Yes, that's why we vaccinate. Those pesky diseases can screw up a growing child's body quite effectively.

Are you referring to all the children that were mistakenly given the live poliovirus from the first round of polio vaccines?

I'm referring to the billions of people who now live without fear of polio, and have for several generations.

How many children are you referring to?

The 100,000 doses of Cutter-manufactured Salk vaccine in 1955 with insufficiently inactivated, producing ~300 cases of paralytic polio, and causing the NIH & PHS to create and apply minimum manufacturing standards?
