I am big proponent of vaccines and of correcting misinformation. You are wrong about the definition and use of attenuated vaccines. Attenuated vaccines are weakened but not killed or "deactivated" to use your word. There are several live viral vaccines in use including the MMR, the nasal influenza, rotavirus, and the chicken pox and shingles shots. The oral polio is not used in the US anymore, but is elsewhere, but it also is a live viral vaccine.
