“We Seek The Truth”- Industry-wide Call for Truth in Labeling mRNA Vaccinated Meat

I took “The Genetics of Livestock Improvement” and “Genetics of Biology” three-hour courses at the University of Missouri in 1971 and 1972, exactly 18 and 19 years after Watson and Crick published their confirmation (previous research from Linus Pauling and Rosalind Franklin were utilized by Watson and Crick) of the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the British scientific weekly Nature on April 25, 1953¹.  I have continued my education in genetics with 80-120 hours of yearly continuing education courses, but, when I get up every morning, I am amazed at how little I know.  The American public was unwittingly and forcibly thrust into a genetic education of sorts with the introduction of emergency mRNA injections during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) obtains the genetic code from DNA by the process of transcription. mRNA carries this code to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell where ribosomal and transfer RNAs translate this code, each three linearly aligned nucleotides representing one amino acid.  Transfer RNA brings these amino acids to the ribosome where they are chemically bonded together in long chains to produce proteins, which are then folded repeatedly to form a specific enzyme or protein.   (Figure 1)

Figure 1

When Pfizer introduced their mRNA injection, they assured the public that the genetic code for the spike protein of the COVID-19 virus would not become incorporated into the DNA of the recipient, as did the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  The CDC Coronavirus section states, 

“They do not affect or interact with our DNA.

• These vaccines do not enter the nucleus of the cell where our DNA (genetic material) is located, so it cannot change or influence our genes.”²

Swedish researchers published in Current Issues Molecular Biology 2022, 44, 1115–1126, their findings that directly dispute the CDC.  While their study was performed utilizing liver cancer cells in culture, within 6 hours of exposing the liver cells to COVID-19 spike antigen coded mRNA, reverse transcription occurred, placing the mRNA carried genetic code into the nuclear DNA of the cells.³ What does this prove?  Who knows, but Pfizer and the CDC were inaccurate in their repeated assurances that mRNA would only stay inside a cell’s cytoplasm.³

Alan Lash Ph.D., has written an excellent article for the Brownstone Institute.  I quote, 

“The CDC also changed the definition of vaccine so a mRNA injection would fit into the category. We saw this happen two years ago, comparing old and new versions of what they posted on their website.

Here was the definition on the CDC website in 2020:

“Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease … But they have been killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick.”

The new version became much more general, to include mRNA. Here is the current definition on the CDC website:

“A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

The first question you may ask is “Why would the CDC want to make it seem like this is just a standard old familiar technology? Why do they feel like they have to call it a vaccine? Are they trying to trick us into feeling comfortable? Why?”

mRNA is not a traditional vaccine, but it’s not new either. It is a thirty-year-old technology. You might remember there used to be this thing called “gene therapy” that no one talks about anymore. That’s what category this belongs to.

The original purpose of gene therapy was to give people the ability to have their own bodies produce something that they weren’t producing naturally, something that their bodies needed, like insulin for diabetics. The purpose was to make up for a deficiency that the body could not generate on its own.”⁴

Robert Kogan wrote for the Brownstone Institute: “Pfizer ran the trial, but it did so on BioNTech’s behalf: as a contractor, just as in the case of the manufacturing process. 

And when all was said and done, as I already noted a year and a half ago, it was BioNTech, not Pfizer, that received full approval from the FDA for what is, after all, its drug.”⁵  

Kogan provides evidence that Pfizer was simply acting as an agent for a foreign company from Germany.  (Figures 2 and 3).

Robert W. Malone, MD MPH, who was instrumental in the development of mRNA technology⁶, demonstrated in a Substack article, Jan 11, 2023, that mRNA injections are currently being utilized in food animal species in veterinary medicine.⁷  

“Bayer Animal Health as partnered with BioNTech to manufacture veterinary mRNA “vaccines”.  

Bayer to manufacture mRNA vaccine in Germany

Bayer Website, February 1, 2021

“Following discussions with the German government it has become clear that current manufacturing capacities for vaccines need to be increased, particularly for potential variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

This includes the need to expand production capacity as well as related manufacturing expertise in Germany.

We at Bayer will contribute even further by making more vaccine available to help fight the pandemic.

So, Bayer lent their mRNA manufacturing vaccine facilities for use for the making of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Given the above 2016 press releases, that Bayer and BioNTech were collaborating to make mRNA vaccines for the animal markets, it would make sense that these facilities were actually built for the production of veterinary vaccines.”

