Another well-worn myth in the world of vaccines concerns the safety of a substance called squalene (pronounced squay-leen). Sciguybm writes, “Squalene makes thimerosal look tame.”

First and foremost, there is no reason to worry about squalene because it simply is not present in vaccines in the US. According to Patricia El-Hinnawy, a spokesperson for the US Food and Drug Administration: “There is no squalene in any FDA-approved vaccine in the US. There is no squalene in any kind of seasonal flu vaccine or in the H1N1 vaccine.”

So, now that we know that, what exactly is squalene? It’s a naturally occurring organic compound that’s made in the livers of animals (including humans) and in plants. It circulates in our bloodstream. The squalene added to food, cosmetics, and health supplements is generally derived from shark liver oil. What’s more, the American Cancer Society reports that recent studies have found the substance decreased the spread of cancerous lung tumors in laboratory animals.

In Europe squalene is added to flu vaccines in an emulsified form known as an adjuvant, a substance added to vaccines to improve their efficacy and boost immune system response. An adjuvant like squalene can be used to stretch the availability of a vaccine, since adjuvant-supplemented vaccines are more effective and can thus be given in smaller doses. Before developing the H1N1 vaccine, the US government purchased oil-in-water bulk adjuvant from GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis in the event that the H1N1 virus mutates and becomes more dangerous. An adjuvant could, under that circumstance, boost the vaccine’s effectiveness and help stretch its supply.

While the government has an adjuvant on hand, at the moment there are no plans to use it. “Based on the current flu we’re seeing, we have no intention of using it,” says Gretchen Michael, a spokesperson at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “We made our initial vaccine order not knowing what the epidemic was going to look like. If the virus does change and there’s a need, we’re not ruling anything out.”

Even if that happens, there is still no cause for concern about squalene’s safety. Since 1997, tens of millions of doses of Fluad, the European vaccine that contains squalene, have been administered safely to patients in Germany and Italy.

So why the fuss? Some have suggested that squalene allegedly present in the anthrax vaccine given to military personnel could have caused Gulf War Syndrome. But that turned out to be impossible, according to several studies conducted by the FDA and other researchers. That’s because squalene was never added to the anthrax vaccine in the first place. Get this: The military determined that the trace amounts of squalene found in the anthrax vaccine didn’t come from the vaccine at all. Instead, it likely came from the oil of a fingerprint not cleaned from lab glassware.

“There is no squalene in any FDA-approved vaccine in the US."

Well, that's not true because the recently FDA approved HPV vaccine has it.

Also, the US Government purchased about 400 Billion dollars worth of adjuvant in case they needed it at some point.  You really think they are going to let that go to waste?

Rat models are useful for studies of the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) since rats are extraordinarily sensitive to induction of arthritis with adjuvants. Injection of not only the classical complete Freund's adjuvant but also mineral oil without mycobacteria and pure adjuvants such as pristane and squalene, induce severe arthritis in many rat strains. Models like pristane-induced arthritis in rats are optimal models for RA since they fulfill the RA criteria including a chronic relapsing disease course. Arthritogenic adjuvants like pristane, avridine, squalene and mineral oil are not immunogenic since they do not contain major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binding peptides. Nevertheless, the diseases are MHC-associated and dependent on the activation of alphabetaTCR (T-cell receptor)-expressing T cells. However, it has not been possible to link the immune response to joint antigens or other endogenous components although immunization with various cartilage proteins induce arthritis but with different pathogeneses. To unravel the mechanisms behind adjuvant-induced arthritis, a disease-oriented genetic approach is optimal. Several loci that control onset of arthritis, severity and chronicity of the disease have been identified in genetic crosses and most of these have been confirmed in congenic strains. In addition, many of these loci are found in other autoimmune models in the rat as well as associated with arthritis in mice and humans.

GULF WAR CORRELATION (from above link)
In science, a correlation does not prove causation. A correlation, however, is grounds to investigate causation, which has led to some troubling data.
After the first Gulf War, many U.S. and British military personnel said they became sick after receiving anthrax immunizations. Scientists at Tulane University Medical School developed an assay showing a correlation between illness and antibodies to squalene. Although this data did not prove conclusively that Gulf War troops were injected with squalene, the data indicated that injection was the only way to develop these antibodies; the implication being that troops had been injected with a squalene-based adjuvant. This coincided with the fact that at the time, U.S. Army scientists had developed several new and theoretically improved anthrax vaccines that provided more immunity than the licensed vaccine; and did so in less time and with fewer shots. All these new anthrax vaccines contained squalene. I interviewed dozens of Gulf War veterans whose mysterious undiagnosable illnesses were later diagnosed by civilian physicians as autoimmune. Of the sick Gulf War veterans tested by Tulane's scientists, 95% had antibodies to squalene. Tulane's data showed another correlation, and this one concerned them even more. Veterans who never deployed to the Gulf had developed chronic and debilitating illnesses too - 100% of sick,non-deployed veterans tested by Tulane had anti-squalene antibodies. When Tulane tested healthy veterans, they found that 0% had the antibodies; that's zero percent. [2006] Formation of Cysts from Squalene Adjuvant?

