The San Diego Zoo announced it is in the process of inoculating many of its great apes after several of its gorillas became sick with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in January.

Zoetis, a producer of medicine and vaccinations for animals, provided the shots, according to the zoo, and they were not for human use.

"The gorilla troop at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are doing well and appear to be on their way to a full recovery," officials said in a statement. In February, Lisa Peterson, executive director of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, said the zoo was"so grateful for the outpouring concern and support we’ve received while the troop safely recovered."In this January 2021 photo provided by the San Diego Zoo, Leslie, a silverback gorilla, left, and a gorilla named Imani are seen in their enclosure at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, Calif.

Hope they had at least 2 approved diseases or were at least 65!

50smag Trump & Melanie😂😷

My question is how did they get sars-cov-2. Aren't they technically always quarantined in cages?🤔🤔🤔 lol

Curious the way atheist-evolutionists, and consequently people at large, refer to them as 'great apes'. If man really is just another 'primate' as the atheist-evolutionists believe, then surely man is the greatest ape ever (?).

I’m sure they have 2 or more preexisting conditions

Gorillas getting vaccinated before me & I'm here for it!! Poor things. I hope they're okay, now. SO glad someone thought to make Zoetis! It's comforting to know they're not forgotten.

Hi can you help us amplify what’s going on in Senegal please. The government is trying to shut down local medias and social media and we need FreeSenegal to trend and go viral! 4 people are already dead and more will come if they don’t stop the oppression

What if they refuse?

Did Rand Paul and Ted Cruz sneak into San Diego zoo to jump the queue to get Covid vaccines😂😂😂

And they are declining any visits from the Neanderthals from Texas.

They are getting it before humans 🤔

Thought: Now the monkeys get the vaccine before seniors?

I am looking for new, good friends
