That actually took place in 1935, 20 years before Salk developed his vaccine. Needless to say, the results were not good and the distribution was suspended...
Even some of the production of Salk’s vaccine had issues: In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.
The big difference with polio is that it was indiscriminate, it effected the sick and the healthy & the old and the young alike. Anyone can potentially acquire Covid, but it doesn’t effect everyone equally. It effects the old, the obese and the unhealthy to a much greater degree than the balance of the population.
The idea of giving the vaccine to healthy children, is truly absurd. No one knows what the long term side effects can or will be. Why risk that when those children are statistically not at risk from Covid?!?
