A newly published study appears to refute the connection between the presence of anti-squalene antibodies and Gulf War Syndrome, but is it convincing?

In a recent diary sponsored by Cotton Top the issue of what stood in the way of developing a new flu vaccine was raised. There are a number of issues that will regrettably prevent the world from being saved by the technology and resources that already exist today. This is of course a terrible irony that will be looked back upon by historians of the future as one of the greatest crimes against humanity ever committed by mankind. I agree. This crime will be not just one of the worst, it is the worst and the perpetrators of this holocaust are those who lead us today. They will be seen by the survivors of the pandemic, and there will be many, as we see Hitler and Stalin. We are witnessing a slow motion catastrophe that will, in the end, result in the preventable deaths of up to half the worlds current population. Only a fraction of these deaths, 400 million give or take a few million, will die from the flu. The vast majority will simply starve to death and a few hundred million will die from civil strife, wars between nations and revolutions that will surely accompany the pandemic aftermath and the world economic collapse it will cause.
Yes, I see the world changing in ways that will be totally unlike anything we have now. History will look back at the ante-pandemic times we live in as the "world's golden era". We citizens of today will be viewed with hatred and envy by the decedents of the pandemic's survivors. Why, well it is simply this. If we wanted to we could have prevented this catastrophe for about the cost of a few months being spent today by the US in Iraq. That will be a shocking truth that everyone will know. Our generation will be rightly condemned as the most irresponsible, self centered, and short sighted of all time.

UPDATE: Novartis has finally confirmed what we suspected. A review published by the company Safety of MF59™ adjuvant (Schultze 2008) states:
the results of Novartis' GLP toxicology studies performed to fulfil global health authority requirements for clinical testing or product approvals have not been published, to date.

Reading the fine print, on the safety profile of adjuvanted flu vaccines.
The equivalent of "read the fine print" for a scientific paper is "read the data". The interpretation of the data can be skewed by an author to support a larger agenda Or an author can make mistakes.

The debate on the safety of oil-in-water adjuvants has received renewed attention on flublogia after the revelation and concern that tptb might be considering adding adjuvants such as MF59 to prepandemic vaccines. There appears to be a fair amount of misunderstanding or confusion on this subject, and concerns whether all of this is nothing more than internet conspiracy rumor, so I thought this might be a good time to re-visit the issue.

The world of science is a strange place. You would have thought that different people working on the same substance, one group set on figuring out how to use it, the other trying to find out how it harms people, will at least have heard of each other and hopefully talked to each other from time to time. Apparently, that doesn't happen, not in ways that you can take for granted anyhow.
