1952 was the last year there was a strong incidence of paralytic polio. Around that time DDT was beginning to be discontinued in the US--not because there was a connection between paralysis in humans and pesticides but because too many animals were dying from the DDT that entered their food supply. So DDT was farmed out to third world countries (where many cases of paralysis were reported).
You'll recall that polio only struck in the summer months. Why were there no outbreaks in the winter? Recall that the beaches were continually sprayed with DDT during the summer months.
As far as why some people got sick and others didn't--it could be that certain people ingested a larger dose of the poison. In many families, only one person came down sick--the others untouched.
