Why would a cell-based flu vaccine plant catch my eye? Because it would likely reduce adverse events from flu vaccines. Egg based technology leaves the risk for allergic reactions to egg proteins that might remain in the vaccine. By moving away from this technology, the U.S. could have a safer vaccine in place.

Surely, this must be the result of hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by Generation Rescue on vaccine safety research, is it not? :)

As far as I know, the so-called “vaccine safety” groups have never done anything to improve the safety profile of any vaccine. As Orac noted, they have yet to define what would constitute “safe enough” for vaccines.
