Several companies in the race for a coronavirus vaccine have stumbled upon a new and unexpected hurdle: activists protesting the use of a substance that comes from sharks in their products.
The oily compound, called squalene, is churned out by shark livers and has immunity-boosting powers, which has led several companies to use it as an ingredient in vaccines.
A group called Shark Allies has mounted a campaign calling on the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies to halt the sourcing of the compound from sharks, warning that mass distribution of a coronavirus vaccine could require harvesting tissue from more than 500,000 sharks.
Companies commonly use squalene as a moisturizing additive in cosmetics and sunscreens. But the substance has also been occasionally used in vaccines as an adjuvant — a chemical that kick-starts the immune system into action, driving stronger, longer-lasting protection against disease.
Although adjuvants aren’t necessary for all vaccines, they can make or break certain recipes. By boosting products’ immunity-priming powers, they can also increase the immunization’s efficiency, giving the vaccine’s ingredients more bang for their buck and freeing up supplies for more doses.
Shark livers are considered among the best sources of the compound. Between 63 million and 273 million sharks die at the hands of humans each year, and liver oil is harvested from at least a couple million of them, according to Catherine Macdonald, a shark biologist in Florida.

Some of you might remember the links between Squalene and Gulf War Syndrome.

So, are those laser beams emanating from their eyes a natural selection process?
Aborted baby parts fine. Shark parts not so much.
In other words, the vaccine makers must be slaughtering sharks.
Why, because one takes what the NYT slackers write and file it under “Democrat & Media Outputs & Lies”.
Yes, but what your fact check article does not say is that they use a synthetic;y produced squalene that is not taken from sharks, and they give it a different name, but it it works the same
They only want to depopulate humans... not sharks.
The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: recombinant, replication-incompetent adenovirus type 26 expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, citric acid monohydrate, trisodium citrate dihydrate, ethanol, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBCD), polysorbate-80, sodium chloride.
HBCD is HPβCD. Is that what you are calling synthetic squalene?
The vaccine industry is pure. evil
their entire history has been perpetrated by fraud , death and destruction
Notice how the satanic Democrats take out this mantle as a unit constantly
Giant signs. VACCINATE NOW !!! We’ll PAY 💰 YOU!
This is beautiful actually - they’re exposing themselves for the world to see

That’s right tiger! Go get’em!
What a moronic thing to say.
Tell me ole’ wise one, what color would have wanted you IRON LUNG to be?
Vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of lives.
Many deceases have been wiped out because of vaccines.
Good grief.
Remember the good old days? Smallpox, polio, diptheria. Yeah....
If the NYT is saying they aren’t then we can be assured they are.
Throw a rock over a fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit. When they react to something nobody claimed, then you know they are guilty as sin.
Except... somebody DID claim it.
(Not that such makes the Times less deserving of scrutiny, but, here, 1/2 million sharks out of likely over a hundred million killed by humans anyway (per year, likely mostly for food?) seems rather inconsequential.)
Heck, create shark farms if need be.
