Waiting for a vaccine in a world that can no longer wait.. But at what cost?
What if all it took was a shot in the arm for everything to return to normal? According to the latest reports, waiting for a vaccine is a poor, poor exit strategy

Waiting for a vaccine in a world that can't wait.. But at what cost?
According to a new study, there is a natural oil present in the liver of Sharks called "squalene" that is being considered for use in Covid-19 vaccines 🦈.
The Catch: The oil comes at the expense of mass murder. Conservationists warn that around half a million sharks need to be slaughtered to create an effective vaccine for all.
Key Takeaways from the Weather Channel Report:
💡For every tonne of squalene-> around 3,000 sharks need to be killed
💡While squalene is also found in the livers of other animals, sharks remain the primary source
💡Big Pharma Giant GlaxoSmithKline has already been using shark squalene to make Flu vaccines
💡The "Gulper Shark" and the "Basking Shark" are especially rich in this oil
💡Protest groups have emphasized on the use of synthetic alternatives
Our thoughts💡: It's funny how people will happily slaughter chicken, pigs, cows, fish like salmon, tuna etc to hit Nobu for that California Roll (extra ginger & wasabi, ofc) but then protest against killing sharks.
Killing a species that's already vulnerable in an increasingly fragile marine ecosystem = Disaster.
The more we encroach on nature, the more chance of catching viruses. Have we learnt nothing this year?
