SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
Wikipedia - Hilary Koprowski grew up in Warsaw where he attended the Liceum Ogólnokształcące and from age twelve took piano lessons at the Warsaw Conservatory. He received his medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine at Warsaw University in 1939. He also received music degrees from the Warsaw Conservatory and - in 1940 - from the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome. He adopted scientific research as his life's work, although he never gave up music and composed several musical works.In 1939, after the Nazi invasion of Poland Koprowski and his wife Irena, a medical doctor, fled first to Rome, then in 1940 to Paris and finally - via Spain and Portugal - to Brazil, where Koprowski worked for the Rockefeller Foundation in Rio de Janeiro. His field of research for several years was finding a live-virus vaccine against yellow fever.
"Eugenics would have been so much bizarre parlor talk had it not been for extensive financing by corporate philanthropies, specifically the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Harriman railroad fortune. They were all in league with some of America's most respected scientists from such prestigious universities as Stanford, Yale, Harvard and Princeton. These academicians espoused race theory and race science, and then faked and twisted data to serve eugenics' racist aims." Cont=>

And yet more "surprises":
The vaccine quest had three main competitors: Albert Sabin...Jonas Salk...Hilary Koprowski
All were Jewish
Or is this even a suprise anymore?
