Also of interest is the idea expressed at the end of the article on the Gulf War Syndrome,

All vaccines cause a temporary weakening of the immune system as they 'kick in,' including the common flu vaccine. This effect lasts from about 7-14 days. If you combine a mishmash of powerful and, let's face it, largely unproven vaccines, along with an anti-nerve gas agent, you will be dealing a formidable temporary blow to your natural immune system. Because the immune system is responsible not just for warding off viruses and bacteria, but for confronting all other sorts of foreign 'invaders' including irritants such as toxic particles in the air, chemical sprays (bug spray, sun screen, etc.), a slammed immune system (ask any AIDS patient) can leave you wide open to all sorts of nasty stuff, from skin lesions to tumors. So, I believe the cocktail was a secondary agent of damage -primary elements of the soldiers' immune systems were knocked out, then assaulted by carcinogens, irritants, and other elements that ordinarily could have been resisted, as they were by most troops who did not receive the vaccines. This would also explain why the symptoms of the Syndrome are so diverse. It all depended on what you happened to get exposed to out in the field following the cocktail and how, specifically, your immune system responded to the assault on it by the vaccine cocktail.
