Will mRNA injections protect animals from foot and mouth disease?
A risky experiment by the NSW Government is about to begin
Recently, the NSW Government announced that they signed an agreement with Tiba Biotech to fast-track an mRNA injection for Foot-and-mouth disease. [1] Interestingly, Tiba has received $97,750 worth of funding from the Gates Foundation for 3 months. [2]
The press release claimed that mRNA injections were safer than traditional vaccines. It reads: “mRNA vaccines are cheaper and quicker to produce, highly effective and very safe. Because they are fully synthetic and do not require any animal or microbial products, they do not carry with them the same risks as traditionally derived vaccines.”
It continued: “This type of vaccine technology may not require the longer testing and approval processes required for conventional vaccine development and importation as it does not use animal products,” Mr Strong said.”
This claim is misleading because mRNA gene therapy does not have long-term safety data.
Low Death Rate
According to the University of Melbourne, FMD is a disease with a relatively low rate of mortality in animals:
“Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) affects livestock, including cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, but also other cloven-hoofed animals like camels and deer. It’s caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus—FMDV. This is a highly infectious virus that’s hardy in the environment.
While the disease is unpleasant, causing blisters on the tongue, around the mouth and on the hoofs, and affects livestock productivity, mortality is relatively low in adult animals.” [3]
Why Are Nutritional Treatments Being Ignored?
Research on nutritional interventions for FMD has shown some promise. For example:
“Results revealed differences in term of healing of lesions between the four groups and the clinical signs were quite prompt among sheep in group C which received zinc, Vitamin E and Selenium with the symptomatic treatment of the FMD than other three groups, so its use as an antioxidants supplementation could be used to enhance the reduction and treatment of clinical signs of FMD infection in sheep, although it had no effect on humeral immunity nor viral shedding.” [4]
It is unlikely that mRNA gene therapy will magically protect animals from FMD, considering there is already a low incidence of this condition in Australia. According to Michael Curtis, a Senior Agricultural Analyst: “Australia is free of FMD has not had a case of the disease since 1872.” [5]
Predictably, as with Covid, nutritional interventions for FMD has been deliberately ignored to push the mRNA gene therapy products.
Unanswered Questions
It is clear that the NSW Government is now using Covid mRNA shots as an excuse to push the mRNA gene therapy platform as being safe for animal use. Why is it promoted as “safe and effective” before the research has even begun?
Considering that the mRNA injections have systematic effects on the whole body of the animal, will it pose a health hazard for humans to be eating meat that has been drugged with mRNA gene therapy drugs?
It is likely that some traces of the mRNA gene therapy will go into the milk supply of the female animals as well.
