Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines became a household term during the COVID-19 pandemic. But many are unaware that these experimental shots may be used in livestock intended for food.
Concerns that mRNA injections could end up “in the global protein supply chain” prompted warnings from cattle producers and calls for mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) so consumers can choose meat from countries that don’t allow mRNA shots in meat animals.1 Backlash quickly ensued, with media spinning a familiar tune and trying to paint the valid concerns as “conspiracy theories,” “fearmongering” and “misinformation.”2
Cattle Groups Calls for Caution Over mRNA in Beef
In an April 2023 news release, Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA), a nonprofit that represents interests of independent U.S. cattle producers, shared concerns about the use of mRNA shots in meat animals.
Max Thornsberry, DVM, R-CALF’s animal health committee chair, met with medial doctors and a molecular biologist before briefing the R-CALF USA board:3
“Thornsberry reported that some researchers have found that mRNA and its coded virus is likely passed from an injected human to a noninjected human, and to humans who have consumed dairy products or meat from an mRNA-injected animal.
He said that because the research on mRNA is still in its infancy, no one really knows the full impact it has on either humans or animals, particularly its long-term impact. He said this itself warrants more extensive mRNA research focused on safety, heightened public vigilance, and greater transparency.”
In a commentary, R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard also urged caution regarding mRNA injections, stating:4
“It’s not a vaccine as we typically understand vaccines. So, for the rest of this discussion, I’ll refer to it as an injection. It’s an injection of a laboratory-produced substance into humans or livestock that is coded with a particular virus, such as COVID-19, that produces an immune response against the particular virus.
And what does mRNA do? Well, it hijacks living cells, tricking them into producing some level of immunity against human viruses like COVID-19 and livestock viruses such as foot-and-mouth disease or lumpy skin disease. It does this by rewriting the instructions from the body’s DNA. And what are the potential risks to humans and livestock?
The truthful answer is we don’t yet know the long-term effects of mRNA injections in either humans or livestock.
… There is great concern that living cells excrete the mRNA over time and the mRNA can then be transferred to animals and humans that have never received the mRNA injection. It is believed, for example, that humans can contact mRNA by eating meat from livestock that have received the injection.
The reason mRNA is an issue today is that pharmaceutical firms have found that it takes very little of it to hijack a cell, and it can be produced cheaper than typical virus vaccines.”
mRNA Persists in the Body, Absorbed Through Stomach
Proponents have argued that mRNA is “removed by normal cellular mechanisms” and therefore wouldn’t be present in meat intended for consumption. Dr. Penny Riggs, associate research professor of functional genetics at Texas A&M, stated, “The estimate is that half of the mRNA from a vaccine is gone in about 20 hours, and completely destroyed within a few days.”5
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
But Thornsberry cited6 one study, published in Biomedicines, that found mRNA from injections can be detected in blood 15 days post-shot.7
Another study found “full-length or traces of SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine sequences” in blood up to 28 days post-injection,8 while another revealed “abundant spike protein in GCs [germinal centers in lymph nodes] 16 days post-second dose, with spike antigen still present as late as 60 days post-second dose” of mRNA COVID-19 shots.9
As for whether mRNA could potentially be absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract, after consuming tainted meat, 2022 research demonstrated just that, finding “orally dosed milli-injector capsules enable nucleic acid delivery to swine stomachs.”10
The study, published in the journal Matter, further stated, “Evidence from small and large animal studies demonstrates that this form of administration enables both gastric and systemic uptake and transfection.”11 Other concerns raised by Thornsberry include mRNA shedding and gene editing. He told R-CALF:12
Don’t just survive — THRIVE! Prepper All-Naturals has freeze-dried steaks for long-term storage. Don’t wait for food shortages to get worse. Stock up today. Use promo code “jdr” at checkout for 25% off!
“A recent review paper13 written by Helene Banoun, a pharmacist biologist from France, raises alarms about the shedding of COVID-19 coded mRNA from vaccinated to unvaccinated close associates. Banoun is quoted as stating, ‘Vaccine mRNA-carrying lipid nanoparticles spread after injection throughout the body according to available animal studies and vaccine mRNA … is found in the bloodstream …’
Based on her findings, Banoun stated, ‘It is urgent to enforce the legislation on gene therapy that applies to mRNA vaccines and to carry out studies on this subject while the generalization of mRNA vaccines is being considered.’
