@LieutenantFatman I that will the next subject by a so called teacher who doesn't wear a mask to lessons.
We are now in a world of people being offended for other people who they think should be offended, who arent offended.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
So the San Diego zoo vaccinated some apes and I really don't know how I feel about that. Actually, I do. Can we not address the zoo animals after healthcare workers, teachers, service industry staff, and the population's most vulnerable? And I get it, there was an outbreak but seriously, welcome to the present. Get in line.
Well, there are way less gorillas than humans on this planet. And in a way it's also protecting the staff from getting it from one of them. And it's not like there are millions of gorillas in line to get a vaccine either... I don't see the problem!
@Octane this is one of those times where the fact that I couldn't be bothered to read the article kinda bit me in the rear, as I assumed it was the same vaccine but then considered it might not be only after posting. So by the time I checked the article and confirmed it's some experimental vaccine (and not the human vaccine) the damage had already been done.
Ah well. Got my stupid comment of the day out of the way early.

@zupertramp I’d also add that the prospect of Covid spreading to animals is way scarier than it sounds. If it gets to wild animals and ends up mutating, it’s a whole lot harder to contain. Since we value human lives and well-being a lot more than a pigeon or rat and people actually walk into hospitals, we’re a lot more aware of the virus than we would have been if it had only spread to humans after ravaging animal populations.
Socks before or after trousers, but never socks before pants, that's the rule. Makes a man look scary, like a chicken.
@zupertramp It does seem a bit silly from the outside without context. At this point, everyone universally benefits from getting back to normal so I reckon I just trust that people in science-y positions probably know what to do.

Argh, my mortal enemy and only weakness!
Rumour has it Alpacas are similar to butterflies, they cocoon themselves and then come out as llamas, so it's all good.
Then llamas eventually cocoon as well and emerge as cybernetically enhanced velociraptors. But the second bit is top secret so best not to tell anyone or you'll have llama security forces after you.
@nessisonett@zupertramp Covid mutating uncontrollably and spreading back to human populations is a real danger. It's why Denmark recently holocausted their mink population.
But I mean I do know this. I mean this all most likely originated in some animal in the first place. I get it. It's one of the many reasons to abhor factory farming.
To be clear, I wasn't saying don't vaccinate animals. It's just, what was going on at this zoo that there was an outbreak? And is vaccinating them more important than say, human beings in third world countries whose governments can't even secure vaccines because, like, more virulent mutations can occur from rampant outbreaks just within humans too. And I'm guessing they also have animal populations in these countries that could make this worse as well.
It was more about the context of everything else going on weighed against a half dozen gorillas at a zoo.
But as I realized, it's moot because it's not even the same vaccine. Which makes sense. Why would it be.
