[] This gives some good all around info about Jonas Salk's background info and about the vaccine

[] Quotes: "Elsewhere there are still about 250,000 cases per year, mostly in developing nations where vaccination has not become widespread. The World #|Health Organization has goals to eradicate polio completely in the first decade of the twenty-first century."

Summary: This article really tells about the struggles of inventing the vaccine but about how much good it has done since it was invented.

[] Quotes: "Using formaldehyde, Salk killed the poliovirus, but kept it intact enough to trigger the necessary immune response."

"Given the fear and #|anxiety that polio caused during the first half of the century, the vaccine's success in 1955 made Salk an international hero, and he  spent the late 1950s refining the vaccine and establishing the scientific  principles behind it."

Summary: This article really goes into good #|detail about Salk's life and how he came about inventing the polio vaccine.

Quotes: "Since then, polio cases have plummeted from an estimated 350,000 in more than 125 countries to 223 reported cases in 2012, a drop of more than 99%, according to the World #|Health Organization."

"...in order to eliminate polio by 2018..."

Summary: This article just pretty much gives the statistics about polio and about how the vaccine is going to effect the #|future.

[] Quotes: "For every clinical case of polio, there are 200 subclinical ones that can present themselves merely as a bad summer cold; but that’s 200 active carriers who can and do spread the wild virus."

Summary: This site really goes into how one little country could effect the whole world. from this we can really draw how it would effect the world if the vaccine wasn't invented.

[] Summary: Although, it is a video it provides a lot of details about the polio disease and how the vaccine attacked the virus. Also, how the disease had spread immensely through everyday objects. This video also talks about Salk's partners and how they approached the disease in many labs. I think it is also important to understand Salk's background and knowing that he didn't come from a wealthy family so it shows that he had to deal with obstacles and that he wasn't just some rich scientist with a bunch of money lying around. it also talks about Salk's inspirations and his motivation to discover the "life changing" vaccine. (: [] Paraphrase: This article just provides general information about the disease and various way to catch the disease.Also, provides in great depth about different #|symptoms patients would endure during their stages of polio causing life altering effects Quotes: "Most commonly, the virus attaches to and infects intestinal cells, multiplies, and is excreted in the stool of the infected individual. Rarely, in 2% of the cases, the virus spreads from the gastrointestinal tract to the nervous system and causes paralytic disease." "Polio is spread in an "oral-fecal" manner. Person-to-person infection occurs by contact with infected mucus, phlegm, feces, or by contact with food and water contaminated by feces of another infected individual." "In non-paralytic polio which #|accounts for most individuals infected with polio, patients remain asymptomatic or develop only mild flu-like #|symptoms, including fatigue, malaise, fever, headache, sore throat, and vomiting" "Prior to the vaccine era and the use of modern ventilators, patients would be placed in an "iron lung" (a negative pressure ventilator, which was used to support breathing in patients suffering from paralytic polio). [] Okay, so how dorky am I? But I got really excited about this! lol. I was pretty much finding the same general info about Salk and the vaccine But this article talks about a group of Canadian #|students changing their minds about the famous vaccine which would be awesome for the warrant or the rebuttal or whatever it is called when understanding the conflicting viewpoint. You know what I mean? I think this article could help make our paper a lot stronger, so let's try to find some rebuttal things? lol. Let me know! Quote: "Ninety-seven students were randomized to either an evidence-based lecture on the benefits of the polio vaccine on population health or a presentation from a visibly affected victim of polio. We compared change in responses to a survey measuring vaccination attitudes between the two groups. The follow-up rate was 73%. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in change in response to any of the survey questions. In a post hoc analysis we found that 25% of students were less likely to recommend the vaccine after being provided with evidence supporting vaccination.These findings suggest that confronting deeply held beliefs regarding vaccination may paradoxically strengthen these belief systems." . Also, I wanted to apologize for how long it has taken me to get back to you, life has been crazy! But I'd like to talk about building the thesis statement and the body paragraphs for our rough draft. And then before the final draft is due we can talk about how to go about incorporating the introduction and conclusion and such, But just focusing on the thesis right now, how do you think we should approach that? Also, if you understand anything about the reference page or how to set it up, will you please explain it to me? Maybe I am just overthinking it lol. I tend to do that. But get back as soon as you can. See ya!

