Original Note:
Polio was never renamed. In the 1950s, before polio vaccines were available, polio outbreaks caused more than 15,000 cases of paralysis each year. That number dropped 99% after the introduction of polio vaccines https://www.nfid.org/infectious-disease/polio/ https://science.feedback.org/review/epidemiological-data-refutes-the-claim-that-polio-is-renamed-to-hide-the-disease-and-the-polio-vaccine-doesnt-work/
