Polio was eradicated except for a few rare cases.

“CUTTER INCIDENT”
FAULTY VACCINE FROM UNREGULATED LAB
4 Million doses were produced but many new cases of Polio were reported. Cutter Lab was found to have produced harmful vaccines and all shots were stopped. In May of 1955, Surgeon General Leonard Sheele suspended the program. By this time, over 400,000 children had already been given the faulty doses and of those, 250 developed Polio and it was spread to as many as 220,000 other people.
In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.

April 12
POLIO ANNOUNCED AS SAFE
One year later, on April 12, 1955, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America. In the ensuing decades, polio vaccines would all but wipe out the highly contagious disease in the Western Hemisphere.

POLIO CLINICAL TRIALS ON CHILDREN
On April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin at the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia. Children in the United States, Canada and Finland participated in the trials, which used for the first time the now-standard double-blind method, whereby neither the patient nor attending doctor knew if the inoculation was the vaccine or a placebo.

FDR CONTRACTED POLIO
President Roosevelt got Polio and worked with doctors to develop a cure.
1918
SPAIN
SPANISH FLU
It is estimated that between 25 and 40 million people died
from the influenza outbreak that began in 1918, took about 7 days to sweep across America, and three months to sweep around the world. World War 1, which had just ended, took 9 million lives;
1908
USA
FDR CONTRACTED POLIO
Karl Landsteiner’s identification of the polio virus in 1908, an epidemic in New York killed 2400 people (mostly children) and left thousands more with a life-long disability. In the 1950s, summer outbreaks in the USA caused tens of thousands of cases, leaving hundreds paralysed or dead. `Second only to the atomic bomb’, polio was `the thing that Americans feared the most’.
