David Dobbs, who writes the Neuron Culture blog, is the author of several books (including Reef Madness & The Great Gulf), and writes with some regularity for the New York Times Magazine, Slate, Audubon, and Scientific American Mind, where he is a contributing editor.
Today he examines, in an article in Slate Magazine, the seldom discussed global ramifications of the United State’s decision to go with an unadjuvanted swine flu vaccine.
Whether you favor of the use of adjuvants or not, it is important to understand how our decision not to use them impacts the rest of the world.
David does a terrific job explaining the global costs of that decision, along with political realities of trying to `sell’ an adjuvanted vaccine to the American public.
The United States' swine flu vaccines will leave millions worldwide unprotected.

David also has a blog post on Neuron Culture about this subject. Both are highly recommended.
