“Developers of the COVID-19 vaccine need an oil commonly found in sharks — which puts the lives of more than half a million sharks at risk. Researchers need an oil called ‘squalene’ to make several COVID-19 vaccines. Squalene is common found in shark livers.
The ingredient often helps create a strong immune response.
For example, the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline uses shark squalene in their flu vaccines.
The company told Sky News that it might need close to 1 billion doses of the adjuvant for the coronavirus vaccine”.

Squalene is a naturally occurring 30-carbon long-chain hydrocarbon present in a variety of marine animals, plants, and microorganisms, often as a component of lipids.
Squalene is typically sourced from commercial shark fisheries, and some estimates suggest that up to 10-20 million sharks may be killed in the making of these vaccines.
Researchers need an oil called ‘squalene’ to make several COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, Conservation groups are working hard to develop an alternative source of squalene, derived from vegetable oils, to reduce or avoid the deaths of these animals.
But how about protecting human lives!
When squalene is used as an adjuvant, it helps to enhance the body’s immune response to the vaccine and assist in the development of a robust and lasting immune response.
Squalene is thought to stimulate the body’s production of antibodies—the proteins that help the body fight infection. In the case of COVID-19 vaccines, the adjuvant is used to help the body develop a strong and lasting protection against the virus.
Squalene has been used as an adjuvant in several other vaccines, including the flu vaccine and meningococcal vaccines.
Squalene can be lethal, since it has been linked to some potential adverse effects such as skin irritation and allergic reactions as well in some people.
Additionally, squalene found in shark liver oil has been found to contain small amounts of toxins such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals.
High exposure of these toxins could be harmful. Therefore, caution should be taken when using anything containing squalene.
In humans, it is found in higher concentrations in the skin, organs, and reproductive fluids.
While squalene is generally regarded as an inert substance, studies have shown that it can be potentially toxic under certain conditions.
Animal studies have demonstrated that when squalene is administered orally or parenterally, it can cause tissue inflammation and damage to the kidneys, liver, and heart—resulting in mortality.
It has also been found to be immuno-modulatory and can interact with certain drugs and the environment.
In humans, studies suggest that long-term exposure to squalene may increase the risk of cancer in some susceptible individuals.
Additionally, squalene has been found to interfere with the effectiveness of some drugs and its chronic exposure has been linked to skin irritation, such as contact dermatitis.
Overall, squalene’s potential toxicity and systemic effects should be taken into consideration when used on the skin or in products intended for internal use or in COVID-19 vaccines.
Injecting toxics is anti-health
I much prefer well known and established health enhancements
Like salt, zinc, vitC, vit D
Good water
Good food
Good sleep
Good hydration
Good conversation
