Do we have studies for this that compare two controlled groups in same environment?

Don't fotget about "accidents" that spread Polio by vaccination on 120000 children, like Cutter incident.

For many values of 'this' in the medical domain, yes.

Err, the Cutter incident spread Polio via live polio virus rather than by Polio vaccination.

Absolutely an example of a serious and deadly Quality Control f*ckup that led to a complete change in how vaccine production was approached.

are you questioning the link between vaccines and polio almost entirely disappearing from all but about 4 countries on the planet?

what alternative "theory" do you have in this case?

Increasing wealth and overall hygiene.

99% polio cases are nowadays in developing countries.

What mechanism would you suggest connects wealth with polio?

I'm not sure if I understand a question. You mean how could wealth help with disapearing of polio?
