In Canada, the 2009 H1N1 vaccine being administered to the population is GlaxoSmithKline's Arepanrix H1N1 – also called the AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine – is a two-component vaccine consisting of an H1N1 immunizing antigen (as a suspension), and an AS03 adjuvant (as an oil-in-water emulsion).
What Is In the H1N1 Antigen?
An antigen is a substance that is capable of causing the production of an antibody within the human body. In the case of the swine flu vaccine, the antigen in the H1N1 influenza vaccine has been prepared from H1N1 virus grown in the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken's eggs. The virus used in the antigen component of the vaccine has been inactivated (or killed) with ultraviolet light, followed by being treated with formaldehyde and sodium deoxycholate.
In June 2004, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen, and sodium deoxycholate is considered hazardous, causing target organ damage, according to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
What Is In the H1N1 Adjuvant?
An adjuvant is a system that helps and enhances the pharmacological effect of a drug or increases the ability of an antigen to stimulate the immune system. The AS03 adjuvant system H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine consists of a sterile, homogenized emulsion of DL-α-tocopherol (Vitamin E), squalene and polysorbate 80. Vitamin E is benign enough, but what about polysorbate 80 and squalene?
Polysorbate 80
Polysorbate 80 is commonly used as an emulsifier in ice cream, cosmetics and vaccines. Unfortunately, according to the Material Safety Data Sheet provided by ScienceLab.com, Polysorbate 80 has been shown to cause adverse reproductive effects in females, cancer, and genetic mutation in animal testing.
What is Squalene?
The WHO describes squalene as a naturally occurring oil molecule found in plants and animals. In humans, squalene is manufactured by the liver and circulates throughout the bloodstream. For pharmaceutical products and vaccines, squalene is extracted from fish oil, and in particular, shark liver oil, and then purified.
In the article, "Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed" on the Whale website, Dr. Joseph Mercola describes the ramifications of squalene use in vaccines. Mercola explains that squalene is found throughout the nervous system and brain, and even delivers antioxidant benefits when consumed orally. He says that the difference between good and bad squalene is the route by which squalene enters the body; injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just that introduced with 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," he writes.
Dr. Mercola cites the opinion of 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."
Autoimmune disorder symptoms documented as Gulf War Syndrome 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.
Are Flu Vaccinations Dangerous?
So there is reason to believe that the constituents of the actual H1N1 vaccine are toxic, but what about the process of vaccination itself - that is, injecting vaccines and their disease-causing agents (dead or alive) directly into the body?
Dr. Mercola explains that the presumed intent of administering vaccines is to assist people in building immunity to potentially harmful, disease-causing pathogens. However, he insists that the human immune system is designed to develop immunity to organisms which invade the body naturally through the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, pulmonary system or digestive tract – not through an injection.
Mucous Membranes' IgA Immune System
The body's first line of defense against disease by pathogens is the IgA immune system, the mucous membranes' own immune system. The IgA immune system's job is to destroy invading bacteria, viruses and microorganisms at their typical entry points of the nose, mouth, pulmonary system or digestive tract, minimizing or eliminating the need for the body's immune system to activate. Mercola asserts that injecting a virus into the body via vaccine – bypassing the IgA immune system – causes the body's immune system to kick into high gear in response to the vaccine. He contends that vaccines, and especially turbo-charged vaccines (those made more potent with toxic additives and other adjuvants) can over-stimulate the immune system, leading to chronic autoimmune disorders.
Follow-up studies on vaccines are extremely short-term, at best, lasting on average about two weeks, whereas autoimmune disorders frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Long-term studies must be conducted in order to truly determine the efficacy and safety of vaccines.
