Original Note:
Polio is an infectious disease caused by the poliovirus, not by DDT poisoning. 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://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/01/31/fact-check-polio-caused-virus-combatted-vaccine-not-pesticides/11149763002/ https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/polio-vaccine-plays-a-critical-role-in-eradicating-polio-polio-is-caused-by-a-virus-not-by-ddt/
