Asked who owned the patent on his vaccine: "The people, I suppose. Could you patent the sun?"

Son of Russian-Jewish immigrants.
Brother of Dr. Lee Salk, a distinguished specialist in neuromuscular diseases.
Engaged in a four decade long rivalry with Dr. Albert Sabin. Sabin's live oral polio vaccine was developed at about the same time as Salk's injected killed virus vaccine, and the debate rages on over which vaccine has been more effective in combating polio in the long run.
