Discrepancies on the flu.gov website regarding the use of squalene adjuvants in H1N1 vaccines are highlighted. While the US government claims no adjuvants are "currently" used, the hosts suggest they are being phased in. Reports from Sweden are cited, alleging that several people have died or become seriously ill shortly after receiving the swine flu vaccination, though the hosts admit the machine translations of Swedish news are crude.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a $2,500 contest for user-generated public service announcements regarding flu prevention. The contest, hosted on YouTube and flu.gov, seeks creative and entertaining videos to promote H1N1 awareness. Critics mock the initiative as an embarrassing attempt by the government to "indoctrinate" the public through social media.
