In the early 1950s, before polio vaccines were available, polio outbreaks caused more than 15,000 cases of paralysis each year in the U.S. https://historyofvaccines.org/vaccines-101/what-do-vaccines-do/disease-eradication https://www.cdc.gov/polio/why-are-we-involved/index.htm#:~:text=Polio%20has%20been%20eliminated%20from,originated%20in%20the%20United%20States.
