My high school "running buddy's" mom had polio while she was pregnant with him. She spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair, and he suffered no ill effects.
I worked with a fellow, who hired on as a laborer, for a few months - he'd had it as a kid. Walked with a bit of a limp, was highly intelligent (and educated); but had a hard time holding down a job. I commented to a physician (whom we were working for) that I thought that polio affected the brain - he told me that could be VERY true, and agreed with me, in Moises' case.
I also had the shot, and the sugar cube - ca: 1960.
