GM corn set to stop man spreading his seed
The Guardian ^ | 9/09/2021 | Robin McKie

Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation. The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm. By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in corn plants, the company has created tiny horticultural factories that make contraceptives. 'We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies,' said Epicyte president Mitch Hein.

More abomination. The pollen will escape the hothouse just like the batflu escaped Wuhan.

Waiving fields of maize

I'll gladly waive fields of maize; but I'll never give up my good ol' corn.

And, they learned nothing from Wuhan.

There are some mistakes that are so obvious, that only really educated people are tempted to make them.

The only thing corn is good for is tracking one’s digestive process.

If genocide is the deliberate elimination of a ethnic group, what is the elimination of ALL ethnic groups, all of humanity?

OK, it may be hypocritical of me to find this to be evil, since I never had any children, but it is another Bill Gates - Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum- Georgia Guidestones scheme to destroy most of humanity and make the remainder slaves to the elites.

Like the Monsanto GMO corn, I’m sure that this will escape the fields where it is being grown and attack / modify the heritage corn crops, and spread around the world like a virus.

Kinda like Covid and the covid ‘vaccines’. And for the same purpose.
