Health Workers and the Return of Polio'<br>
<br>
In early 2011, a CIA-recruited Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, entered Osama<br>
Bin Laden’s compound posing as a Hepatitis B vaccination worker. His real<br>
intention was to gather samples of the Bin Laden family’s DNA to aid the CIA<br>
in locating the Al Qaeda leader. Although Dr. Afridi was apparently<br>
unsuccessful, the CIA’s actions would have dire consequences for vaccine<br>
workers—and for the fight against vaccine-preventable diseases.<br>
<br>
On Tuesday, the Obama administration indicated it would no longer employ<br>
vaccination programs in its intelligence efforts. This announcement came in<br>
response to a letter, sent by the deans of twelve U.S. schools of public health,<br>
condemning the practice.<br>
<br>
The damage, however, has already been done.<br>
