Thats the reason that you see so little of it in the US today. Because . . . .

Statistically youre better off without the vaccine

So let's ignore the number of people that WOULD have contracted polio without the vaccine.
Your argument is silly

You idiot, there would be a lot more cases if people didn't have vaccines. In 1952 "Of the 57,628 cases reported that year 3,145 died and 21,269 were left with mild to disabling paralysis." but vaccines are bad. You also forgot something
quote:
The 175 diagnosed wild polio virus (WPV) cases worldwide in 2019 represented the highest number of cases since 2014, but still a 76% reduction from the 719 diagnosed cases in 2000 and a 99.95% reduction from the estimated 350,000 cases when the eradication effort began in 1988.
You should do more research because vaccines work.

When we are close to eradicating a disease, of course the extremely rare vaccine-derived illnesses will outnumber the "wild" cases. The correct interpretation of the statistics is in 1988, 350,000 people worldwide contracted polio, or 1 in 15,000 of the global population. This year fewer than 1,000 will contract polio, or less than 1 in 7 million. Statistically we are about 500 times better off with the vaccine.
