Variously described by Hooper’s informants as a Renaissance genius, or ’a man of extreme ambition’ and ’very limited conscience’, Koprowski is evidently blessed with bluster, charm and an overweening ego, a man who would cut corners and stop at nothing to realise his scientific dreams.

But Hooper refuses to endorse such demonstrations, believing that the problem is not a matter of blame but of historical research.

 AEGiS-NYBR: Review: Something Happened
Hooper believes that Koprowski sent the kidneys of some chimpanzees from his Lindi research station to his lab in Philadelphia and used them to make the vaccine that was later administered in Africa.
Hooper found that the earliest cases of HIV and AIDS emerged from the very regions and, in some cases, the very towns and villages in Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi where some of Koprowski's trials took place.
She does tell Hooper she is pretty sure some chimp kidneys went to Koprowski's lab, but since no one else remembers this, and since there is no record of what Koprowski did with the kidneys, this is still not much to go on.