Hey i know nothing about the reference page but mr.gibbons said we didn't have to turn that in with the rough draft and that he will explain it to us before we have to turn it in. And about the thesis statement i believe before we do that we have to find what else came from the polio vaccine besides the curing of polio and i really can't find anything. all i could really find was that it started us fighting with another country, it was in one of my sources, and that was just a happy accident.

[] this source really goes into FDR's march of dimes and how it really helps with polio today. I think it would work really well for our thesis and one of the body paragraphs.

[] so as i was looking at the you tube video you put on here i noticed they said something about him being the first to use the double blind study. so i researched it i came across this website that really explains the double blind study and how salk used it. if you skip the first 6 mini paragraphs, they're not really paragraphs but i don't know what to call them. Quotes: "It is obvious that in a controlled placebo experiment it is always desirable that neither the members of the treatment group nor the members of the control group known to which of the two groups they belong. When this is the case the experiment is called a //blind experiment//. It is also desirable that the scientists conducting the experiment not know which individuals are given the actual treatment and which are given the placebo. The purpose of this is to make the observation, analysis and interpret ation of the results of the experiment as impratial as possible."

[] this is the website for Salk university it tells about the advancements in science thanks to students from here. there's alink that takes you right to their research.

Quotes: "Focused both on discovery and on mentoring future generations of researchers, Salk scientists make groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of cancer, aging, Alzheimer's, diabetes and infectious diseases by studying neuroscience, genetics, cell and plant biology, and related disciplines."

Okay, I'm trying my best to not freak out about this paper, but I just have no idea how to format it. Are you having any luck?

So I know the rough draft of the paper is due today and I hope this isn't too late to help you but from what I understand you have to take what the polio vaccine has lead to, the advancements, the double blind study, and the march of dimes, and they become your body paragraphs and you use the sources to explain how important the polio vaccine is. Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner I was at my papaw's and didn't have the internet. I really hope this helps you!!!

It did help a little.Thank you! I went to tutoring so I actually know what I'm doing now haha. I feel like such an awful partner, I haven't been much help to you and I'm so sorry. Now that I'm on the right track, we should be good. I went back and fixed all my sources and I'm gonna add another one. Again, so sorry!

While the science that laid the foundation for the vaccine was done by others, it was Salk who moved with lightning speed to develop and test it. As he relentlessly perfected the vaccine, he had to face down critics who argued that his approach, which used an inactivated rather than weakened form of the virus, was flawed. "Taking a live infectious agent and rendering it into a safe vaccine was just a tremendous piece of work," says Emilio A. Emini of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative" "But if Salk won long-lasting public gratitude after it was announced on Apr. 12, 1955, that the vaccine worked, he struggled to gain respect from his colleagues. Critics sniped that while his work was solid laboratory chemistry, others were responsible for the brilliant advances that made it possible. And some resented the sudden prominence that made him a figure much in demand. "My father wanted to go back to the lab," says son Dr. Darrell Salk, "but he couldn't.":

I just saw your comment and I wanted to let you know you're not an awful partner! I promise! and you've been a lot of help.

[] I just needed this source to describe an iron lung because I didn't write down my source from up there ^ and there is too many sources to read through for such a tiny piece of information

ok so since we couldn't meet in the library the other day here's the outline I was going to show you: Thesis: Jonas Salk inventing the polio vaccine lead to great advancements in the field of medicine which is revealed through the curing of polio, the march of dimes, the double blind study and the Salk institute Outline: Thesis Paragraph1: you would explain about the curing of polio and how that helped America Paragraph2: you would explain how the march of dimes wouldn't of advanced as quickly if Jonas Salk hadn't invented the polio vaccine. and how the march of dimes now greatly helps America. Paragraph3: you would then explain how the double blind study Salk used effectively worked and how we still use it today. Paragraph4:you would then explain how Salk founded the Salk Institute and how their advancements (you can find them on their website) has greatly advance the curing of diseases and things. Conclusion: I suck at conclusions! :) I hope this helps you with your rough draft.

Just glad to be done with it! I guess I work well under pressure haha I got a 91 on it. What about you?
