Vaccines in your salad? Scientists growing medicine-filled plants to replace injections

Researchers at the University of California-Riverside are working on a way to grow edible plants that carry the same medication as an mRNA vaccine.

Thanks to a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, researchers are now looking accomplish three goals. First, the team will try to successfully deliver DNA containing mRNA vaccines into plant cells, where they can replicate. Next, the study authors want to show that plants can actually produce enough mRNA to replace a traditional injection. Finally, the team will need to determine the right dosage people will need to eat to properly replace vaccinations.

Giraldo and a team of scientists from UC-San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University say the key to making edible vaccines are chloroplasts. These are small organs inside plant cells which help convert sunlight into energy.

Previous studies have shown that it’s possible for chloroplasts to express genes which are not a natural part of that plant. Giraldo’s team accomplished this by sending genetic material inside of a protective casing into plant cells.

In the new study, Giraldo teamed with UC-San Diego’s Professor Nicole Steinmetz to use nanotechnology to deliver more genetic material into chloroplasts.

So if you eat two salads, you overdose?

Liked the “better watch out” ditty. Very good.

I already skip the salad bar because of e-coli and hepatitis. This is why you eat beef. Pounded into tenderness with a hammer, breaded and fried, covered in cream gravy.

The hell with consent? It’s like date rape, for globalists.

Stop messing with genes. How much of our money was given to these jerks in a grant?

Oh, I was being sarcastic, I guess there are no downsides if you are a totalitarian globalist stooge.

For everyone else this is terrible news. They will ruin health and nature in one go.

Looks like Musk is ten years too late.

Laws only apply to the servant class. The law does not apply to the elite class.

The elite class is certainly acting this way. At least some of them.

Yes, and I’m surprised they haven’t already done this with chem trails.

Um, I think the “rule of law” is pretty much out the window at this point.

At this point, that scene may be prophetic.

not mentioned in the article - the largest private owner of farmland in the US is Bill Gates.

I saw a video someone played a while ago - nerdy guy that looked like Gates making a presentation to a shadowy group about all the ways they could introduce vaxx to people - food products was one of them.
