David Heymann
“We should commit resources, as we did to conquer polio in the fifties. We could quadruple the Alzheimer's budget and not saturate all clinical trials and possible targets. If we don't there will be hell to pay in twenty years.”
John Trojanowski

“Polio is not only an issue in Indonesia ... but it's an international issue. That virus, just as it came here from the African continent, could now go from here to a neighboring country and become implanted in that country if protection rates for polio were low.”
