Perhaps, but the release of the trial's full data has not quelled the early criticism that bubbled up around it. Some researchers contend that the second and third analyses of the data - including the "per protocol" analysis, which included only the 12,450 volunteers who received all six vaccine or placebo injections and completed the trial and the "intent to treat" analysis, which included everyone except the previously HIV-infected participants - show that the results are not statistically significant.

To prevent that from happening to a constituency no politician likes to alienate - or, worse, having doctors cut services to patients - Congress in 2003 passed a one-year spending patch to fix the problem; six fixes later, that "temporary" solution has become an annual, bipartisan affair that hasn't solved the fundamental problem. So now, unless Congress acts, doctors are looking at a wage cut of 21% next year and 40% the year after...
