CUNNING FOR
MOSQUITOES

AAft = 40 tAAS w NAG 10 AAOAAt
meth F. Maxcy, professor OF
epidemiology at Johns Hop
kins University, character
ICES the act of the state
health officer of Georgia in
s tting up a quarantine
against Florida because of
the presence in this state of
polio.
Wilson T. Sowder, Flor
ida's state health officer
wired DIR. Maxcy and scores
of other doctors in the Unit
ed States who have had ex-
tensive experience in the
treatment of polio, and all
replies condemned the act
ion of Georgia's state health
officer.
His action is remindful of
the shotgun quarantine"
that prevailed in Florida 60
years ago, against counties
where cases of yellow fever
had been reported. The late
DR.. Joseph Y. Porter, of
Key West, Florida's first
health officer, gave an in
teresting, as well as enter
tanning account, of the way
posses were organized in
various counties to enforce
quarantine with shotguns.
Nobody then knew how
| yellow fever was transmit
ted, and, after the discovery
that mosquitoes were car
riers of that disease, it was
facetiously remarked that
the posses had been gun
ming for mosquitoes.
Nobody knows now how
polio is transmitted, but we
| believe it is safe to say that
Georgia's health officer is
cunning for mosquitoes.
Briefly here are a few of
the answers DR.. Sowder re-
ceived:
DR.. Thomas Rivers, Director,
Rockefeller Institute,
New York City:
| do not believe there is
sufficient evidence to war
rant interstate quarantine as
a means of preventing the
spread of poliomyelitis. l
have very positive convic-
tions concerning this.
New York State
Health Department,
James Perkins, M. D.,
Deputy Commissioner:
/ Interstate quarantine USE
less as means of preventing
spread of poliomyelitis, in
my opinion.
School of Public Health,
Columbia University
! DIR Haven Emerson
Uselessness of state bOr-
der quarantine to control
| poliomyelitis was demon
strated in New York thirty
/ years ago as an exercise of
state sanitary authority such
a measure is futile techni-
! cally. A betrayal of public
i confidence and respect for
medical science. Economi-
cally wasteful of time and
effort and unjust to business
transportation and COM
merce nationally and inter-
nationally. Accepted prin-
ciples and standards of COM
municable disease control
intrude no such extreme
measure by state or nation
for poiomyelitis. Only hys-
terical fear can explain the
issuance of so cruel and
profitless an order by a
State Health Authority.
K. F. Meyer, MD, Director,
Hooper Foundation,
San Francisco:
Quarantine m e asure S
against poliomyelitis biolog-
ically unsound and admin
stratively impossible. Quar-
antine concept is Medieval.
