In February 2024, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed bill HB1894 on food labeling. The bill “prohibits the manufacture, sale, or delivery, holding, or offering for sale of any food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material unless the food labeling contains a conspicuous notification of the presence of the vaccine or vaccine material in the food”.
The bill was heavily criticized by house members and media questioning its necessity.
What is the truth about Edible Vaccines?
The first edible vaccine research was conducted by bioengineers at Cornell University in 1997. Researchers used genetically engineered potatoes to vaccinate mice against hepatitis B. The research was continued by a plethora of various institutions and there are currently edible vaccines for several human and animal diseases under development. Foods primarily used in these studies include potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, lettuce, spinach, corn, rice, and carrots.
The World Economic Forum published an article in December 2020 titled, "3 Scenarios for how Bioengineering Could Change Our World in 10 Years." The article states that a potential scenario within the next 10 years is "citizens are vaccinated by consuming edible vaccines in plants and Phage therapy is used as an alternative to antibiotic treatment, tackling antimicrobial resistance that has been identified as a potential global catastrophic risk."
In 2024 the National Library of Medicine published an article stating, "A vaccine incorporates the gene-encoding bacterial or viral disease-causing agent in plants without losing its immunogenic property. Potatoes, tomatoes, rice, soybeans, and bananas are the primary plants for edible vaccines... Moreover, edible vaccine patents represent a cutting-edge area of biotechnology, where the integration of genetic material into edible substances holds great promise for revolutionizing vaccination methods. These patents aim to harness the potential of plants and other edibles to stimulate immune responses, offering a potential alternative to traditional injectable vaccines."
These vaccines have been under development for decades. The usage of harmful chemicals being introduced for human ingestion unbeknownst to average citizens is not foreign to the US government. It's not a question whether or not this technology, or these vaccines exist. It is only a question of when they will be rolled out to the population, and if they have in fact, already been used in our food supply.
