...Amid the ensuing media bonanza, local health officials immediately announced a "full and urgent" investigation into Morton's death and ordered a batch of the vaccine to be withheld as a precaution. Less than a day later, a preliminary postmortem examination found that the vaccine was unlikely to have killed Morton and blamed instead a "serious underlying medical condition." Still, as many Western nations are about to begin massive inoculation programs against the H1N1 influenza, Morton's death underlines the cruel reality behind any vaccination campaign: there's always the risk that a small number of vaccine recipients will suffer...
...expected to cut deaths from cervical cancer in Britain by about 75% - or 650 deaths a year. So far, the vaccine has been given to 1.4 million women in Britain, and Morton's death is the first to be possibly linked to the shot. But there have also been less serious side effects in recipients.

...perhaps the most confusing part of the piece is why Cohen has chosen to label Harvard as a less “moral” cause than any other. Ultimately, Harvard is one of the most positive organizations that can be found in society, with contributions ranging from groundbreaking academic research to educating many of our nation’s leaders. With perhaps the most generous financial-aid initiative of its kind, the university has actively transformed itself from an enclave of the American social establishment into a vibrant intellectual community filled with individuals from the around the country...
