vegans and vaccines

apparently vegans are now a 'protected species' and are exempt from getting vaccines, cause the vaccines were tested on animals....

That isn't quite what I've read, about the [i]possibility[/i] that "ethical veganism" might exempt some from vaccine mandates an employer might impose.

@Piper and I think even that's only on the uk?

@Piper I was thinking that ethical veganism and normal veganism is basically the same? or is ethical veganism more strict?

@SooperSarah only in the UK, forgot to mention that

@SooperSarah Based on my brief search earlier, it is only the in UK that this
[i]possible[/i] vaccine exemption has gained attention. Mainly by "anti-vaxxers" on social media, it seems, who jokingly say they are vegans.

@Piper this is what I read. It also goes into the unprovable difference between vegan and ethical vegan.

@maturedragon There are those who choose a vegan diet, for reasons related mainly to their own health. Then there are those who wish to do the [i]least[/i] harm in their choices as a [b]consumer[/b].
From what I've seen and experienced for a very long time, many people don't think there is anything "normal" about vegans or even vegetarians.

@SooperSarah That is one of the two articles I read too, on this subject.
