Thread: Fatwa - a pox on your vaccine says Indonesia

The pork is probably the most salubrious of the ingredients therein!

Time for muslim scientists to step up and find a suitable replacement.

if they tested all their food for traces of pork they would starve

Another option is for another Muslim cleric to issue a fatwa saying such vaccines are allowed. Muslims can then follow the fatwa of their choosing.

I wonder how the twit/farce sphere in Indo is addressing this vaccination kerfuffle

Bots and Russian trolls spread misinformation about vaccines on Twitter to sow division and distribute malicious content before and during the American presidential election, according to a new study.

Scientists at George Washington University, in Washington DC, made the discovery while trying to improve social media communications for public health workers, researchers said. Instead, they found trolls and bots skewing online debate and upending consensus about vaccine safety.

The study discovered several accounts, now known to belong to the same Russian trolls who interfered in the US election, as well as marketing and malware bots, tweeting about vaccines.

Russian trolls played both sides, the researchers said, tweeting pro- and anti-vaccine content in a politically charged context.

“These trolls seem to be using vaccination as a wedge issue, promoting discord in American society,” Mark Dredze, a team member and professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, which was also involved in the study, said.

“By playing both sides, they erode public trust in vaccination, exposing us all to the risk of infectious diseases. Viruses don’t respect national boundaries.”

Storm in a teacup, the vaccine is still allowed.
Once an alternative is found, no problem to ban the porcine-infected vaccine.
A bit of a beat-up headline of a bit of a beat-up fatwa.
Those Imams need to appear to be doing their job.

There is no damn pork in the vaccine. Two of the constituents are made in chicken eggs (measles and mumps viruses), while the other (Rubella virus) is made in a human origin cell line.
