Advocates for self-spreading vaccines say they could revolutionize public health by disrupting infectious disease spread among animals before a zoonotic spillover could occur—potentially preventing the next pandemic.
, a biosecurity researcher at the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute. “Even if you just start by setting it out into animal populations, part of the genetic elements might find their way back into humans.”In 1999, veterinarian José Manuel Sánchez-Vizcaíno led a team of researchers to Isla del Aire, an island off the eastern coast of Spain, to test a self-spreading vaccine against two viral diseases: rabbit hemorrhagic disease and myxomatosis.
On the island the research team captured 147 rabbits, placed microchips in their necks, administered the vaccine to about half of them, and released them all back into the wild. For the next 32 days, the vaccinated and unvaccinated rabbits lived as they normally did.
Although the team was given two years to comply, the funding body did not provide support for further work, recalls Juan Bárcena, then a Ph.D. student working under Sánchez-Vizcaíno. Bárcena no longer advocates for self-spreading vaccine technology, but he says that data from the laboratory and field trials showed the vaccine was safe and its spread remained confined to the rabbit populations.

what in the Kentucky fried fuck? do you want zombies? because this is how you get zombies.
Put a virus in the animals they feed on..!!! And start a bat pandemic....
Are you out of your mind?
: I vaccini sono uno strumento chiave per prevenire la diffusione delle malattie, ma gli animali selvatici sono difficili da vaccinare. I vaccini auto-diffusivi offrono una soluzione.
Oh fuck no.
I've already seen this movie. It didn't end well ... joke aside. This is a terrible idea, since there's no way we can ever plan for all the variables
F°ck Big Pharma. Don't need your toxic waste.
Seriously? Wtf
That sounds like such a bad idea !!! We cant control any virus, so why spread more ?
how about. no
So..let’s engineer a virus which can change and mutate as it goes freely in the world, but call it a “Vaccine”. Getting tired of wealthier ppl playing God with lives of others
Nah fuck that shit. I'm vaccinated but vaccines should be voluntary. This is too reckless; you won't be able to control it if it's like this.
As long as the vaccines are safe and not causing harm to the animals or the humans, this sounds fine. But when they’re not, it becomes a dangerous idea. Covid proved how little certainty and control there is in science.
Wtf
Like a biological security patch
This is the beginning of a zombie story, no doubt
Interesting strategy, but it sounds hard to test in a controlled manner.
“Once you set something engineered and self-transmissible out into nature, you don't know what happens to it and where it will go” J. Sandbrink “Even if you just start by setting it out into animal populations, part of the genetic elements might find their way back into humans.”
After the kids, infants and now wild animals, where does Pfizer go next? I am sure the trees could use a flu vaccine or two.
Vaccines are of the upmost importance !! We should not underestimate the significance that vaccines have become over the last 100 years ! Thank you !
Very very bad idea🧐
Have we learned anything?
What could go wrong? We all know the science is infallible.
Don't you know why Russia must fight Ukraine? But you absolutely know why the US&NATO fighted Iraq, Syria, Libya,Because they let you know what you can know!Countless war have proved US&NATO is dictator,genocides,murderer,Brainwashers;(Ukraine must win)
No thank you
No. Just, no.
Maybe. Just maybe. We can simply leave animals alone. Bats didn't introduce themselves into somebody's cuisine.
I'm sure that won't have any unintended consequences
This is stupid. Let nature run the show like she always has, she knows very well how to do it.
We are tired of vaccines. I haven't taken one for many moons. They will diminish the population with vaccines. That is what they are now designed to do.
Okay so I can't be against vaccination of human beings and livestock.... But part of me kind of thinks it's super dumb to introduce a vaccine into the wild.. is it just me or just this seem like a bad idea? Like evasive species are one thing but evasive vaccines..
I'm going to reveal: I don't want to go abroad Bitch Xi Jinping and they may want me to expose my country's ugliness! Click the body with a penetrating laser They can also steal and spy on the world at a super long distance Not a joke, take it seriously Please contact me
Ah yes. After that, we get stronger diseases. Humankind never learn, huh
That would be pretty cool... Though I don't know how would it be possible to make that work without it causing significant ill effects...
What a stupid argument to vaccinate wild animals. Humans are ridiculous and pathetic.
Stop making viruses and we won't need vaccines for them......
NO, because within no time they will be making this shit for humans too.
I’ve seen that movie
Well that’s terrifying
Pass
No
