January 28, 2016 / Don Riefler

During the American colonial period, the Native Americans were ravaged by smallpox, transmitted to them (sometimes purposefully) by a bunch of filthy, dirty Europeans. The first half of the 20th century was scourged by polio, killing and crippling children by the thousands before Jonas Salk finished development on his killed-virus polio vaccine in 1955.

Join Aaron as he looks at one of these pieces of legislation and the possible repercussions for the EPA.
