What is the CANON explanation to Sgt. Johnson's Survival?

I've always been curious. First Strike mentions his "Boren's Syndrome" saved him from infection, but I heard that the Halo Graphic Novel was monitored by Bungie in it's creation. So what is it? Did his condition save him? Or did he escape heroicly? [Edited on 06.20.2009 5:17 PM PDT]

Why would they want to change it anyway? [/quote] Borens Syndrome was a stupid reason for him to be immune. I can easily understand why Bungie didn't like the idea of simply exposing people to radiation as a way to stop the flood. The definitive version of events does not show him getting swarmed with infection forms. It shows him managing to evade and kill them all. Boren's Syndrome had nothing to do with his escape, and it's highly likely he doesn't even have Boren's Syndrome.[/quote] I'm inclined to go with this explanation here. However I would like to point out that according to the hierarchy of the canon, new published works tend to outrank previous works. So the [i]Breaking Quarantine[/i] story from the graphic novel which shows him escaping because he is a badass and not immune to the flood would probably retcon what has been said in previous Halo novels.
