FLU SHOTS AND THE NEW ADJUVANTS: BEWARE! by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO
[NVIC] NIH Wants Toxic Adjuvant in Flu Vaccine (MF59)
Quotes
MF59TM is a sub-micron oil-in-water emulsion of a squalene,
polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (TweenTM 80)
and sorbitan trioleate. Squalene is a natural organic compound originally
obtained from shark liver oil and a biochemical precursor to steroids. The MF59
adjuvant was developed by Chiron Corp., a company acquired by Novartis. MF59 is
approved in Europe and is found in several vaccines, such as an influenza
vaccine manufactured by Novartis. It has also been licensed to other companies
and is being actively tested in vaccine trials.

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!

"Tri-Mix" or "Triple Mix" was the U.S. Army designation in the
late 1980s for the squalene emulsion adjuvant now sold by Corixa under the
commercial name Ribi Adjuvant System or RAS. Scientists at Fort Detrick began
working with this emulsion "vehicle" in 1987 (NIH scientists had been working
with squalene emulsions since the late 1970s). As I report in Chapter Three of
my book, by 1989 - a year before Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm -
Army scientists believed they had succeeded in creating a new, faster-acting
anthrax vaccine that induced the same amount of immunity in guinea pigs with one
shot of the new vaccine as did three shots of the licensed vaccine.
The new vaccine was formulated with
Tri-Mix adjuvant as well as De-Tox and Syntex Adjuvant Formula I (which were
emulsified in either squalene or its more stable, hydrogenated form, squalane).
The chief pharmaceutical ingredient in the new vaccine was a more highly
purified protective antigen (PA) protein, or fragments or "sub-units" of PA. In
parallel research, Fort Detrick also constructed various "chimeras" - genetic
engineered hybrid microbes that would biosynthesize protective antigen without
any trace of the other two anthrax toxin proteins.
Theoretically, this would make the
new vaccine less "reactogenic" (less likely to induce unpleasant side effects),
but it also made it weaker. Previous data from military scientists in both the
United States and Britain had already shown that the immune system responded to
a wide array of Bacillus anthracis components: all three toxin proteins (PA, LF
and EF), to structures called "epitopes" found on the anthrax capsule, the
surface of anthrax vegetative cells and the surface of spores.
By design, all of these epitopes
were missing from the new vaccine, which was less reactogenic but, predictably,
less immunogenic. It required a new and more powerful adjuvant: one of the new
generation oil emulsions. Around 1994, Fort Detrick concluded that the non-spore
forming Delta Sterne variant of Bacillus anthracis made the most efficient
platform for making recombinant protective antigen, now called rPA102.
Protective antigen made from this
system was emulsified principally with MF59 - an adjuvant made from squalene in
water, but without a bacterial component. In 1998, the British scientists at the
Center for Applied Microbiological Research at Porton Down adopted the formula
for the U.S. "second generation" anthrax vaccine, but added the Ribi Adjuvant
System (the old Triple-Mix adjuvant) instead of MF59. According to relatively
recent briefings given by Col Arthur Friedlander (U.S. Army, ret.) to senior
military officers, Fort Detrick has continued to study the effects of rPA102
when combined with Tri-Mix/RAS, Syntex Adjuvant Formula and MF59.
Army scientists are still testing
rPA102 with alum (the only vaccine adjuvant licensed in the U.S. for human use),
Walter Reed Liposomes (made with cholesterol, and sometimes with squalene and
monophosphoryl Lipid A), and QS-21. The NIH-approved clinical trials with rPA102
are with alum only. The anti-squalene antibodies in retired and active duty
military personnel are evidence that the Army has been acquiring safety and
efficacy data for the new vaccine, combined with squalene emulsion adjuvants, by
ethically dubious means. All this, and a lot more, is recounted in the book in
much greater detail. Please read the whole book, not just parts of it, to fully
understand the basis of the very serious charge that the Department of Defense
has been conducting covert medical experiments on troops to "fast track" its new
anthrax vaccine.