Dr. Malone points out the following:

“NOVEL MRNA VACCINE TECHNOLOGY FOR PREVENTION OF BOVINE RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY (grant summary page) (Project start date Oct 1, 2021)

Non-Technical Summary

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant viral pathogen of young cows that is a key component of the respiratory disease complex and often leads to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Prefusion F has recently shown to be highly efficacious in barrier housed RSV challenged cows. However, the difficulty in generating prefusion F along with the cost of its production are a hurdle for adoption to the farm. RSV immunity also tends to wane quickly and given the complications of field or pen raised cattle and their stressors and other circulating diseases, and a protein vaccine may not prove highly efficacious in the real world. Here, we will test a novel mRNA vaccine system we have developed that substantially lowers the price point for production animals and may lead to more thermal stable transcripts compatible with vaccinating on the farm. The use of an alternative delivery system rather than lipid nanoparticles will also lower the vaccine costs. We expect to demonstrate efficacy of the vaccine platform using mice at first as proof of principle before switching to a full cow vaccination and challenge system in year 2. Our overall goal is to test a novel mRNA system for inducing immunological protection from bovine RSV infection. We hypothesize that a prefusion F mRNA delivered continuously by vaccine implant will lead to prolonged and robust cellular and antibody immunity. Here, we will optimize our vaccine further and then test for potential correlates of protection to examine for in eventually challenged cows.”

2016 Press Release

Harrisvaccines Receives Production Platform Vaccine Licensure First of its Kind Granted by USDA

Merck Animal Health today announced that its recent acquisition, Harrisvaccines, has been granted licensure of its Prescription Product, RNA Particle (RP) vaccine platform from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (an RP is made up of mRNA). This first-of-its-kind USDA license approves the company’s innovative production platform and allows for the manufacturing of herd-specific, custom vaccines prescribed by a licensed veterinarian.

“This platform license validates a decade of work – and the technology – that has enabled us to respond so quickly to emerging diseases,” said Jodi French, Regulatory Affairs, Merck Animal Health. “It also enables our team to provide customized solutions to meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers.”

The RP technology platform is used to make vaccines for swine, bovine, equine, avian, companion animal and farmed aquaculture diseases. Pathogens are collected from a farm and specific genes are sequenced and synthetically inserted into the platform creating RNA particles, making safe, potent vaccines able to provide herd-specific protection. This system was instrumental in producing the first conditionally licensed vaccine to help control Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv), a deadly virus that has killed more than eight million piglets since suddenly emerging in the United States in 2013. It also was utilized to produce a conditionally licensed vaccine against H5 Avian Influenza, which was subsequently awarded a USDA Stockpile in October 2015.

“Merck Animal Health has a long-standing history of developing innovative, high-quality vaccines,” said Rick Sibbel, D.V.M., Executive Director, Food Animal Technical Services, Merck Animal Health. “Bringing on board this technology and production platform serves to further support and enhance our ongoing commitment to the science of healthier animals.”

Other countries are also working on mRNA technology for injecting cattle:

“Research into mRNA vaccine livestock vaccines in New Zealand and Australia continues with governmental fast-track approval.⁸

NSW fast tracks mRNA FMD and Lumpy Skin Disease vaccines (in cattle)

The NSW Government has taken another step towards fast tracking the world’s first mRNA vaccines for Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Lumpy Skin Disease, inking a deal with US biotechnology company Tiba Biotech.”

Joseph Mercola DO, Children’s Health Defense, expresses his and consumers’ concern about ingesting mRNA coded for an animal disease causing virus.⁹  I quote from Dr. Mercola’s article of April 11, 2023 posted on www.yournews.com.

“As explained by Dr. Peter McCullough:

Natural RNA is made of two purines adenine and guanine and two pyrimidines cytosine and uracil.

The replacement of uracil with its ribose ring (uridine) with N-1-methyl-pseudouridine, a synthetic product, makes the genetic code for the Wuhan Spike protein better stabilized on lipid nanoparticles, long-lasting, and very efficient in terms of evading cellular destruction and able to undergo repeat reading by ribosomes for continued protein synthesis.

Morais et al¹⁰ indicate that both Pfizer and Moderna chose development strategies replacing all uridine units with pseudouridine, making the entire strand completely ‘unnatural’ to the human body. Thus vaccine consultants, companies, and patients unfortunately gambled on how long mRNA would be active within the human body.

Fertig et al¹¹ found lipid nanoparticles with mRNA were measurable in plasma for — 15 days. Recently, Castruita et al¹² demonstrated mRNA in blood out to 28 days. Röltgen et al¹³ have found mRNA in lymph nodes 60 days after injection.

None of these studies demonstrated complete clearance of mRNA from a group of patients.

