It would be very interesting to talk to someone who makes these or really understands the making of them to comment on that kind of thing, to quantify the risk.
Obviously most in the medical community rate the risk low enough to warrant going forward, but without knowing how those risks have been quantified and evaluated, neither you nor I can make an informed judgment about the risks of the H1N1 vaccine with respect to what you are talking about.

My boss is a professional chemist and he is pretty apprehensive about the squalene. He was trying to explain to me how it works and why it can be bad. Most of it was over my head, but I trust his opinion. For the record, he still might get the vaccine... but is undecided like me.
As I posted, other vaccines with boosters such as squalene have been scientifically studied and peer reviewed reports suggest that it has caused negative health effect in people in the past.
