Eggs, peanuts, and crustaceans. I know eggs and peanuts are used in vaccines - do they used crustaceans as well, then?

squalene, an adjuvant-irritant is derived from sharks, there may be shellfish and horseshoe crab extracts but not positive about this, although they are used in other medical products.

Squalene is in human skin too, and sharks bare no relation to crustaceans, but crab would be relevant of course

Is there a bio similar protein in shellfish? Eggs and peanuts are better examples, since they are common components. Not all allergies are vaccine related, but far more than acknowledged.

Imagine they were too squeamish to extract squalene from human skin after the lampshade controversy, but sharks are a system critical, endangered species.
