It's "squalene" and the suspicions that squalene was somehow responsible for Gulf War Syndrome was a bit sketchy when first documented and have since been refuted.

We examined the relationship between squalene antibodies and chronic symptoms reported by Navy construction workers (Seabees), n=579. 30.2% were deployers, 7.4% were defined as ill, and 43.5% were positive for squalene antibodies. We found no association between squalene antibody status and chronic multisymptom illness (p=0.465). The etiology of Gulf War syndrome remains unknown, but should not include squalene antibody status.

Squalene is likely more common than you think. It's produced in your own body and is commonly used in flu and malaria vaccines and also, interestingly, in cosmetics as a moisturizer.
I'll bet, say, 15 euros that the flu vaccine is not made in order to kill massive amounts of people. Anyone wanna bet against me?
