 died. It turns out that Cutter knew that many of the vaccines were defective. This caused a polio epidemic amongst the families and communities where the children received a defective vaccine
