Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is conducting field trials of bird flu vaccines for dairy cows. On August 28, 2024, his Center for Veterinary Biologics announced a huge change to the way the U.S. Department of Agriculture tests new livestock vaccines. It used to be that livestock vaccine studies were only conducted in laboratories. Now, for the first time ever, vaccine studies are happening “outside of containment without terminal disposal of milk and other commodities.” In other words, the vaccine “trial” is happening on commercial farms and the milk is going right into the food supply! These are Genetically Modified mRNA vaccines, which have unique implications for food safety. A traditional vaccine puts a weakened or inactivated virus into the body. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccines use mRNA that’s genetically engineered in a laboratory to teach the body’s cells how to make a viral protein. Will the genetically engineered mRNA or the viral protein produced by the cows’ cells end up in the milk? Scientists who studied how the COVID-19 vaccines changed breast milk found that it can. In fact, some scientists have even proposed using cows’ milk for oral vaccination, because cows’ milk is an ideal delivery mechanism for genetically engineered mRNA
