17 – The Journal of Hygiene (1902)
https://archive.org/stream/journalofhygiene02nutt/journalofhygiene02nutt_djvu.txt
Without entering into details, I may say that, in the first place, the Commission saw, with some surprise, what had so often been noted in the literature, that patients in all stages of yellow fever could be cared for by non-immune nurses without danger of contracting the disease. The non-contagious character of yellow fever was, therefore, hardly to be questioned.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2004382/pdf/procrsmed00983-0204.pdf
Against the infectivity of the disease may be urged, first, the absence of spread of infection in hospital. The cases of poliomyelitis admitted to hospital freely mixed with other cases in the ward without any isolation or disinfection, some 70 children came in contact, but no infection took place..
37 – Experimental Epidemic Poliomyelitis in Monkeys (1909)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2124782/pdf/227.pdf

In none of these twelve cases was there any reaction whatsoever, either local or systemic.
43 – Journal Of American Medical Association (1919)
https://archive.org/details/pt02journalamericanm73ameruoft/page/1232/mode/2up
Evidently in our experiments we do not, as we believe, pursue nature’s mode of transmission; either we fail to carry over the virus, or the path of infection is quite different from what it is commonly thought to be.

49 – Epidemiological Studies Of Poliomyelitis In Kentucky (1936)
https://wellcomecollection.org/works/hvprgwj3
Painstaking efforts were made throughout the studies to obtain all traces of transmission of the disease through personal contact, but it appears that in this outbreak in Louisville evidence of personal association between the cases of poliomyelitis, suggestive of cause and effect, was no more common than that which might have been found if histories had been taken of personal association between cases of broken bones occurring in the city in the same period.
50 – The Antibody Response Of Human Subjects Vaccinated With The Virus Of Human Influenza (1936)
https://rupress.org/jem/article-pdf/65/2/251/1180927/251.pdf

https://sci-hub.ru/10.1097/00007611-193805000-00001
The general and usual epidemiological features of the disease [polio] all appear opposed to the hypothesis that poliomyelitis is a contagious disease spread among human beings by nose-to-nose or any other direct personal contact.

55 – Poliomyelitis Problems (1951)
https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1016/S0025-7125(16)35330-5
In the Cook County Contagious Disease Hospital where the latter procedure (for poliomyelitis) has not been used there has never been a doctor, intern, nurse or any other member of the personnel who contracted poliomyelitis within a period of at least thirty-five years, nor has any patient ever developed poliomyelitis after admission to the hospital.
56 – Archives of Pediatrics 1951-05: Vol 68 Iss 5 (1951)
https://archive.org/details/sim_archives-of-pediatrics_1951-05_68_5/page/220/mode/2up
Although poliomyelitis is legally a contagious disease, which implies that it is caused by a germ or virus, every attempt has failed conclusively to prove this mandatory requirement of the public health law.
57 – Archives of Pediatrics 1952-04: Vol 69 Iss 4 (1952)
https://archive.org/details/sim_archives-of-pediatrics_1952-04_69_4/page/186/mode/2up
In addition to the failure to prove contagiousness of human poliomyelitis, it has likewise been impossible to prove contagiousness of poliomyelitis in experimental animals.
58 – On the Epidemiology of Influenza (2008)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2279112/
An eighth conundrum – one not addressed by Hope-Simpson – is the surprising percentage of seronegative volunteers who either escape infection or develop only minor illness after being experimentally inoculated with a novel influenza virus.