… Swedish researchers published in Current Issues Molecular Biology14 … their findings that directly dispute the claim that mRNA injections do not enter the nucleus of the cell where our DNA (genetic material) is located.
While their study was performed utilizing liver cancer cells in culture, within 6 hours of exposing the liver cells to COVID-19 spike antigen coded mRNA, reverse transcription occurred, placing the mRNA carried genetic code into the nuclear DNA of the cells.”
Industry Attacks mRNA Shot Concerns as ‘Conspiracy Theories’
In response to R-CALF’s warnings, Drovers, “the nation’s oldest livestock publication,” published an article titled, ‘mRNA Conspiracy Theories: Ranch Group Offers ‘Fearmongering’ and ‘Misinformation.’15 It’s the same old story we saw throughout the pandemic. If it goes against the standard narrative, label it “misinformation” and try to discredit its source, via name-calling, reputation destruction or whatever means necessary.
Drovers cited Riggs, who called R-CALF’s press releases “fearmongering and misinformation” and stated, “No food safety risk exists for meat from animals that have received any vaccination” and “mRNA from a vaccine will NOT be passed along in meat.”16 In response, R-CALF wrote:17
“With so many unknowns, just how should a responsible ranch group respond amidst this ongoing battle between scientific experts regarding the short and long-term safety of mRNA injections for cattle?
Should we simply trust the pharmaceutical companies and the government as Riggs suggests when she advised that ‘we should be celebrating the advances in technology that enable more precise and effective strategies for ensuring animal health and well-being in order to continue producing the nutritious and safe meat, milk, and other animal source products that sustain life and good health’?
R-CALF USA disagrees. Instead, we intend to learn the truth by continuing to disclose differing scientific findings, seeking more research into the long-term effects of mRNA injections for cattle, and demanding more transparency from pharmaceutical companies and the government.”
mRNA Shots Already Used in Pigs — Cattle Are Likely Next
While the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association states “there are no current mRNA vaccines licensed for use in beef cattle in the United States,”18 the key missing word is “yet.” In October 2021, Iowa State University began a study on “Novel mRNA Vaccine Technology for Prevention of Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus,” with a project end date of September 30, 2026.19
“Our overall goal is to test a novel mRNA system for inducing immunological protection from bovine RSV infection,” the team explained. “… Here, we will optimize our vaccine further and then test for potential correlates of protection to examine for in eventually challenged cows.”20
Don’t wait for a stock market crash, dedollarization, or CBDCs before securing your retirement with physical precious metals. Genesis Gold Group can help.
So, while critics suggest it’s pointless to worry over mRNA in cattle, since no such shot has been approved, “It would be naïve not to assume that such a research project signals an effort to obtain approval for mRNA injections in U.S. cattle,” R-CALF noted.21
“It [mRNA] is being used in humans as a means of controlling COVID-19. It is also being used under limited conditions for swine. But it has not yet been approved in the United States for cattle,” R-CALF’s Bullard added.22
More Reasons to Avoid Eating Pork
However, the first RNA-based livestock vaccine, a swine influenza (H3N2) RNA shot developed by Harrisvaccines was licensed in 2012.23 The company followed up with an avian influenza mRNA shot in 2015.24 Harrisvaccines was acquired by Merck Animal Health later that year.25
Further, since 2018, pork producers have been using customizable mRNA-based “vaccines” on their herds — and this has slipped completely under the radar.26 This issue really only rose to the surface after attorney Tom Renz started promoting new legislation in Missouri (House Bill 1169,27 which he helped write) that would require labeling of mRNA products.28 In an April 1, 2023, tweet that was, unfortunately, not an April Fool’s joke, Renz stated:29
“BREAKING NEWS: the lobbyists for the cattleman and pork associations in several states have CONFIRMED they WILL be using mRNA vaccines in pigs and cows THIS MONTH. WE MUST SUPPORT MISSOURI HB1169. It is LITERALLY the ONLY chance we have to prevent this … NO ONE knows the impacts of doing this but we are all potentially facing the risk of being a #DiedSuddenly if we don’t stop this.”
The pushback by industry against this bill has been enormous, which should tell you something. It doesn’t ban anything; it only requires transparency. That, apparently, is a serious threat to industry, and the most obvious reason for that is because they’d have to admit that all sorts of foods can have gene altering effects.
In the meantime, I recommend avoiding all pork products, including organic ones, as they not only have high levels of the omega-6 fat, linoleic acid, because of the grains they are fed, but virtually all have been contaminated with the mRNA vaccines for the past five years.
