Prior to our wonderful #America250 @umichsph event yesterday, I had an opportunity to visit @UMich Rackham Auditorium where Dr. Thomas Francis Jr on April 12, 1955 famously announced at the conclusion of the polio vaccine field trial - “The vaccine works. It is safe, effective, and potent.” Great to take this photo with my friends, Dr. Georges Benjamin, CEO of @PublicHealth; Dr. Boris Lushniak, Dean of the @UMDPublicHealth; and @DanRGlickman, former Congressman & Secretary of Agriculture.
