    Invasive pythons hold key ingredient for COVID-19 vaccine

    I find this Sad (for the snakes) But at least all the snakes they euthanize in Florida will have a use in the end.

    "If scientists switch over to using Burmese pythons instead, Thompson says one 10-12 foot snake could provide enough squalene oil for about 3,400 vaccine doses."

    Fascinating! The whole situation, having to remove & kill the invasive snakes is sad for sure, but maybe there's a "good side" to this after all.
