They asked him who owned the polio vaccine. His answer? “The people.”

In the 1950s, polio terrified families, leaving thousands of children paralysed.

Dr Jonas Salk helped change history. In 1955, following a trial involving 1.8 million children, his groundbreaking polio vaccine was declared effective.

When asked who owned the patent, Salk famously replied:

“Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”

His words remain a powerful reminder that the greatest achievements aren't always about personal gain, but about what we can give to others.

Sometimes, changing the world starts with giving something away.
