There is plenty of scientific proof that the adjuvants added to the vaccine are toxic and that the inhaled version contains live virus - it just isn't good business to play up those aspects.
It's no secret that the inhaled version contains a live, but weakened, virus. The media reports this fact. Health authorities also say that pregnant women are not to get the inhaled version.
"The inhaled vaccine is approved for people who are healthy with no underlying medical conditions, who are not pregnant, and who are between the ages of 2 and 49."

Adjuvants: CDC, Nov 3 2009:
Will the 2009 H1N1 vaccines that are currently recommended contain adjuvants? No. According to current federal plans, only unadjuvanted vaccines will be used in the United States during the 2009 flu season. This includes all of the 2009 H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines that will be available for children and adults in both the injectable and nasal spray formulations. None of these influenza vaccines will contain adjuvants. 2009 H1N1 vaccines with adjuvants are being studied to determine if they are safe and effective. Experts will review these data when they are available. There is no plan at this time to recommend a 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine with an adjuvant.
What I don't understand is if the treatment for the regular flu and the swine flu is exactly the same why do you need the shot. If you get either flu you take meds and that is it why do you need a shot? And from my background in the pharmaceutical industry I can tell you there is NO way they have done clear, concise clinical trials on this. NO WAY!! The FDA pushed this through because had they not Obama would have looked like he was useless in this area. Clinical trials take years not months. There is NO way they can say they can know for sure that this is safe there has simply not been enough research on it.
I really hope that people realize this and they realize that this vaccine was a political issue not a health issue.
Damn it - I didn't realize I misspelled that word. I apologize to the previous posters who tried to bring it to my attention.
Well, if it doesn't have adjuvants, how does it work?
And, why no adjuvants? Too unsafe for Americans?
It works the way all inactivated vaccines work, by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies. The adjvants were found to be unneccessary in testing to produce an antibody response.
