When Kramer claims to be able to raise enough money to cure Polio at a bachelor auction, Jerry say, "I believe they have had a cure for Polio for quite some time." Then Kramer says Polio in a weird way......why does he repeat it. Perhaps to suggest that Jerry was thinking of the correct disease or was it to verify that it really was Polio that was cured. Just wonderin'

🧠 Theory
Fans debate why Kramer repeats the word "Polio" after Jerry corrects him about whether a cure exists, with theories that he's questioning Jerry's knowledge or expressing disbelief at being corrected.

My take on this was that Kramer is saying, 'Are you sure you're thinking of Polio?' By simply saying "Polio!?" he is attempting to make Jerry feel bad for questioning him. I think at this point, he doesn't believe that he is wrong.
