I'm looking forward to the end of that copy pasta

In short:

Australia's vet regulator approves a koala chlamydia vaccine for nationwide rollout, offering new hope in the fight against the potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease.

Vets and conservation groups say the vaccine's rollout is vital to give struggling koala colonies a chance at survival.

What's next?

Researchers are calling for government funding to help deliver the vaccine to at-risk koala populations in Queensland and New South Wales by the end of 2026.

Someone please rant how Koalas must be genocided again! Will Chlamdia epidemic cure insufice the talking points for genocide, or can an anti government/vaccine conspiracy increase the need to kill them all? Your readers await in growing a brain cell to obtain a firm position on genocide.

Great. Now the koalas are going to get autism.
