Polio was around before DDT, and "infant mortality" includes deaths up to one year of age, long after they leave the hospital. Infants actually have very health immune systems as they get all the antibodies from their mother. The mother's had more to fear from a doctor's dirty hands than newborns did.

DDT was made in 1874, first polio outbreak was 1894. Other pesticides also existed before that time. The timeline is curious isn't? They started regulating pesticides in the 1950s at the same time we saw a drastic reductions in polio and small pox. By the 70s total bans on the worst pesticides had been enacted and at the same time both diseases were declared eradicated. Not quite though, the vaccines still cause damage they just give it other names like cerebral palsy and MS.
It was first synthesized in 1874. It was not turned into an insecticide until 1939. Polio has existed for thousands of years. You're right about the outbreaks, but that could be from a mutation that made it more transmissible. By the 70s we also had both the smallpox and polio vaccines and they were widespread. My mother was born in 1939. No one around her was dying of smallpox because inoculation was common and had been since the 1800s, though it was a riskier inoculation than most today. Smallpox was pretty much eradicated in the developed world. The last known case was in the late 1970s. Polio is not eradicated and still shows up, coincidentally, where vaccines are less utilized.
