Missouri House Bill 1169 has prompted the US to announce a task force to conduct a fact and science-based assessment of the issue of mRNA vaccines for cattle.
The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association is responding to a bill in Missouri that is getting a lot of national attention.
Missouri House Bill 1169 would regulate products sold, distributed, or administered to a person that are designed to alter their genome. It attempts to implement a regulatory framework for labeling products that could act as “gene therapy” or potentially impact, alter, or introduce genetic material or a genetic change in the user.
The bill came about because of concerns that mRNA vaccines are being introduced into the nation’s cattle supply.
The states considering legislation to introduce controversial mRNA technology targeting livestock include North Dakota, Tennessee, Arizona, Idaho, and Missouri.
