They knew how bad poilio was because they lived it and weren't being fed daily bull**** that the reality was something other than it was. My father-in-law described the vaccine as seeming like a miracle when it arrived and getting a shot was viewed as not only self preservation and protection for his children but an act of good citizenship. A patriot act.

Polio deaths reached it's peak in 1979 at 379,000 deaths. vaccine came out around 1952? Covid vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid, Polio vaccine did prevent you from getting Polio.
