Tell the USDA to Keep Livestock Vaccine Trials in the Lab & Out of Our Food!

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is conducting field trials of bird flu vaccines for dairy cows.

On August 28, 2024, his Center for Veterinary Biologics announced a huge change to the way the U.S. Department of Agriculture tests new livestock vaccines. 

It used to be that livestock vaccine studies were only conducted in laboratories. Now, for the first time ever, vaccine studies are happening "outside of containment without terminal disposal of milk and other commodities.” In other words, the vaccine trials are happening on commercial farms and the milk is going right into the food supply!

These are genetically engineered mRNA vaccines, which have unique implications for food safety. A traditional vaccine puts a weakened or inactivated virus into the body. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccines use mRNA that's genetically engineered in a laboratory to teach the body's cells how to make a viral protein. Will the GMO mRNA or the viral protein produced by the cows' cells end up in the milk? Scientists who studied how the COVID-19 vaccines changed breast milk found that it can. In fact, some scientists have even proposed using cows' milk for oral vaccination, because cows' milk is an ideal delivery mechanism for GMO mRNA.

This battle to stop GMO mRNA vaccines for dairy cows is similar to our fight to get Monsanto's rbGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) out of the food system. Approved for use in 1993, rbGH was the first GMO in the food supply. Given to cows to make them overproduce milk, rbGH caused cows' udders to swell to unnatural proportions and get more frequent infections. The composition of the milk changed with rbGH, increasing levels of IGF-1, a growth factor linked to cancer. Widespread consumer rejection of rBGH milk led to the popularity of organic and non-GMO milk. By 2014, only 9.7 percent of U.S. dairy operations were using rbGH. We beat back rbGH. We can stop GMO mRNA vaccines, too!

When cows get GMO mRNA shots, what ends up in the milk? If GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles end up in the milk, can the milk then “vaccinate” someone who drinks it? 

Studies of breast milk tell us that GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles enter the mammary glands via the bloodstream or lymphatic system and end up in the milk. 

Researchers at New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine wanted to understand “the systemic distribution of vaccine mRNA during lactation and whether it is excreted in human breast milk.” They published their findings in the Lancet article “Biodistribution of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in human breast milk,” in 2023. 

They observed that COVID-19 vaccine mRNA is not confined to the injection site but spreads systemically and is packaged into the extracellular vesicles of breast milk. Extracellular vesicles are natural lipid nanoparticles. Extracellular vesicles are how cells package substances for transfer to other cells. Breast milk’s extracellular vehicles are the way mothers transfer all the good stuff in breast milk to their babies. There are so many different RNA sequences, proteins, and glycopeptides packaged in breast milk’s extracellular vehicles that scientists are only beginning to catalogue and understand them all.  

The fact that COVID-19 vaccine mRNA can hijack extracellular vesicles is very disturbing. 

The “Biodistribution” study involved only 13 breastfeeding women and didn't include data on the concentration of GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles in the shots they received. As everyone who has investigated COVID-19 vaccine injuries knows, there has been a wide variation in the lethality of the vaccine batches, which may be due to GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticle concentration. 

The “Biodistribution” authors found that the “vaccine mRNA integrity was reduced to 12–25%” by the time it reached the breastmilk. Only trace quantities of GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles were found in the breastmilk and none after 48 hours post-vaccination. “Nevertheless, since the minimum mRNA vaccine dose to elicit an immune reaction in infants <6 months is unknown,” the researchers cautioned, “a dialogue between a breastfeeding mother and her healthcare provider should address the benefit/risk considerations of breastfeeding in the first two days after maternal vaccination.” 

To see if the extracellular vesicles carrying GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles had the potential to provoke babies’ cells to express the COVID-19 spike protein, they exposed HT-29 cells. These are derived from colon cancer tumors and are commonly used to study intestinal cells. Vaccine mRNA-positive extracellular vesicles did not induce spike protein expression in HT-29 cells.

The researchers used cord blood mononuclear cells to see what level of GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticles would elicit spike protein production. They found that concentrations of “1:10^3 and not 1:10^6 vaccine mRNA dilution induced S protein expression in CBMCs.” 

We can presume that with the COVID-19 shots, exposure of babies to the residues of their mothers’ vaccine is an inadvertent side effect of the shot, but that might not always be the case. 

Scientists have discovered that cows' milk is an ideal way to deliver mRNA. Researchers at the Tingo Exosomes Technology and Regenerative Medicine Technology companies in China are developing an oral GMO mRNA COVID-19 vaccine using cows’ milk. They published their early results in 2022 on bioRxiv, “An oral vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA-bovine milk-derived exosomes induces a neutralizing antibody response in vivo.” 

Cows’ milk contains phospholipid packets called exosomes that are an ideal delivery mechanism for oral GMO mRNA vaccines. The Tingo scientists showed that cows’ milk can be used to immunize mice, demonstrating that GMO mRNA injections can turn food into “vaccines.” When the mice in the Tingo experiement drank cows' milk loaded with GMO mRNA-filled exosomes, their gastrointestinal tracts absorbed the exosomes and they produced antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. 

Putting these two studies together, we can see how GMO mRNA lipid nanoparticle injected cows might create milk carrying viable GMO mRNA instructions to our cells to produce toxins like the spike protein. 

There are way too many questions about how GMO mRNA shots work to do field trials on commercial dairy farms while letting the cows' milk enter the food supply!

Dear Dr. Geetha Srinivas, Director, Center for Veterinary Biologics,

I have concerns about the current field trials of bird flu vaccines for dairy cows.

On August 28, 2024, the Center for Veterinary Biologics announced a huge change to the way the U.S. Department of Agriculture tests new livestock vaccines. 

It used to be that livestock vaccine studies were conducted only in laboratories. Now, for the first time ever, vaccine studies were happening "outside of containment without terminal disposal of milk and other commodities.” In other words, the vaccine trials are happening on commercial dairy farms and the milk is going right into the food supply! 

These are mRNA vaccines, which have unique implications for food safety. A traditional vaccine puts a weakened or inactivated virus into the body. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA vaccines use mRNA genetically engineered in a laboratory to teach the body's cells how to make a viral protein. Will the genetically engineered mRNA or the viral protein produced by the cows' cells end up in the milk? Scientists who studied how the COVID-19 vaccines changed breast milk found that it can. In fact, some scientists have even proposed using cows' milk for oral vaccination, because cows' milk is an ideal delivery mechanism for genetically engineered mRNA.

Please keep livestock vaccine trials in the lab and out of our food!

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
