Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed

 

By Dr. Mercola

According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health

and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine

flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.

This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely

high risk.

In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister

Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than

regular seasonal flu. " Most people, including children, will experience very

mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention, " she said.[ii]

Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be

fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular

influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus,

compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an

average year in Australia.[iii]

“Cure the Disease, Kill the Patient”

Less than 100 children in the U.S. die each year from seasonal flu

viruses.[iv] If we use Australia’s math, a very rough estimate would be

another 100 children could potentially die of swine flu in the United States

in the coming year.

If children are the first target group in the U.S. per Sebelius, that means

we’re about to inject around 75 million children with a fast tracked vaccine

containing novel adjuvants, including dangerous squalene, to prevent perhaps

100 deaths.

I’m not overlooking the tragedy of the loss of even one child to an illness

like the H1N1 flu virus. But there can be no argument that unnecessary mass

injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant

known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless,

dangerous plan.

Why are Vaccinations Dangerous?

The presumed intent of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to

potentially harmful organisms that cause illness and disease. However, your

body’s immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms

which invade your body naturally.

Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes

of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract – not through

an injection.

These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune

system. It is a different system from the one activated when a vaccine is

injected into your body.

Your IgA immune system is your body’s first line of defense. Its job is to

fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even

eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system.

When a virus is injected into your body in a vaccine, and especially when

combined with an immune adjuvant like squalene, your IgA immune system is

bypassed and your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to

the vaccination.

Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to

nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to

your health.

And as if Vaccines Weren’t Dangerous Enough on Their Own …

… imagine them turbocharged.

The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that

have been attenuated (weakened and made less harmful).

Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including

ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even

antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin.

In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain

immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.

The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo

charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune

system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being

vaccinated against.

Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more

safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the

number of doses given per individual.

Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for

mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of

government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from

their vaccines.

Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines?

The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and

produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and

GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.

The adjuvant? Squalene.

According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine,

“A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies

Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing

adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of

viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired

vaccine quantities.”[v]

Novartis’s proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59.

Glaxo’s is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S.

vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries.

Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved

squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S.

What Squalene Does to Rats

Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate

concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi]

A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a

single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic,

immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid

arthritis.[vii]

The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of

adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.

What Squalene Does to Humans

Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your

body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can

consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize

it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.

The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it

enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your

immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine

adjuvant.

Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds

it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to

the health of your nervous system.[viii]

Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines

which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an

unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been

linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War

vets.[x]

The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was

indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian

Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as

participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).

However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP

product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS

patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product

and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing

squalene.

A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February

2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning

statistics:

“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had

antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in

Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and

symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.

In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing

signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with

idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum

antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum

antibodies to squalene.”[xi]

According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research

scientist for the government of Australia:

“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called

" Gulf War Syndrome, " documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.

The symptoms they developed included 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, anaemia, elevated

ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple

sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon,

Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii]

Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent

There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on

your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last

on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and

illnesses.

Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take

years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like

headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many

different illnesses and diseases.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for vaccine purveyors and proponents to look

seriously at the long-term health consequences of their vaccination

campaigns.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself and Your Family

Visit the National Vaccination Information Center (NVIC) site and join in

the fight against mandatory swine flu vaccinations.

Educate yourself about influenza strains, vaccination risks, and the public

health laws in your state that may require you or your children to undergo

either mandatory vaccination or quarantine.

Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the

flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these

guidelines:

Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an

immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system.

Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil.

Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at

its best for you.

Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of

seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you

fight infections of all kinds.

Get plenty of good quality sleep.

Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body

will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection.

Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure,

chemical-free soap.
