Regulators Ignore The Safety And Ethical Issues Of Gene-Edited Crops And Livestock

 Not all genetic technologies used in veterinary medicine fall under the categories of "mRNA vaccines" or "mRNA gene therapies." There are other terms to look out for.

What Are the Different Terms Used for DNA or RNA-Based Veterinary Biologics? Not all genetic technologies used in veterinary medicine fall under the categories of "mRNA vaccines" or "mRNA gene therapies." There are other terms to look out for when it comes to genetic technologies for veterinary medicine.

As for AgriLab's ExactVac DNA technology, "The vaccine is produced by splicing a gene for a specific antigen" into "a bacterial plasmid" which "Is then multiplied, purified and administered" for "Delivery into target cells, where antigens produced by the plasmid elicit an immune response."

In 2020, Huvepharma's DNA-based vaccine platform for pigs received USDA approval as a "Prescription platform product" so that the "Manufacturer may update the gene insert in this vaccine under expedited procedures to respond to emerging needs." Huvepharma's DNA-based swine vaccine platform has conditional licensing as a prescription product on APHIS's most recent list of approved veterinary biological products.

Is It Possible for mRNA Vaccines in Livestock to Contaminate Meat, Dairy or Egg Products? According to a recent Epoch Times report, a 2014 USDA presentation on 'Vaccination for Contagious Diseases' states that food animals receiving vaccines are subject to "Mandatory withdrawal periods before slaughter for human consumption. Animals may not be sent to market until the withdrawal time has elapsed. During the mandatory withdrawal time, vaccinated animals or products from vaccinated animals may not enter the food chain. The withdrawal time is determined by the country in which the vaccine is licensed and stated in the product license."

Dr. Peter McCullough has warned that developers of novel vaccine technologies for veterinary medicine are "Blinded with infatuation for molecular biology and have lost sight of biological product safety in the food supply" adding that they have failed to acknowledge the "Possibility of collateral impact to humans."

A 2013 Agricultural Marketing Service document states that "Organic livestock must be: Produced without genetic engineering." However, the same document goes on to say that "Only a few drugs, such as vaccines, are allowed" for organically raised livestock.
