bullshite. My Uncle had polio and his legs were crippled from it. He wore braces all his life.
Polio was not a “Major” issue in America during the vaccine effort
In the worst years you had 1,000 or so deaths and 5-10k cases of crippling
If you posted that as the covid numbers everyone e would say “that’s like .0000005%”

That's great, but if you had to have one or the other, you would pick covid. If you're not elderly and reasonably healthy without and major health conditions (this is not a small amount of people in America) there's no reason to even really worry about covid.
