Zoo Animals Are Getting Experimental Coronavirus Vaccines
NY Times ^ | 7/2

Posted on 07/08/2021 1:37:20 AM PDT by Tipllub

The Oakland Zoo in California started this week with bears, mountain lions, tigers and ferrets, the first of about 100 animals that are set to receive an experimental vaccine against the coronavirus over the summer.

Zoetis, a veterinary pharmaceutical company, is donating 11,000 doses of the vaccine to about 70 zoos as well as sanctuaries, universities and other animal conservation sites in 27 U.S. states, and the Oakland Zoo is one of the first to benefit. The vaccine is solely for animals, goes through a different approval process than for people, and cannot be used to protect humans.

“It means a lot more safety for our beautiful animals,” Dr. Alex Herman, said vice president of veterinary services at the Oakland Zoo. “Our very first animals to get vaccinated at the zoo were two of our beautiful and elderly tigers.”

If the animals are fine, we know they got saline injections meant to encourage the public, “See? The Giraff is fine so you will be too!”

Yup—pretty soon they will be hunting and trapping rabbits, squirrels, and field mice to jab to make sure every animal is “safe”....

;-)

Wait until the animal rights activists figure out how dangerous the vaccines are to animals—grab the popcorn.

Fort Worth Zoo teamed up with Tarrant County Health Dept to push the shot. Half price entry on certain days. Turns out those days are already half price. I asked if they were going to give the animals shots given there have been reports of COVID in animals. I was being snarky. Looks like it’s a thing.

The zoo animals would like to thank the test humans who participated in a Phase 3 clinical trial, making this all possible.

Best way to know the truth about the shot is to hold Gates and Fauci down and slowly move the needle toward their skin and watch them scream, force them to admit the truth.

Just like the H1N1 shots in 09/10. Dress rehearsal for now.

Are these animals even affected by the Virus?”

Yes there was an incident early on in NY at the Bronx zoo where the Tigers came down with a respiratory virus determined to CV19.

The Chinese also tested a large portion of the stray cats in Wuhan. They had antibodies present.

I would watch the ferrets because they are common test animals. If they start to get sick and die not good.