AVIP
In 1998, active duty military personnel deploying to an AOR (Area of Responsibility), which included Saudi Arabia and South Korea, were injected with anthrax vaccine. Many personnel reported sickness after their immunizations, which were later determined by FDA testing to contain trace quantities of squalene. The Department of Defense and the FDA stated that these quantities were too small to harm anyone and that the nanogram quantities of squalene in the vaccine probably came from the eggs in which germs for vaccines are grown. There was a problem with this explanation. Viruses are grown in eggs; bacteria are not. Anthrax is a bacteria. Then the DOD and FDA suggested the squalene came from the bacteria itself. However, scientists had analyzed Bacillus anthracis and proven that it does not produce squalene. DOD then offered a third explanation: the oils in human skin contain squalene; someone's hands must've contaminated the vaccine. The problem with that explanation was that vaccine workers wear gloves and hats and booties. The other problem is that oil and water don't mix. Nevertheless, trace quantities of squalene had been emulsified in millions of vaccine doses. It wasn't found smeared on the exterior of glass ware. It was in the vaccine. Special detergents must be added to an oil to break it down sufficiently to mix it with water. What DOD and the FDA left out of their explanations was this. In 1998, the DOD, FDA and NIH formed a Special Working Group to accelerate the development of the Army's new anthrax vaccine containing squalene. Also that year, NIH scientists published data, which indicated, they said, that animals can become "tolerized" to squalene with micro-dosages. Coincidentally, nanogram doses of squalene, parts per billion, appeared in the military's anthrax vaccine supply that same year, in 1998. [2006] Formation of Cysts from Squalene Adjuvant?

CYSTS
Military personnel injected with anthrax vaccine containing squalene have been reporting that they developed cysts, appearing all over their bodies. Among the first to report this were Air Force personnel at Dover Air Force Based in Delaware, which had received at least four lots of anthrax vaccine containing squalene. One fellow developed cysts all over his body, including his pericardium. Another fellow developed them on his spinal cord. These cysts were similar to those in British civilians injected with the flu vaccine containing mineral oil, because they were "sterile" - they were not associated with viral or bacterial infection. [2006] Formation of Cysts from Squalene Adjuvant?

TWO LAST CORRELATIONS
Department of Defense and Health and Human Services regulations permit the administration of experimental drugs and vaccines to U.S. military personnel without informed consent. In contravention of the principles memorialized in the Nuremberg Code, the administration of Invesigational New Drugs (INDs) can be done covertly, in clinical trials that are classified. This is stated in unclassified documents issued by the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services. [2006] Formation of Cysts from Squalene Adjuvant?

Since the early 1950s, U.S. military scientists - working in cooperation with scientists with the NIH, FDA, and U.S. Public Health Service - have been testing cyst-producing oil-based vaccine adjuvants on U.S. military personnel. [2006] Formation of Cysts from Squalene Adjuvant?

I discuss the British findings, briefly, in Chapter Twelve, pg 250. A highly regarded British laboratory, Scientific Analyses Ltd. (SAL Ltd.) in Manchester, tested samples of British-made anthrax vaccine for the Granada Television network and found a thirty-six parts per billion concentration of squalene in two lots of the British vaccine. That is a fairly close match for the concentration found in one of the five lots confirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to contain squalene. Lot #FAV 043, according to the FDA, contained forty parts per billion. What is also noteworthy is the specific test used by SAL Ltd. to detect squalene in anthrax vaccine: flame ionization/gas chromatography. This is the same test used by the FDA. Interestingly, a laboratory the U.S. Army sub-contracted to test the vaccine, SRI, used a much less sensitive analysis called liquid chromatography, which would have been incapable of finding squalene in the concentrations present in either the U.S. or British anthrax vaccines. SRI has a long business association with the Department of Defense and an unanswered question is whether SRI deliberately chose to use a test that would invariably fail to find low concentrations squalene in the vaccine and thus allow the U.S. Department of Defense to declare its anthrax vaccine squalene-free, which it did. Gary Matsumoto http://www.vaccine-a.com/forum.html

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, which is part of the United Nations, scientists from the organization are developing vaccines specifically to damage fertility as a method of contraception. A suggested ingredient for the vaccine is tween 80 (polysorbate 80): “In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin in squalene oil. The aqueous solution glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80.” (Fertility Impairing Vaccine And Methods of Use’ This application claims the benefit of U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/070,375, filed January 2,1998, U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/071,406, filed January 15,1998.) Exploring Vaccines

Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers and Why GIs Are Only the First Victims By Gary Matsumoto
1.   Many new vaccines feature recombinant DNA. One piece of a deadly germ is inserted or spliced into other organisms, creating bio-engineered microbial molecules. To prompt the body to create antibodies to these recombinants, scientists have created deadly oil-based vaccine additives called adjuvants. Oil-based adjuvants cause extreme inflammation and animals injected with them always develop painful, incurable auto-immune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus.

