BBC: A vaccine which could save Australia’s endangered koala population from a rampant chlamydia epidemic has been approved for rollout for the first time.
University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) scientists have spent more than a decade developing a jab to curb the spread of the disease, which has devastated wild koala populations across most of eastern Australia.
“Some individual wild colonies, where infection rate can be as high as 70%, are edging closer to extinction every day,” Peter Timms said.
With approval from regulators now secured, he said the team hoped for major funding to distribute the vaccine to wildlife hospitals, vet clinics and koalas in the wild. more
Hope it’s not an mRNA vaccine.
This website seems to have a very biased and aggressive tone towards certain political groups. The comments section is filled with harsh insults and it feels like a echo chamber of hate. Its disappointing to see such negativity.
My Koala will be glad to hear this.
Alright, who’s been screwing with the koalas, and giving them the clap?
The furries.

Have you seen aboriginal women? Just sayin
OK, so Black guys are raping koalas now too?
O.K. — how the fuck are the koalas getting chlamydia in the first place? Is anyone in Australia asking that question?
