Oh, the simplistic 19th century and its quaint and archaic superstitions...
In today's world, why irrationally fear polio when obesity is the major cause of disease and death, statistically and rationally, as opposed to emotionally and archaicly, removing the children from obese people would a more worthy endeavour, and of course save more lives.
Most likely, as far as history will and will actually reveal, it was not "everyone" who had to fear polio, but rather a very specific demographic(s) in which it was most rampant, and not entirely unrelated to, nor unrelated to a product of industrialization, as far as the history of the emergence of various diseases to begin with, and what things factored into their causes.
