Animal Products In Vaccines

[lankeela]

Does the use of animal products in producing vaccines mean that people of certain beliefs or religions will refuse the Covid vaccine? Or will the vegans etc be queuing up to get theirs with the rest of us?

first I've heard of it, what animal products are used? Link?

It was on the news last night stating that no pork or beef products are used the making of the vaccine.

Vegans can have the jags,

Aye. The BBC site was debunking the myth yesterday. Report probably still there.

There aren’t any animal products. The Vegans’ objections are that vaccines ‘aren’t natural’ but this study shows that, actually, they are:

And vegetarians can have the BMWs :-) :-)

Quite honestly, even if the vaccine did contain animal products, if they don't want it, they don't want it. It demonstrates to me what I've always thought - but I won't get bogged down in that here.

"Based on all the arguments given above, that revolve around the “as far as is possible and practicable” section of the definition of veganism, we think the Covid-19 vaccines ARE vegan. This is despite them having been tested on animals. And all Covid-19 vaccines will have been tested on animals at some point during their development, almost always before they are tested on human volunteers. This includes the Pfizer and BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine that was the first to give real hope to the world. As well as the Moderna vaccine and indeed the Oxford Covid-19 Vaccine, which uses chimpanzee adenoviral vectors"

Given the choice I wouldnt have a vaccine that had been tested on animals, or one that contained animal products, but I dont have a choice unless I want to remian unvaccinated, which I dont.

yeah madonny told me
and as you know she is the FOUNTAIN of truth
that it contains both beef and pork - and the popes refused it

so that really leaves english protestants.....
