Although it does not receive much attention today, the most well-known epidemic of the 1950s was Polio. It affected many people as it swept across America. The polio epidemic reached its peak in the 1950s. The cases of Paralytic Polio went from 33,000 in 1950 to 59,000 in 1952. In 1950, 34,000 people died of tuberculosis, and in 1957, 62,000 people died from influenza.
