Scenarios about 'polio'
Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects children, causing paralysis and sometimes death by attacking the nervous system. During the early to mid-20th century, polio epidemics caused widespread fear and led to significant public health initiatives, including the development of vaccines by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. In alternate history scenarios, different outcomes of polio research or earlier eradication efforts could dramatically alter modern medical history and the lives of notable figures affected by the disease.
