A recent addition to the story of Dr. Shakil Afridi (the Pakistani doctor who helped locate Osama Bin Laden inside of his compound through a false vaccination program) involves the recent firing of 17 health-care workers who were involved in some manner with the false vaccination program. 17 or these workers include 15 women who were health-care employees in the region that the compound was located. These 17 workers are thought to have been completely in dark as to the aim of the vaccination program, meaning that they were used by Afridi to get more information. This entire scandal has led to increased tensions between the US and Pakistan, and has increased panic among Pakistani people that vaccinations are a tool of the American government.