Calls for Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling
In addition to calling for support of HB1169, R-CALF is calling for mandatory country of origin labels — under the American Beef Labeling Act, S.52, so consumers know where the beef they’re eating came from.
“We understand that mRNA is in use or about to be in use in cattle in foreign countries, Australia, New Zealand and China have been mentioned. We understand that China is injecting mRNA coded for the spike protein in the COVID-19 virus into dairy cows for the purpose of exposing consumers of dairy products to the mRNA,” Bullard said.30 He further explained:31
“Even though the United States has not approved mRNA injections in cattle, if we import beef from countries where such injections are allowed, then it’s possible that the meat from those animals are making their way into U.S. grocery stores. But people have no way of knowing where the meat was produced because Congress repealed the law that once required country of origin labels on all beef sold in grocery stores.
This is why people should contact their congressional delegations to urge them to enact mandatory country of origin labeling, or MCOOL, so they can begin choosing whether to purchase beef from a foreign country where mRNA injections are being given to cattle and other livestock. Only with mandatory country of origin labeling can consumers distinguish from which country their beef was produced.”

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.
Note: The information provided by this publication or any related communications is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. We do not provide personalized investment, financial, or legal advice.
Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
There’s simply no sane reason to give mRNA to animals that are a major part of the food chain. mRNA kills people. That’s all you need to know.
Caution?!!! screw caution! this crap should be outright BANNED and was until the Covid scamdemic. The only reason the Beef industry is urging caution (vs outrage) is that they are scared about what the USDA and FDA will do to them if the speak out against vile mRNA in the food system.
Grass-fed cows need no drugs/hormones/BS in their dietary regimen… they need grass and water. That’s it!
Until folks STOP THIS THEMSELVES? No murderous weapon against us will cease. Its mind boggling that in a 2nd Amendment country w/ half a BILLION means of self defense? No action to protect the public is ever taken. WTF good is a 2nd amendment w/ a nation of Eunuchs too scared & cowardly to defend itself? Unbelievable, Its just decades of endless videos, ‘warnings’ and alerts. with zero achieved.
J. D., Dr. Joseph Mercola has no definitive proof that humans can get those spike proteins from eating meat. This is all just more GD hysteria. When humans eat meat their digestive tracks destroy those proteins BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO OUR BODIES.
Take a read on this: https://www.factcheck.org/2021/07/scicheck-meme-spreads-falsehood-about-vaccine-transfer/
I am amazed that Mercola would promote such stupidity which if kept up could destroy meat consumption in the United States, which is decidedly not a good idea for many obvious reasons. AGAIN, your gut’s microbiome will destroy those proteins.
If you would just turn to Jesus, he would cure you. Tell me who is it that this fact check website gets its funding, who do you get your funding from? Its your DNA theyre trying to alter too as you are not a member of the bloodline, are you? Disgusting to say the least.
This is the JackAssery that we saw from everyone touting “Trust the Science” forcing us to take novelty vaccines. Later, we find out that we are at risk of a multitude of vaccine related injuries. Caution over potentially harmful products added to our food is labeled “conspiracy theory”. Really? You must have something to gain from this.
Just trust Jesus and you wont ever have to face uncomfortable reality or take responsibility. Jesus will just take it all away, like pulling a slot machine.
Russia was colluding with Trump… you forgot that one, too.
All this stuff has been debunked. That you are on here spewing old news like it were new is proof that you are either Andrew Borla or a dupe. Take your pick.
It’s been deemed a bioweapon by many countries and parts of the US. It is ineffective and dangerous. Why would you stick livestock with it? Only reason is the hope it gets into humans thru consumption. Anyone pushing this and injecting animals is a terrorist. They better not act surprised when they are treated as such by the populace.
The Globalist want us all dead by any and every mean possible. The bioweapon vax didnt depopulate enough
humans for their NWO thus they continue their evil by which any means is viable to reach the intended end game.
Phase Two now in progress 2023 by 2030 You will own nothing and be happy.
They’re just trying to murder as many people as possible while pretending they aren’t. They really think we are that stupid. I honestly believe they thought the introduction of the internet years ago would not have resulted in millions researching and reading up on the “elites.” They thought we would all just be obsessed with entertainment and porn (hence all the bills now to censor the internet). They are trying to kill us, so we naturally have every right to stop them with any means necessary.
They dont care if we know or are stupid. Because they also know -accurately – that we will DO NOTHING to stop them.
