Squalene From Sharks

National Geographic is making note that,” Vaccines being made to protect people from swine flu may not be so healthy for threatened species of sharks.   That’s because millions of doses of the pandemic H1N1/09 vaccine contain a substance called squalene, which is extracted from shark livers. via http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/12/091229-sharks-liver-oil-swine-flu-vaccine.html

Worrying more about shark extinction than cross mutations of animal dna into humans, Nat Geo says, “”There are several very disturbing issues associated with use of shark-liver-oil squalene,” said Mary O’Malley, co-founder of the volunteer-run advocacy group Shark Safe Network.  “The deepwater sharks targeted have extremely low reproductive rates, and many are threatened species.” (sic http://www.sharksafenetwork.com/ )

The drug company (sic, GlaxoSmithKlein)  is currently looking at non-animal squalene sources, including olive oil.  But at the moment, she said, “we are unable to find an alternative of high enough grade.”

Thankfully, vaccines containing squalene have not yet been approved for use in the U.S., even though they are being distributed world wide.   Whether being attacked by a shark or injected with some of it’s squalene, the concern is more for the animal than the human being. 

Shark attacks do occur but here’s the stats on your chances of being bit from them are really pretty small, http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/statistics/beachattacks.htm 

I’ve swam undisturbed with black tip sharks and other carnivores and would do so again before taking my chances with being injected with squalene.  We are not experts on inter-species transmissions of viruses be we do know they occur as evidenced by the recent pandemics.  

Optaflu®  is the first influenza vaccine made in a mammalian (DOG) cell line, rather than chicken eggs.  https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/h1n1-swine-flu-vaccine-grown-in-dog-cells/  Drug manufacturers are likely using cells infected with cancer, growing them in chickens, culturing them in pigs, monkeys, dogs, even plants, and then encouraging you to, “Just get your damned vaccine.”  http://www.infowars.com/just-get-your-damn-vaccine/ said. 

There is something called a Shark Virus that attacks computers and if you need help with that ck out http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_1083.htm. 

Ironically enough:

Sharks are blessed with a very simple immune system, which allows them to fight infection and disease far better than humans. The immune system of sharks is being researched and studies to determine why it is that sharks appear to be immune to most diseases. It is not true that they are immune to all, but they do have an amazing immune that fights it off in a manner that surpasses the human ability to ward off infection and disease. The major difference between the immune system of a shark and a human is that sharks have two accessory immunological structures that humans do not possess. They are the epigonal organ and the Leydig’s organ. The epigonal organ is located beneath the kidneys, and the Leydig’s organ in within the esophagus. These organs are only found in sharks, making these sea creatures even more unique. Studies have concluded that the epigonal organ is where T-cells are differentiated, playing a huge role in the immune system of the shark. via http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/427504/is_the_shark_immune_to_all_diseases.html

Is being injected by squalene a reason for the possibility of an increased immune capacity against H1N1 and other known viruses?    Squalene seems to stimulate the immune system nonspecifically. Yet: 

Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just 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, according to award-winning investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto, who explains there is a “close match between the squalene-induced diseases in animals and those observed in humans injected with this oil: rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.” via http://blogs.healthfreedomalliance.org/blog/2009/08/06/more-on-the-adjuvant-squalene/

Should we turn to shark fin soup?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_fin_soup Oh it is so tasty, but nasty to kill only for the dorsal fin and not use the rest of the animal as a food source, and it is so wrong the methods used to harvest them. [ OMG, a little environmentalism shines through] Shark fin soup may cause sterility in men due to mercury content and because of its high mercury level, the FDA recommends pregnant women and young children avoid eating shark fins.  It is apparently okay for some nations and most likely, eventually the U.S. to inject you with shark squalene- targeting women and children first for vaccines of course. Can you spell infertility?

In this frigid, climate change bullshit that is going on while we sit with snow covered ground and freezing temps, we can’t help but think of warmer weather and Jimmy Buffett- 

Fins to the Left

Can’t you feel ’em circlin’, honey
Can’t you feel ’em swimmin’ around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you’re the only bait in town
Oh oh
Oh oh
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you’re the only girl in town.

The circle of science isn’t so scientific as a good Margarita or a cold Land Shark®  or Corona®  beer by the beach…take your chances in the water and with a squalene vaccine.
