Of course not. What kind of ridiculous question is that? Last I checked, this was America. We aren't even sure chicken eggs are the best way to make chickens.
In America, we would rather write with a multi-million dollar space pen than to simply write with a pencil. Why? Because we're American! What do we look like? A bunch of Russians? We aren't writing with a stupid pencil!
This is America, though, not Russia. So, no, chicken eggs are not the best. If we're going to make some completely unnecessary vaccine for some stupid three-quarters imaginary illness like the swine flu, we ought to do it right. You know, in one-use test tubes inside some giant specialized refrigerator that costs more than the national budget of Portugal, under the direction of a team of fifteen highly-educated clinical minds that have all earned their doctorates whose job it is to check continually the progress of a process that they know for a fact is going to take at least five months while dressed in sanitary scrubs and funny-looking plastic bags on their heads so they do not accidentally drop a hair into our unnecessary vaccine and vaccinate us from both swine flu and over-educated scientists.

True, but realize that vaccines are intended to do nothing but prime one's own immune system. Unlike antibiotics and medications, vaccines don't directly cause one's immune system to relax too much, because the immune system does all the work.
However, I agree that vaccinating against a mild flu virus is plain stupid. Preservatives and other poorly understood aspects of vaccines make it a trade-off that isn't worthwhile for these types of diseases.
Also, the space pen is awesome, and the notion that it's a multi-million dollar R&D effort is a myth. It's a simple (though non-obvious) invention, and is even cost-competitive with crappier pens.
Stuff like the space pen is what made this country great!
Yeah, I know that we didn't actually spend millions of dollars on the space pen--but we would do it if we had t. :D
