Squalene—Is New Vaccine Additive the Worst Yet?

Squalene—Is New Vaccine Additive the Worst Yet?

Cover your arms, because a new and even worse vaccination assault may be upon Americans. Already approved to assault Europeans, an adjuvant—vaccine additive to increase its effect—called squalene is being added to boost the activity of the newer, weaker vaccines being developed because...well, that's interesting, isn't it? Why produce attenuated vaccines if the older varieties weren't dangerous? Hmmm...that's a question we're probably not supposed to ask. So, let's just just ignore it.

Squalene is a natural chemical. Your body needs it to function properly; your body even produces it. It's commonly purchased in health food stores as shark oil. That, of course, is how it's justified. However, a detail that's ignored is the crucial point. Ingesting squalene by eating it does not compare with bypassing the alimentary tract and injecting it directly into your tissues. Take, for example, stomach acid. It's very strong hydrochloric acid, and we can't live without it. But you wouldn't want anyone to inject it into your arm, would you?

Squalene enhances the immune system. It's thought that adding it to vaccines will help boost their effectiveness. At first glance, it sounds good and even seems to make sense. However, squalene has a history.

It should be noted that there is research that purports to document no connection between squalene and antibody responses. Note first that the study in question(1)limits itself to only two of the five types of antibodies. More egregiously, note that the study was not only financed by Novartis Vaccines, which makes the adjuvant squalene-containing adjuvant, but the author is employed by them.Squalene's Effects and the Anthrax Vaccine
It's been tested to see what happens when injected into animals. The results are, quite frankly, ugly. In many tests, mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs have been injected with squalene. It has caused pathogenic cells in lymph nodes, and rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and other autoimmune diseases.

Gulf War Syndrome has devastated the lives of many victims. Though not definitive, since depleted uranium has also been implicated, the experience of the affected soldiers led them to believe that it was the result of anthrax vaccinations. Health problems they've suffered have included lymphadenopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, nervous system injuries, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, malar rashes (typically seen in lupus), skin lesions that don't heal, memory loss, seizures, Sjögren's syndrome, Raynaud's disease, chronic headaches, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions.
