No polio epidemics every summer.

Polio? Methinks you have the wrong disease, and in any case, most herds
were TT by the war, and a high proportion of the milk was pasteurised
anyway.

Not from milk. Things forgotten about the good old days.

Undulant fever/brucellosis was transmitted via unpasteurised milk

Also TB. Polio, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A etc. are transmitted
by sewage-contaminated water - now, several of those COULD also be
transmitted by dung-contaminated milk, but I don't know offhand
which ones can be carried by cattle.
