MIT researchers developed water-resistant, food-grade microneedles that could be used to vaccinate farmed fish. The technology could help prevent disease outbreaks that cause substantial losses in aquaculture.
There are a number of extremely vocal vegans around here, and a few of them are the type that lead people to hate on all vegans by being super obnoxious about it. This type will comment about it even on news that is a net positive (less disease spreading, Matt less dear l suffering and death among the fish) if there is any consumption of animals involved. Guessing this person one of them.
You can check my post history for these type of comments and will notice that it is rare for me to comment on this. It’s not even about being vegan, i just do not see how this is uplifting news. The science portion of this article is quite insightful and i think it’s placed quite well in a science community, but increasing the yield of factory farms is nothing uplifting in my opinion. If there was an article “new food allows chicken to grow twice as fast and twice as fat before slaughtering” i would react the same way, because it would realistically not result in less animals being slaughtered but would only result in more cheap meat consumption. And this is nothing uplifting in my opinion.
