The COVID Contradiction The petition tries to leverage COVID-19 fears to argue against primate research Before Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines were first administered in humans, they were extensively Studies in Nature  and Science  (1) document how primate research was essential for evaluating vaccine models—they needed vaccines developed using primate research. vaccine protects against SARS-CoV-2 in rhesus macaques ( Nature ) , BNT162b vaccines protect rhesus

a critical way to test for endotoxins, which signal bacterial contamination in insulin injections, vaccines (such as Covid-19 ) and many other medical interventions. If you’ve ever been given a vaccine, you can thank the horseshoe crab for ensuring that your jab was

There was no known widespread outbreaks of Ebola when the vaccine was developed 15 years ago using animals The experimental vaccine was created by the Public Health Agency of Canada in 2003, the vaccine was shown The Ebola vaccine, which it is hoped can stem the new outbreak, was developed when there was no public Yes, we may now have an Ebola vaccine, but as important as this is, that’s not why the research using

In the search for vaccines and treatments for Covid-19 animals can play an essential role in both basic -19 vaccine development). 1. Mice play an essential role in both vaccine and drug development for Covid-19. Pigs are used in Covid-19 vaccine testing to help scientists better understand how safe and effective a new vaccine is and therefore whether it is suitable for human trials.

Although Covid-19 is the most memorable outbreak of an infectious disease in recent times – during which animals such as monkeys were vital to the rapid rollout of vaccines – many other diseases such as malaria For example, sheep, ferrets and eggs from chickens are being used to produce new flu vaccines as they

University of Pennsylvania , used a targeted treatment based on mRNA technology (the same basis for Covid -19 vaccines), and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

legislation may drive biomedical studies using monkeys out of Europe and threaten the future of brain and vaccine rule has coincided with a dramatic shortage of research monkeys in Europe, due to demand during the Covid that monkeys are ‘irreplaceable for some biomedical research’ and explains that anyone who received a Covid -19 vaccine approved in the EU has received a vaccine tested on research monkeys.

and rats, they nonetheless provide valuable insights into everything from safety tests to developing vaccines well as develop antibody treatments, while hamsters have been helpful for testing new ways to treat Covid

on different antibody and drug combinations, including mRNA (the same technology that was used for Covid -19 vaccines).

They have played a key role in advances, including the rapid development of Covid-19 vaccines and our

Animal research plays a vital role in advancing medicine, such as contributing to the development of COVID -19 vaccines.

This increase was due to project authorisations for the evaluation of Covid-19 vaccines and treatments use in 2020, include many of the animals used in basic and pre-clinical research, as well as drug and vaccine testing to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic. stop using animals in biomedical research then significant progress in finding treatments for other vaccines -19 vaccine during the 2020-21 pandemic.
