HBO’s latest hit, *Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness*, just dropped a massive cultural gut-punch. In episode four, a 1955 sketch featuring Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine breakthrough turns dark. When a neighbor rants against vaccines, he is hauled off to a psychiatric hospital by attendants. It’s a bold, futuristic jab at modern skepticism, blending history with sharp, unapologetic social commentary.