This is worrisome since injections are recommended in some populations just a few months apart implying there will be stacking of long-lasting mRNA in the body without adequate opportunity for clearance and elimination.

We will look back for many years and ask: how could so many people readily accept injections of heavily modified synthetic genetic code giving the body instructions to manufacture a disease promoting and lethal protein engineered in a biosecurity lab in Wuhan, China?

Repeated administrations of mRNA studded with apparently indestructible pseudouridine may have changed the course of lives forever.

If mRNA shots can cause significant disease in humans, how has it affected our pork supply for the last five years? And how will it affect beef and chicken in the future? Can consuming genetically manipulated meat affect your health? These are questions that currently do not have answers and must be thoroughly and comprehensively investigated.”

The assurances from various medical schools and the CDC that COVID-19 spike protein encoded modified mRNA injected into patients would not leave the cell from which it was absorbed, and mRNA would not remain active inside the cytoplasm of those cells for more than a few days, were incorrect and misleading.  A quick Google search will reveal that current agriculture industry media posts continue to subject their readers to these inaccuracies.

The concern cattle producers and consumers have for consuming meat potentially containing mRNA coded animal disease virus antigens has been ridiculed as misinformation and fearmongering.  Yet, there are plenty of scientific and peer reviewed papers to support vaccination through food.¹⁴ As recently as January 31, 2022, researchers have published techniques for mRNA administration through the human stomach.¹⁵

A recent review paper written by Helene Banoun, a pharmacist biologist from France,¹⁶ raises alarms about the shedding of COVID-19 coded mRNA from vaccinated to unvaccinated close associates.  I quote a portion of her extensive scientific review’s abstract:

“Vaccine mRNA-carrying lipid nanoparticles spread after injection throughout the body according to available animal studies and vaccine mRNA (naked or in nanoparticles or in natural exosomes) is found in the bloodstream as well as vaccine spike in free form or encapsulated in exosomes (shown in human studies). Lipid nanoparticles (or their natural equivalent, exosomes or extracellular vesicles (EVs)) have been shown to be able to be excreted through body fluids (sweat, sputum, breast milk) and to pass the transplacental barrier. These EVs are also able to penetrate by inhalation and through the skin (healthy or injured) as well as orally through breast milk (and why not during sexual intercourse through semen, as this has not been studied). It is urgent to enforce the legislation on gene therapy that applies to mRNA vaccines and to carry out studies on this subject while the generalization of mRNA vaccines is being considered.”

Two prominent cardiologists have advised no one to take or booster any more COVID-19 injections.¹⁷ In an Epoch TV interview Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Aseem Malhotra told the interviewers the following:

“the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have done more harm to the public than good. A large percentage of patients have been injured by the mRNA vaccines, with harms including a broad range of injuries to the heart.”

 “Roughly 15 percent of people who have taken the vaccines are damaged by them,” McCullough said during a recent dual interview with Malhotra for Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” program. McCullough is one of the most published cardiologists in America and chief scientific officer of The Wellness Company.

“I think all cardiovascular conditions have got worse because of the vaccine, and anything and everything that can go wrong with the heart has gone wrong with the heart as a result of this mRNA vaccine,” added Malhotra, who has written extensively on reversing heart disease through lifestyle changes.

“The part of the virus that causes the heart damage is called the spike protein,” said McCullough.

Myocarditis is one of the more common injuries caused when the patient gets a high dose of spike protein with the shot, the doctors said, so the claim by the mainstream medical establishment that the risk of myocarditis is greater without the vaccine is false.

“There is a risk for traditional cardiovascular events because of this big inflammatory incident the body gets with COVID respiratory illness, but there is a small negligible risk of myocarditis with COVID, the respiratory infection, probably because the body doesn’t get this massive exposure to the spike protein, as it does with the vaccines,” said McCullough.

In addition, there is no evidence to support the claim by the drug industry that mild infection with COVID-19 or the omicron variant is causing sudden death, said Malhotra.”

While other experts are saying to the public that mRNA injections are safe and generate few adverse reactions, these physicians are warning that 15% of those receiving COVID virus spike protein coded modified mRNA are damaged by the injection.

I for one trust the practitioners working in the field with patients every day.  I would bet most everyone reading my summary knows someone in their family or community that has suffered an event after receiving the transformed mRNA coded for the spike protein of the COVID virus.   I know of several myself.

With so much conflicting information, and the attempts by the media to repress information and gaslight those with a differing opinion or concern, is it not at least sensible for consumers to know where their food comes from and if it has been contaminated with modified mRNA?

I think so!
