OP-ED: Not the time for monkey business

Globe Biotech’s vaccine trial raises both scientific and ethical concerns
A disturbing news is circulating in the mainstream media regarding Globe Biotech’s desperate effort to find experimental monkeys to test their proposed vaccine candidate. Unfortunately, Globe Biotech recently displayed non-scientific approaches by hunting monkeys in Bhawal National Park and Safari Park in Bangladesh. 

According to reports, employees of Globe Biotech Ltd have caught 30 wild monkeys from Safari parks since June 29, 2021. However, the field workers from the company confronted local people while catching monkeys from Barmi Bazar, Gazipur.
