The 35000 cases were an insignificant number, and most of those cases were extremely mild, with no lasting consequences.
After the introduction of the salk vaccine, serious paralytic polio spiked, and deaths too. It was caused by the vaccine. I had several friends that were disabled by the vaccine caused disease, in 1955 if my memory serves. It was prepared by Cutter Labs of Berkeley.
I found myself in an interesting position shortly thereafter, when my closest cousin married the only son of the CEO of Cutter. It was really sticky when I asked him if he would like to meet some of the victims of his product.

You heartless moron. You have been blinded by your stupid anti-vaccine nuttiness. 3,000 deaths is ‘mild’?!?!
1949: In the US, 2,720 deaths occurred from polio, and 42,173 cases were reported.
1952: in The US, polio killed 3,300; 57,628 cases reported.
This was BEFORE the vaccine. Once the vaccine was used, polio was drastically reduced, deaths declined to a fraction of that in 1952, and within 25 years polio was wiped out in the US.
