Saul Krugman (April 7, 1911 – October 26, 1995) was a physician, and later pediatrician, whose studies of hepatitis, rubella, and measles resulted in the development of vaccinations for these debilitating diseases.[1] The results of these studies were acquired through unethical medical practices involving experimentation on disabled children,[2] which came to light during the Willowbrook State School scandal of 1987.
