Muslim Concerns over halal COVID-19 vaccine

Both the Jewish and Islamic scriptures have this to say;saving a life is like saving the entire humanity. 

5:32 (Asad), “Because of this did We ordain unto the children of Israel that if anyone slays a human being unless it be [in punishment] for murder or for spreading corruption on earth-it shall be as though he had slain all mankind; whereas, if anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he had saved the lives of all mankind. And, indeed, there came unto them Our apostles with all evidence of the truth: yet, behold, notwithstanding all this, many of them go on committing all manner of excesses on earth.”

In Houston, where a mosque was to be built, a naughty neighbor had a Pig race on the land. The Imam had responded to him, we don’t eat pork, but have no problems if you race. We are not anti-Pig; we don’t eat it. 

Of course, most people reluctantly will take it. The Saudis should have hired a research team, both Muslims, from Pfizer and Moderna, to develop the drug without pork products. 

Would Hasan Rouhani, King Salaman, and the Muslim heads of states prefer to die than take the vaccine? Would you?  

If it is not common sense, then it is not Islam.
