RIP Paul Parkman, codeveloper of the rubella (“German measles”) vaccine. He and Harry M. Meyer assigned their patent to the government so the vaccine could be put to use more quickly. “I never made a nickel from those patents because we wanted them to be freely available to everybody.”

The rubella vaccine is the “R” in the MMR vaccine. Andrew Wakefield, who profited handsomely from fraudulently claiming that vaccine was linked to autism, and is responsible for uncounted deaths, lives on.
