Current COVID-19 Pandemic and Animal Testing
With the global pandemic happening as of April 2020, scientists are looking for solutions to not only reduce deaths but also build immunity to this virus. The race is on to create a vaccine that can reduce the amount of people being affected. Due to the fact that a solution is needed, some researchers are skipping animal testing and going straight to human testing. This is unusual and breaks protocol as there are laws set in place to use an animal model before a human model. With the known fact that vaccines take at least a decade from start to finish, the human population doesn't have that much time to find a solution. At the moment, about 35 institutions are on the hunt to create a vaccine and about 4 have already started testing on animals. How valid these results are from animal testing is up for debate with the fact that animals cannot contract the virus. With that said, further and separate studies are being made to understand how differently or similarly animals are affected by COVID-19.