2.   Since Gulf War I, the military has been secretly putting an oil-based adjuvant called SQUALENE into certain experimental lots of military vaccines. Just like lab animals, thousands of soldiers given SQUALENE- laced vaccines have developed disabling auto-immune diseases. Independent researchers have found SQUALENE antibodies in these sick soldiers. In 2005, the military admitted that 1,200 military personnel who received anthrax vaccine before going to Iraq recently developed serious illnesses, including memory loss and chronic fatigue.

3.  The military and federal health agencies have long kept their SQUALENE experiments on U.S. military troops secret because they know that oil-based adjuvants wreak havoc with immune function, causing the body to attack itself. Matsumoto documents how federal and military officials have often been caught lying about the SQUALENE in military vaccines.

4.  Matsumoto warns that the National Institutes of Health has funded production of new vaccines for flu, human papilloma virus, malaria, HIV and herpes that also contain SQUALENE. The federal government has been running human clinical tests on these new commercial vaccines and test subjects have not been properly informed of the grave health dangers. Researchers have even found SQUALENE in some of the older vaccines containing tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. Should we wonder why auto-immune diseases like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are now rampant?

5.    The Bush administration is funding development of new bio-warfare vaccines that will also contain oil- based SQUALENE adjuvants like MF59 or MPL. Because federal officials know that these vaccines may cause disability or death, legislation to protect vaccine makers from lawsuits is expected to be passed by Congress before the end of 2005.* If you become chronically ill from these vaccines, tough luck!  Exploring Vaccines

…Our demonstration that an autoadjuvant can trigger chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation may give clues to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, and it raises new questions concerning the role of endogenous molecules with adjuvant properties in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Concerns about H1N1 vaccine safety snowball in Germany
http://beta.thehindu.com/health/article38117.ece
R. Prasad  AP CHENNAI, October 24, 2009

The German Medical Association has now advised against giving the adjuvant vaccine to children and pregnant women.

Concerns about the safety of H1N1 vaccine in Germany has snowballed and appears to derail the vaccination programme.


Only about 12 per cent of people have expressed their willingness to be vaccinated and another 19 per cent have indicated that they would probably have the vaccine.

The controversy is about the use of adjuvant in H1N1 vaccine. Adjuvant is a substance that is added to the vaccine to improve body’s response, and its use will reduce the amount of inactivated virus needed for an effective dose.

What started as concerns expressed by a few physicians about the safety of vaccine containing an adjuvant has now become a major issue.

[sze=20pt]Michael Kochen, President of the German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians was quoted as saying in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that “Pandemrix [H1N1 vaccine containing an adjuvant] has not been sufficiently tested to be declared safe for millions of people, especially small children and pregnant women.”

He has apparently told BMJ that he will not take the vaccine and has also advised other doctors not to take it.


Pandemrix is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.

But what made things worse was a report by Der Spiegel magazine that the Federal Interior Ministry had bought 2,00,000 doses of Celvapan, an adjuvant-free vaccine to be used by top government officials. Celvapen is manufactured by Baxter.

The Defence Ministry had later confirmed the procurement of Celvapen, and according to BMJ, it was intended for use by Bundeswehr soldiers and their families on foreign deployments or preparing for missions abroad.


The German Medical Association has now advised against giving the adjuvant vaccine to children and pregnant women.

However, the World Health Organisation recommends the use of an adjuvant as it would increase the number of people who can be vaccinated. The European Medicines Agency had cleared Pandemrix and Celvapen for H1N1 vaccination.

Pandemrix was also approved for use by Germany’s Paul Ehrlich Institute, which advises the government on vaccination matters. However, the Federal Vaccination Agency, another government body, has contradicted the institute and has advised against the use of vaccines containing adjuvant.

Wolf-Dieter Ludwig, Chairman of the German Medical Association’s Drug Commission had described the swine flu vaccination programme as a “scandal.” According to BMJ, Dr. Ludwig thinks that Pandemrix has not been adequately tested. However, he thinks the same about Baxter’s adjuvant-free H1N1 vaccine Celvapan, too. [He is the CHAIRMAN of the Medical Association’s Drug Commission for all of GERMANY and not one word about his EXPLOSIVE WARNING TO THE WORLD!]

GlaxoSmithKline in a press release dated October 23 announced that more than 150,000 people had received Pandemrix, as part of government initiated vaccination programmes across Europe. Additionally, over 2,000 people have received Pandemrix in clinical trials which are ongoing. The company has not raised any safety concerns about its product.

Squalene is much safer to eat then it is to inject. It is a naturally acuring protein, but it interacts far differently in the body when it is straight injected into the blood, then it does when consumed and the stomach has a chance to break it down first.
