I asked a friend in medical research for information about the contents of the H1N1 vaccines being given in New Jersey. The information he gathered is included at the end of this message. It looks as though Steven Lawrence is correct that squalene is not currently being used as an adjuvant in USA H1N1 vaccines. Here is a link to an NIH study on the AS03 adjuvant (containing squalene). [http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00964951]
Unfortunately this trial may not be large enough or long enough to be an effective trial for the long term neurological effects which squalene is expected by some researchers to produce. All of the multidose vial delivery system H1N1 vaccines appear to contain significant amounts of thimerosal and I certainly would not recommend them, especially for pregnant women or children. The single dose syringe delivery system is much safer as it contains less than 1/25 the amount of Hg per dose. I agree with John Berry that vitamin D3 at several thousand units per day is a very effective protection against many viral infections. D3 deficiency is common in people who do not get frequent significant sun exposure and has been associated with many serious diseases in recent research. I have also found that MMS is amazingly effective against viral infections. It appears to cure the common cold in a few hours. I expect that it would be effective against H1N1 as well as other influenzas. See Camelot video interview with Jim Humble at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGjUp1zoov8 I have only used it against respiratory viruses at this point and I cannot say anything about other uses. Many claims are made on Jim Humble's web site. What is amazing to me is that ClO2 is not that toxic to humans but is very toxic to many pathogens. http://jimhumble.biz/# He only sells a book, the first half of which is free on the net.
