Polio is not directly related to President Harry S. Truman, but he was president during a time when polio was a significant public health concern in the United States. Truman supported efforts to combat polio, including funding for research and vaccination programs. Notably, the polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk was introduced in the 1950s, after Truman's presidency, but the government's response to the epidemic laid the groundwork for these advancements.
