Covid-19 vaccines have weakened the anti-GMO movement
Irish Times ^ | Jun 22, 2021 | William Reville

Environmental groups opposed to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been very influential for a considerable time and capable of raising large public protests. But the anti-GMO movement is now in decline as the EU and various influential environmental organisations begin to cautiously welcome selected genetically engineered organisms.

Genetic technology powered development of Covid-19 vaccines. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, based on RNA molecules carrying genetic information for the synthesis of the “spike protein” of the Sars-CoV-2 virus that enables this virus to enter cells.

When the mRNA, enclosed in an artificial membrane, is injected into your arm the mRNA prompts cells near the injection site to make the spike protein. This trains your immune system to make antibodies and T-cells that will inactivate the Sars-CoV-2 virus if it infects you later.

The AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson and Sputnik V vaccines are fully “genetically engineered”.

They use a “viral vector”, an adenovirus – a type of virus that causes the common cold – to carry the vaccine into your cells. The adenovirus genome is stripped of any genes that might harm you and the Sars-CoV-2 spike protein genetic sequence is then spliced into the adenovirus genome.


GMO corn and soybeans bad GMO humans good. The hypocrisy of the left is totally exposed here. You non vaccinated folks can go to the produce section of the store, remove one of those non-GMO stickers from an orange and put it on your forehead. If your vaccinated friends look a little weedy you can spray them with Round-Up and it won't hurt them.

The left just got bought off by Big Pharma.

Easy Peasy.

the left does many things, most things wrong, but let us quit blaming them for what our side has done. it will never get better until we hold our own side responsible for what they do. https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-modernizing-regulatory-framework-agricultural-biotechnology-products/

I agree that both sides are equally guilty.

See my tagline.

It’s hard to see when you’re in the middle of something how it will end. I think when the results of the vaccine are available to everyone it may be the end of GMOs.
