Nick and Adam discuss COVID-19 vaccines, animal testing and pseudo-scientific/conspiratorial views in the vegan community and beyond.

 We mainly focus on the article ‘Are COVID vaccines vegan? Should I get one anyway? An ethicist explains’ by Ben Bramble: https://theconversation.com/amp/are-covid-vaccines-vegan-should-i-get-one-anyway-an-ethicist-explains-155221

 We also briefly touch on the article ‘Your unvaccinated friend is roughly 20 times more likely to give you COVID’ by Christopher Baker and Andrew Robinson: https://theconversation.com/your-unvaccinated-friend-is-roughly-20-times-more-likely-to-give-you-covid-170448
