Hep B vaccination trebles MS risk!

Any comments on the following?

Immunisation with recombinant hep B vaccine trebles the risk of developing multiple scierosis according to new US research based on UK statistics.
So say researchers from the Harvard school of Public Health who conducted a nested case-control study, published in NEUROLOGY, using the General Practice Research Database in the UK.

The vaccine is offered to British nurses by HNS employers in case of needlestick injuries. and evidence of immunisation is required by some nursing agencies.
In France 2001-02 people claming damages in court lost their cases. Since the issue has raised it's head again vaccination has been temporarily suspended pending further enquiry.
