Reddit reviews Deliberate Release

I've long suspected that Eddie McSweegan's little novel "Deliberate Release" that he wrote while being paid to do nothing at the NIH as the Lyme Disease Program Manager was a veiled threat to his superiors when they suspended him. This was covered by 60 minutes years ago in a segment entitled "The Man With No Work". It's supposed to be a novel, but my guess is that this was McSweegan's pathetic passive-aggressive attempt to let the gov't know that if they tried to fire him, he'd become a whistle blower regarding the release of Borrelia burgdorferi.
