Only a very mig taken sense of security could have led to this retrograde step which has not been explained, but it is true that always there have been some people “so op. posed to vaccination that they never have ceased trying to be ill following their arrival.

The important point in the statement is that’ Khrushchev has departed far from the Stalin doctrine of infallibility.
