Syy myyntikieltoon: Squalene nimisellä aineella on ilmeisen suuri yhteys yhteys Persian lahden sodan syndroomaan, jossa noin 25% 697 000 terveelle aikuissotilaalle aiheutettiin huomattavan voimakkaita ja pitkäkestoisia ongelmia.i 

Juu, paitsi että

1) Persianlahden sotilaille annetussa rokotteessa ei edes ollut skvaleenia

2) Skvaleenin löytyminen sotilaista perustui huonoon testausmenettelyyn eikä myöhemmin tehdyissä kokeissa ole onnistuttu löytämään sotilaista enempää svaleenia kuin muistakaan.

3) Ihmiset itsessään tuottaa svaleenia ja sitä on esim. sormenpäiden ihossa, mikä aiheuttikin sen että tuo alkuperäinen "hälyttävä" testitulos saatiin.

here have been attempts to link squalene to Gulf War Syndrome mainly due to the idea that squalene might have been present in an anthrax vaccine given to some military personnel during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. One study found that deployed Persian Gulf War Syndrome patients are significantly more likely to have antibodies to squalene (95 percent) than asymptomatic Gulf War veterans (0 percent; p<.001);^[15] however, the study concludes with the following statement: "It is important to note that our laboratory-based investigations do not establish that squalene was added as adjuvant to any vaccine used in military or other personnel who served in the Persian Gulf War era." However, a committee of the US Institute of Medicine stated that "The committee does not regard this study as providing evidence that the investigators have successfully measured antibodies to squalene", since the authors did not perform the normal scientific controls needed show that their test was specific to anti-squalene antibodies.^[16] It has also been determined that the anthrax vaccines given to those US military personnel did not use squalene as an adjuvant.^[17][18][19] The vaccines were also tested for squalene, and none was detected with standard methods.^[20] A much more sensitive method was then developed, which again found no squalene in 37 of the 38 lots tested. One lot contained traces of squalene, at less than ten parts per billion, which is about 30-fold less than the level found in human blood.^[21] The FDA stated that this trace of squalene probably came from a fingerprint, since the oils on human skin contain enough squalene to send these extremely sensitive tests "off the chart".^[22]

A later study reported that about one in ten people have squalene antibodies in their blood, regardless of whether or not they received squalene from a vaccination.^[23] A later study confirmed this result, and also showed that vaccination with squalene-containing vaccines do not alter the levels of these naturally-occurring antibodies.^[17] A third study showed that these naturally-occurring antibodies were no more common in Gulf war veterans than in the general population.^[24]
