"His sole focus had been to develop a safe and effective vaccine as rapidly as
possible, with no interest in personal profit. 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?"
"In the summer of 2009, the new film by Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love
Story , includes a segment about Salk. According to Moore's website, "One of
the film's heroes is polio researcher Dr. Jonas Salk, who could have enriched
himself by claiming patent rights to his vaccine. He gave it away for free.
Saving millions from paralysis and death was reward enough."
