There is a whole new class of vaccines the drug companies are pushing
that are supposed to prevent generally non-life-threatening illnesses
like Chicken Pox.  Merck's Chicken Pox vaccine ad is particularly
heinous, as it promotes the vaccine as preventing cosmetic blemishes
that result from Chicken Pox.

Another in a long line of medicines for healthy people with unknown
long-term effects.

If you are interested in Vaccine safety and dangers, there is an
organization devoted to the subject:

National Vaccine Information Center

My apologies for the off topic matter, and now for some Oracle
content:

* You can update SYS.LINK$ and flush the shared pool to change the
  password for a DB link, rather than dropping and re-creating the
  link (not supported but works great!).
