A note: this episode mentions the development of the polio vaccine. This vaccine's development is wacky and absolutely wild in its own right, and many of the methods used, particularly early in the process, were completely bonkers and would not hold up to modern scrutiny; indeed many were criticised even at the time. The point is to highlight a case where people were not non-consensually used to innovate medically, NOT to highlight an example of a perfect developmental process. If I can find an excuse to talk about the development of the polio vaccine in more depth at some point, I absolutely will because it is completely wild.
