    Horseshoe crabs? Does anyone really think that antivaxxers give a rodent’s posterior about horseshoe crabs? The desperation here is palpable. 😂https://www.ageofautism.com/2020/08/will-vegans-reject-covid-vaccine-that-drains-horseshoe-crabs-of-their-blood.html …

        There are probably some vegans who aren't otherwise antivaxxers and who would care, but the intersection of {vegans who care} and {people who know enough about biotech to know about this} is probably too small to affect vaccination rates much.

        They are fake crying about horseshoe crabs here, while advocating for the deaths of children.

        Most vegans I know don't like animal testing/products, but understand the need for them in medical use. I don't know any vegans who don't get the flu shot bc of the eggs.

        I'm mostly vegan (cheese weakness), and I will be injected with an actual crab if it means i won't kill another human--especially when it disproportionately affects vulnerable people and exploited minorities. Not getting the vaccine is crueler. We can philosophize after.

        I think antivaccine activists become passionate about the endangered red flea if they thought it could get them a single ally in their fight against #vaccines that prevent diseases.

        I’m not sure whether there is, in fact, a red flea or whether, if it exists, if it’s endangered.
