A seemingly logical defense for using squalene is that squalene can be safely eaten. You can swallow it and not have a problem. Like hot sauce, eating it is one thing, but injecting it can lead to an entirely different response. The amount was very tiny, but as is the same with many other injectables, when you start counting molecules, even a tiny amount contains millions of invading molecules. Squalene is a powerful immune system stimulant; it doesn’t take much. The information that squalene was safe enough to eat or be rubbed on the skin, lead researchers to decide that injecting it would be an acceptable risk given the circumstances of imminent warfare.
To avoid political problems, the vaccination program was kept quiet. Most soldiers did not know, or probably much care, what this next shot contained. Until they started getting ill. Soldiers were under orders to take the shot, coded as Vaccine A, and could not refuse at the risk of dishonorable discharge. They were not told what the vaccine was, often it was not recorded on their shot record, or their record was ‘lost’ by the establishment. Then soldiers in specific base locations started getting sick. Some had been to war, others had not. Some were able to document that they had been given Vaccine A, with the magic immune system booster squalene. Symptoms of an immune system consuming itself appeared and the CDC recognized Gulf War Syndrome.
