Experimenting on Animals: Inside The Monkey Lab

The Ugly Truth About Coronavirus Vaccine Testing

Biomedical companies around the world are now short of research monkeys 2020/2021

Monkeys infected with Covid-19 cannot be returned to live among other healthy animals and must be eventually euthanized.

Large pharmaceutical companies like Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, need animals to develop their Covid-19 vaccines.

But there is now a global shortage, resulting from the unexpected demand caused by the pandemic.

As new variants of the coronavirus threaten to make the current batch of vaccines obsolete, scientists are racing to find new sources of monkeys

Before the pandemic, China provided over 60 percent of the 33,818 primates, mostly cynomolgus macaques, imported into the United States in 2019, according to analyst estimates based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Scientists say monkeys are the ideal specimens for researching coronavirus vaccines before they are tested on humans. The primates share more than 90 percent of our DNA, and their similar biology means they can be tested with nasal swabs and have their lungs scanned. Scientists say it is almost impossible to find a substitute to test Covid-19 vaccines in

Animal rights activists have long accused centers of abuse, including separating babies from their mothers.

In 1978, India halted its exports after the Indian press reported that the monkeys were being used in military testing in the United States.

Monkey's have doubled in price in the last year to well over $10,000

People are refusing to take the vaccine after what has been done to so many defenceless animals, with monkeys that spend their whole lives restrained in laboratories, with scientists hurting them to see what happens? as well as various other animals used in experimentation.

There is convincing evidence that most epidemics and pandemics, including Covid-19, have actually been caused by humans “playing god” and exploiting animals.

Playing god with viruses? animal experimentation shortage? Perhaps that had part to play in the early rollout of the experimental covid-19 vaccines, that of course have never been tested in human's before and the animal studies performed have shown not to yield good results!

Sad!
