Well, I scanned the article and to me it's just a repeating pattern on a world stage of what we've seen all too much of here: that is, catch someone in a scandal and then give that person a promotion! For examples: Larry Potts after Waco, the FBI person cited by name in the Colleen Rowley(?) memo tapped to advance, etc.

And, oh yeah, accept a vaccine at your own risk! I understand that in 1979 a hepatitis B vaccine was offered to the gay community in San Francisco. 80% of those receiving it later got AIDS (much greater than the members of AIDS community NOT receiving the vaccine).

Stay in the state of grace and pray!

That was an experimental vaccine, not the Hep B vaccine in use today.

Of course, you're right to be cautious about vaccines in general.
