A microbiologist who proposed that squalene, an illegal adjuvant, was found in some veterans’ blood systems. Twice when Cliburn opened his GWI files, he said a virus destroyed his files. It happened once again when he opened another file. He feels the destruction of his files by a virus is not an accident.
“There are thousands of veterans who like me, were vaccinated but not deployed and many thousands more who were deployed to the SW Asia area like Navy or Air Force veterans who never actually put their boots inside Iraq but did receive the vaccinations,” Cliburn noted. “For veterans who are in my situation, there is zero chance of any VA compensation. I lost two careers and do not receive a penny for GWI compensation.”
Nearly a decade ago, squalene was supposed to be the experimental anthrax vaccine ingredient that caused the onset of Persian Gulf War syndrome in many veterans, since antibodies to squalene were detected in the blood of most patients affected by this syndrome.
