    Before Polio vaccines, most people who caught Polio recovered with no lasting effects, or were even asymptomatic. A small percentage of patients, for unknown reasons, would develop permanent neurological damage, up to permanent paralysis.

    This "long polio" is what terrified people, and why they lined up as soon as vaccines were available.
