Polio Vaccine

I received quite a few emails and texts tonight about this episode of 60 minutes.  It's about 15 minutes long, but it is a fascinating Phase 1 trial for Stage 4 brain tumors.  Duke University is injecting Polio into the tumors and the body's immune system turns on the polio and kills the tumors.  It's a bit nerve-wracking for me to watch, but exciting at the same time.  If you have some time, watch it!
