In 1955, Polish scientist Hilary Koprowski developed the first polio vaccine - three years before Salk. But when a key lab assistant disappeared with the culture samples, the breakthrough vanished from history. Through never-before-translated journals and a recent DNA discovery, we reconstruct this medical Cold War mystery and project how 700,000 lives might have been saved if this vaccine had reached market first.
