evidence: While some vegans are anti-vaxxers, this is not usually the case. According to the Vegan Society, 85 percent of British vegans have "been jabbed" at least once. Indeed, in the UK, vegans are exempt from workplace vaccine mandates. And the Vegan Society COVID policy statement argues that COVID vaccines are morally acceptable even though they are tested on animals. The Society holds that the definition of veganism recognizes that it is not always possible for vegans to completely avoid participating in animal use, particularly in situations such as the pandemic. In an article in The Conversation, the bioethicist Ben Bramble makes a convincing argument that vegans should be able to get the COVID vaccine in good conscience. [...] Professor Bramble is sympathetic with the moral plight of vegans in the face of COVID. He wrote, "Nevertheless, under current circumstances, our need to use animals to develop and test these vaccines is real. So, the correct path is not to reject COVID-19 vaccines. It’s to reluctantly accept them and lobby hard for better treatment of animals."
