Hammon and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis launched a pioneering medical experiment on a previously untried scale. Conducted on over 55,000 healthy children in Texas, Utah, Iowa, and Nebraska, this landmark study attempted to assess the safety and effectiveness of a blood component, 'gamma globulin' (which is derived by a process known as 'fractionation') to prevent paralytic polio. Although the study was condemned by many prominent health professionals, harbored potential risks, and returned dubious results, it was perceived as a triumph and used to justify a national immunization program from 1953 to 1954"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Forging momentum -- Building consent for a clinical trial -- Marketing and mobilization -- The pilot study -- Operation marbles and lollipops -- The national experiment. 600 10 $a Hammon, William McD. $q (William McDowell), $d 1904-1989. 610 20 $a National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis $x History. 650 0 $a Poliomyelitis $z United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Poliomyelitis $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gamma globulins $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Children $x History $z United States $x Prevention $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Clinical trials $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a KinderlaÂhmung. $0 (DE-588)4163840-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Impfung. $0 (DE-588)4026656-4 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Immunglobuline. $0 (DE-588)4026626-6 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Klinisches Experiment. $0 (DE-588)4164223-5 $2 gnd 830 0 $a Critical issues in health and medicine. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707014239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32C99B0419C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
