   Wait until the first few thousands go first, as expedient guinea pigs:   
      
   "In the 1950s, one of the first polio vaccines to hit the market was   
   administered to over 200,000 children in the mid-United States.   
      
   "The defective vaccine contained an active virus, leaving 200 kids paralyzed   
   and 10 dead.   
      
   "The infamous Cutter Incident is a moment in the history of science that   
   many might like to forget. But according to Meredith Wadman, author of The   
   Vaccine Race, it's these very stories that highlight how important it is to   
   remember the devastating diseases that have haunted humanity — and how far   
   we've come toward getting rid of them.   
      
   "'[The Vaccine Race] really recovers stories we need to recover,'" Wadman   
   told host Stephen Quinn on CBC's The Early Edition.   
      
   A controversial history   
      
   "Wadman's book follows the long and controversial history of vaccinations in   
   North America. She covers the race between scientists to produce vaccines   
   for diseases such as rubella, as well as the troubling work that many   
   researchers undertook following the Second World War.   
      
   "'It was standard U.S. medical practice that vulnerable populations —   
   generally institutionalized groups, be they dying cancer patients, premature   
   babies, ... [or] orphans — were used as essentially human guinea pigs,' she   
   said. 'This was done with the sign-off and the approval of the medical   
   research establishment.'"   
      
   "The infamous Cutter Incident left 200 children paralyzed and 10 dead after   
   the adminstration of a defective polio vaccine.   
      
   "Wadman says the tendency to give vulnerable people unreliable vaccines   
   emerged from wartime rhetoric.   
      
   "'It grew out of a World War 2 mentality — an-ends-justify-the-means   
   mentality — when the aim was to get medicines and vaccines to soldiers at   
   the front because civilization was at stake,' she said. 'But when the war   
   ended, the mentality did not.'   
      
   "Wadman says loose regulations on vaccination testing persisted until the   
   1970s."
