On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

In normal America, Republicans shutting down the gov't to stop the Epstein files from being released would be a scandal.

In fascist America, we call it Tuesday.
