    The first polio vaccine was developed by Jonas Salk, a Jew. The oral version of polio vaccine was invented by Albert Sabin, also a Jew. Billions of people around the world owe their well being to these two Jewish inventors. Hundreds of thousands of kids who are not vaccinated in Pakistan will owe their miserable existence to Islam and Mohammed's teachings.
