This form of squalene has been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by Gulf War veterans known as the Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).

How Dangerous is the Swine Flu Vaccine?


The swine flu scare has slowed down but first-world countries around the world, including the U.S., are still bent on creating a swine flu vaccine.

There’s a strong possibility that American children would be among the first test subjects of a mass swine flu vaccination when they go back to or start school this fall.

This is a disturbing development because the swine flu vaccine might be more dangerous than the swine flu itself!

How the Swine Flu Vaccine is Developed

Vaccines are concocted by using dead viruses or live ones that have been weakened and made less harmful, natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola explains.

Aside from using a particular virus strain (in this case, the h1n1 virus), flu shots can also contain many dangerous substances such as antifreeze, formaldehyde and phenol.

Many vaccines also use immune adjuvants, which trigger your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the virus you’re being vaccinated against.

Adjutants hasten your immune system’s response to the immunization, which means a lesser amount of vaccine required per dose and a smaller number of doses given per patient.

Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns and, more money for Big Pharma.

The government has contracted several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines, and at least two of these companies – Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline – are using squalene as the adjuvant in their respective versions of the H1N1 vaccine.

The Dangers of Squalene in Vaccines

Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body, as it is found throughout your nervous system and brain, Dr. Mercola explains. You can consume squalene through foods like olive oil to experience its antioxidant properties.

However, squalene can quickly turn into something harmful, depending on its route of entry. When squalene is injected via a vaccine, it triggers your immune system to attack all of the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.

This means your immune response will try to wipe out all squalene molecules, including in places where it naturally occurs in your body and is vital to your nervous system.

Novartis’ squalene adjuvant for its h1n1 vaccine is known as MF59, an unapproved adjuvant used in experimental anthrax vaccines for soldiers who served in the Gulf War. This form of squalene has been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by Gulf War veterans known as the Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).

Documented GWS symptoms due to squalene adjuvant include arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.

A study published in 2000 revealed that 95 percent of deployed soldiers suffering from GWS symptoms had antibodies to squalene and 100 percent of GWS patients given anthrax vaccine shots, while NONE of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans who did not show signs and symptoms of GWS had antibodies to squalene.

Even the World Health Organization has opposed the fast-tracking of the swine flu vaccine. “One of the things which cannot be compromised is the safety of vaccines,” WHO chief Dr. Keiji Fukuda said.

Would you allow yourself and your child to become Big Pharma’s guinea pigs this fall for this untested and potentially dangerous vaccine?

The information you’ve just read may go against your understanding of the nature of vaccines. As a parent and as a health conscious individual, it’s your responsibility to know the facts, and not just rely on your doctor or the media.

The International Vaccine Conference, the single best conference on vaccines in the world, will be held on October 2 to 4 at Reston, Virginia. This important event is held every five years and features the most knowledgeable experts, who will tackle the most pressing and timely issues concerning vaccines.

Do consider attending. Think of it as an investment for your child’s health and the health of future generations
