Walter, as you requested here is a copy of my letter to the CDC in re. the
polio vaccine. It's based on information posted by Eddie Bollenbach that I
hope I have interpreted correctly:

        Dear Ms. Kovach:
        As a polio survivor of the 1950 epidemics I would strongly urge your
committee to recommend use of the killed (improved) Salk vaccine first, which
will provide a level of immunity before the Sabin live vaccine is used. As
I'm sure you are aware the only cases of polio in the U.S. for the past
several years have been caused by the live Sabin vaccine and it is
unconscionable to subject anyone to the horror of polio and Post Polio
Syndrome for the sake of convenience much less the marginal profits of a
large corporation.
 
        Thank you for your consideration.
 
                                                Richard Coram

I hope this is what you had in mind and I am posting it here to the List in
case you would like to offer corrections to others who haven't written yet.
 
Take care, Coram in alabam
