Half a million shark livers needed for vaccine
It occurs to me that we could help :deadhorse - patriotic duty and all that.
Quote:
Half a million sharks could be killed for their natural oil to produce coronavirus vaccines, according to conservationists.
One ingredient used in some
COVID-19 vaccine candidates is squalene, a natural oil made in the liver of
sharks.
Squalene is currently used as an adjuvant in medicine - an ingredient that increases the effectiveness of a vaccine by creating a stronger immune response.
Just sayin'...
