	Dr Hilary Koprowski - The Man of Many Ideas
		That Koprowski's first visit to the Congo, in 1955, occurred by accident, as a result of either (a) a mechanical breakdown of his plane, or (b) a strike by Sabena staff.
		He was at pains to emphasise that his polio vaccine was a living vaccine, and that any competent virologist could therefore have grown up a fresh batch in a primate tissue culture of his or her own choosing.
		Koprowski went on to say that production of his vaccines had been going on in Belgium, Switzerland and South Africa, and he implied that exactly the same thing could have happened in the Belgian Congo.

		Koprowski says today that although he was challenged by WHO, he needed only the approval of the Belgian authorities -- and there's no doubt he had that.
		Koprowski is still vigorous and remains at the Wistar Institute, in Philadelphia -- now as an institute professor and until 1991 as the director of the facility, which is housed in a stolid Victorian structure on the campus of the university of Pennsylvania.
		Moreover, Koprowski says the kidneys used at Wistar were bought already removed from their hosts, meaning that researchers might not have been sure what kind of monkeys they came from, much less what viruses came with them.

	New Round of Legal Threats
		For instance, Dr Koprowski recently threatened one TV station that had broadcast the documentary that he would take legal action unless they posted an on-screen retraction of the major points of the film within a finite time period.
		Paragraph 6: The claim that no dissenting views were included in the film is false, for we see several of the aforementioned scientists (including Plotkin, Weiss and Wain-Hobson, as well as the principal vaccine-maker, Hilary Koprowski), expressing their scepticism or rejection of the OPV hypothesis in the film.
		What Dr Plotkin fails to acknowledge is that as Koprowski’s most trusted assistant after his (Plotkin’s) arrival at the Wistar Institute in August 1957, and as someone who spent the month of May 1959 in the Belgian Congo reviewing the vaccination programme, he actually played a rather prominent role, probably exceeded only by Koprowski himself.

		BUT when Dr. Hilary Koprowski, Stanley Plotkin and Paul Osterrieth went to Africa, they found that the OTHER monkeys that were customarily used for their body parts to make the vaccine, were not readily available.
		So, Dr.Hilary Koprowski, Stanley Plotkin and Paul Osterrieth, who were really rushing to get their test of this new type of Polio shot done before others, went ahead and used Chimpanzee body parts to make the Polio vaccine that was used to immunize the over 1000 people of Africa that were used in the test.
		And we have actual photographs showing Dr. Hilary Koprowski, Stanley Plotkin and Paul Osterrieth working with many, many Chimpanzees at their private research center in Africa at the time where they were making the vaccine that was used to immunize the people in Africa against the Polio disease.

		Hooper's first preconceived notions was about me when he states in a letter to Gaston Ninane, a friend of mine from the days of the Congo 'I'm no more of afan of him (Koprowski) and his party than you are'.
		The letter was written on February 1, 1993 before the author of the book had met me. The book is full of ad hominum attacks against me. Rather than make a point by point rebuttal, I will just cite one of them.
		As a result, the publication of this book and the totally erroneous arguments on which it is based has caused near hysteria, with Koprowski being called the 'greatest murderer in history'.

		Ruzizi Valley, where 215,504 subjects were vaccinated in 1958, is located in the northwestern part of the Republic of Burundi, not in the Kivu district of Zaire, an area where Curtis placed "the lion's share of their [Koprowski and his associates] samples" (1).
		In addition, even if one speculates that green monkey tissue could somehow have been mixed up with rhesus monkey tissue, it has been shown that neither embryonic nor kidney tissue removed from SIV-infected African green monkeys contains SIV (13), (14).
		Curtis attempts to make a case by saying "the Koprowski Congo preparation" may have been contaminated with an "unidentified cell-killing virus" found by Albert Sabin (15).
