Yale Physicist Foresees Aiming Atomic Bullets Against Viruses

Atomic energy may soon successfully combat polio and other virus diseases, Professor Ernest C. Pollard, a Yale University physicist, recently announced. When atomic bullets are fired at viruses, antibodies, which are the defense mechanism of the human body, will be formed.

Scientists in the field of biophysics are also using ultraviolet light and heat to fight virus diseases. By such physical methods they hope to produce useful vaccines for viruses which are uncontrollable by other means.
