Vaccines In Food

@Thoughtful3 posted a link to this over in Deny Politics, but I think it deserves its own thread on the main board along with an excerpt:

(this is from 2023, it seems)

MAJOR FUNDING going into transgenic edible plant vaccine research

Taxpayer dollars are being spent to develop mRNA vaccines grown into lettuce and spinach people eat...

More huge funding research is going into this

- National Science Foundation (NSF): A notable example is a $500,000 grant awarded to the University of California, Riverside to study the production of mRNA vaccines in edible plants like lettuce. The project, led by Juan Pablo Giraldo, aimed to develop plant-based mRNA vaccine factories, with additional funding of $1.6 million for related nanotechnology research to deliver genetic material to chloroplasts

- National Institutes of Health (NIH): ProdiGene, a now-defunct company, received an unspecified NIH grant to develop a transgenic edible vaccine in corn

- National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA): Fort Valley State University in Georgia received funding (amount unspecified) starting in 2016 for a five-year project to develop transgenic alfalfa expressing the cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) for edible vaccines

Looks legit...

"Plants as mRNA Factories for Edible Vaccines"

September 17, 2021 Published in Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Juan Pablo Giraldo

University of California-Riverside (UCR) researchers say they are studying whether they can turn edible plants like lettuce into mRNA vaccine factories.

One of the challenges with this new technology is that it must be kept cold to maintain stability during transport and storage. If this new project is successful, plant-based mRNA vaccines, which can be eaten, could overcome this challenge with the ability to be stored at room temperature.

The project’s goals, made possible by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, are threefold: showing that DNA containing the mRNA vaccines can be successfully delivered into the part of plant cells where it will replicate, demonstrating the plants can produce enough mRNA to rival a traditional shot, and finally, determining the right dosage.

“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” said Juan Pablo Giraldo, PhD, an associate professor in UCR’s department of botany and plant sciences. He is leading the research, done in collaboration with scientists from UC San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University.

Some more info on pushback here:

The truth is that, because of field-tests of genetically engineered crops, including pharma crops, vaccines are contaminating our food supply—and have been since 1992.

This first made the news when the ProdiGene scandal (that Congressman Massie referenced above) broke in 2002. A corn crop genetically engineered by ProdiGene to produce a vaccine for pigs contaminated 500,000 bushels of Nebraska soybeans worth $2.7 million. The year after the GMO pig vaccine corn was grown, the same land was used to grow soybeans for human consumption. The soybeans were harvested and sent to the grain elevator before it was discovered that the GMO pig vaccine corn had grown like a weed amongst the soybeans and contaminated the whole lot. The same season, a similar thing happened in Iowa, where 155 acres of corn grown growing next to a plot of ProdiGene’s GMO pig vaccine corn was contaminated by windblown pollen.

The ProdiGene contamination incidents were said to involve a vaccine for a bacteria-induced diarrhea that infects pigs, but the company was also engineering corn to produce an HIV vaccine and a blood-clotting agent. At the time, ProdiGene had received 85 test permits for experimental open-air trials of genetically engineered biopharmaceutical and chemical crops for planting in at least 96 locations.

ProdiGene received a $6 million investment from the Governors Biotechnology Partnership, funded by Monsanto and chaired by Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. Vilsack, who is currently President Joe Biden’s Agriculture Secretary and also served in that role for 8 years in the Obama-Biden Administration, didn’t want any restrictions placed on experimental pharma crops.

Vilsack said, “We should not overreact and hamstring this industry.” That his was reaction to the biggest food companies’ trade lobby, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, when they pleaded with him to protect food crops from pharma crops.

ProdiGene is still conducting open-air field trials of pharma crops under a new name, the Applied Biotechnology Institute, but with the same leadership. CEO John A. Howard is still all about “plant-based oral vaccines” which he says will “increase convenience for the consumer.”

This is disturbing. Don't want.

I'm just here to see how the pharma cheerleaders are going to paint this one...

Cheerleading is too aerobically exerting, it's not compatible with myocarditis. Now they just sit in their armchairs and question the qualifications of sources, or make jokes about RFK Jr.

Heh.

This is a little scarier than the Roundup GMO stuff, because at least that you can perhaps avoid by looking for the Organic label, but with testfields of vaccine genesplices it can easily "accidentally" pollinate into other crops, organically grown or not...

What i don't understand is the why 0.o the lettuce has to be kept at certain conditions etc why is this even being done at all it looks like a "because we can" project instead of let's help the world project. I don't see the benefit of this that's greater than what's already out there besides it being vegan idk. Nuts. Maybe it's a cost issue? All I could come up with.

This comes across more as an experiment to make Frankenstein food than provide any kind of immunity. The stomach does a good job in breaking down the genetic material in food. With any bits that do make it into the blood stream, there are other processes to clean up any lose genetic material. This is why the covid mRNA needed the lipid barrier to trick the cell into thinking it was getting some food, to find some genetic material inside.

Even if it all goes to plan for the researchers, it is going to be impossible to provide a consistent dose if the aim is to get the body to uptake and produce a small part of the foods mRNA sequence.

Where this research will be more effective is getting the plant to produce spike protein, snake venom or whatever organic antigen they want.

If they are now letting us know there is research being done on this it, it means they are already outting it in our food. there have been articles about this since 2021, specifically regarding lettuce and beef so I'm sure they much further along than they are saying. Just like the climate engineering that we all know has been happening for years now because you know, we can freakin see it happening every day. Now they are publicly talking about doing trials and studies on it, the reality is they have been doing it for years already.

That's how things go with these POS's.

Thanks for posting this Ultrabudgie.

There has been lots of tinkering with the food supply. Usually Billy the Gates has generously funded the research.
Such as in the case of funding Apeel- a waxy coating sprayed on fruit and vegetables that cannot be washed off.
Even organic has been treated.
Apparently it was to expand the shelf life and not ours. When it first came out all the produce was super shiny. Not so much now so maybe it has been discontinued?

See IG Farben - see Bayer for all this 'antihuman' shit.

Auschwitz was a 100% subsidiary of IG Farben.

Just objectively research Bill Gates family tree.

You are sadly correct.  Unless we all get home lab equipment and test all of our food I don't know what we can do.
Buying organic non GMO is one thing, but when labelling is inaccurate and laws are bypassed or don't exist it's all a crap shoot.
Very scary. 
Don't forget to get your flu shot.

yeah the tricky labelling is a peeve, like when vegetables are labelled "organically grown", hmm, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't washed afterwards in preservatives and coated with shiny petrochemical wax. see, that happens after they're grown...

fundamental issue is for a growing portion of the population this is no-longer a high-trust society. they may actually be trying to kill us. or at least the end result is indistinguishable from such.
