Why do some people think squalene in vaccines carries a risk?
A few people have tried to link the health problems of Gulf War veterans to the possible presence of squalene in the vaccines these soldiers received. One published report suggested that some veterans who received anthrax vaccines developed antisqualene antibodies and these antibodies caused disabilities. It is now known that squalene was not added to the vaccines administered to these veterans, and technical deficiencies in the report suggesting an association have been published.
