  Do they even vaccinate against polio anymore I’m pretty sure I’ve never had a polio vaccine and I am pretty sure it’s extinct isn’t it?

    Polio has not been eradicated the way Smallpox has. There is no smallpox anywhere. There are Polio patients, relatively rare as they are.

    I’m no expert but at this point I think it’s a pretty safe bet that things come back if you stop vaccinating against it.

    Polio is not extinct. There is polio in India and Africa. Smallpox may be extinct, because of the vaccine, which causes that scar.
