Re: Polio Vaccine
I think pure, safe vaccines are the best of all worlds.
That being said, if you look at the data of disease mortality over time versus vaccination introduction, the data seems to suggests that it was sanitation, antibiotics, and improved water quality that reduced death from many of theses diseases much more so than vaccines (of particular note is how scarlet fever and typhoid fever - for which there is no vaccine for the years studied - follows the same decreasing slope of mortality over each decade similarly to those diseases for which there are vaccines):
