Edible vaccines: Current status and future

http://www.ijmm.org/article.asp?issn...102;aulast=Lal


Here is a fascinating article (2007) about how this is done. The research already confirmed is interesting from a botanic/medical point of view. I can understand the hopeful logic behind this utopian and "easy" vaccine research, but it does have it's "but"s and "if"s. Especially when in the hands of the PTB. See this part just before the conclusion:

~ The Future of Edible Vaccines


The future of edible vaccines may be affected by resistance to GM foods, which was reflected when Zambia refused GM maize in food aid from the United States despite the threat of famine. [55] Transgenic contamination is unavoidable. Besides pollen, transgenes may spread horizontally by sucking insects, transfer to soil microbes during plant wounding/breakdown of roots/rootlets and may pollute surface and ground water. [56] Recently, a GM corn approved only for animal consumption appeared in human foods. It was found growing from seeds left behind from the previous plantings. Quarantine done to prevent any further spread caused monetary loss, penalties and possible criminal charges for alleged violation of the permit to grow the gene-altered crops. [55] This incident shows failure at an elementary level. Overall, transgenic contamination has cost the United States approximately $12 billion. Before endorsing such vaccines for human use, the WHO's concerns of quality assurance, efficacy and environmental impact need to be addressed and GM crops in greenhouse facilities should be rigidly controlled and they need to be surrounded by protective buffer crops. GM crops have not been able to significantly increase yield or reduce herbicide/pesticide use, as proposed. In a few cases, the instability of transgenic lines and transgene inactivation have led to major crop failures. Dangerous/harmful gene products or potent immunogens/allergens may also be incorporated. Some are reported to produce side effects - for example, cytokines induce sickness and CNS toxicity; a-interferon causes dementia, neurotoxicity, mood/cognitive changes, etc. Terminator crops with "suicide" genes for male sterility, as a means of "containing" the spread of transgenes, actually spread both male sterile suicide genes as well as herbicide tolerance genes via pollen. Emerging multiple herbicide-tolerant volunteers and weeds (super weeds) and biotech-resistant pests demand the use of highly toxic herbicides (atrazine, glufosinate ammonium, glyphosate). [57]

Few credible studies are there on the safety of GM foods. An investigation on GM foods showing 'growth factor'-like effects in the stomach and small intestine of young rats was not followed up to see whether CaMV-35S promoter was responsible for this. This promoter is present in most commercially grown GM crops today and is especially unstable and prone to horizontal gene transfer, recombination or mutations by random insertion. Random insertion of genes can destabilize the genomes of its plant and animal hosts and the effects could ricochet through the neighboring ecosystem. By facilitating horizontal gene transfer/recombination, genetic engineering may contribute to emergence and re-emergence of infectious, drug-resistant diseases, rise of autoimmune diseases, cancers and reactivation of dormant viruses. Bacteria may take up transgenic DNA in food in human gut. Antibiotic resistance marker genes can spread from transgenic food to pathogenic bacteria, making infections very difficult to treat. Minor genetic changes in pathogens can result in dramatic changes in host spectrum and disease-causing potentials and inadvertently plants may become their unintentional reservoirs. There is also the risk of creating altogether new strains of infectious agents, like super viruses. By DNA shuffling, geneticists can create in a matter of minutes in the laboratory, millions of recombinant viruses that have never existed in billions of years of evolution. This may be misused for the intentional creation of bio-weapons. Genetic engineering is inherently hazardous because it involves creating vectors/carriers specifically designed to cross wide species barriers, like between plant and animal kingdoms and transferring genes by overcoming their defense mechanisms which are physiologically operative against such genetic assaults. [58] Inadvertent birth of a Frankenstein would result in unmitigated disaster. Naked DNA vaccines are perhaps the riskiest, as these short pieces of DNA are readily taken up by cells of all species and may become integrated into the cell's genome material. Unlike chemical pollutants, these small DNA fragments can multiply and mutate indefinitely. Feeding GM products like maize to animals may also carry risks, not just for the animals but also for human beings consuming the animal products. The ecological and environmental risks of edible vaccines need to be considered. It is still a very crude science and has a long way to go before it will be ready for large-scale testing in people for combating infectious diseases and for autoimmunity.

What Seashore didn't post about disguised contraceptive vaccines mixed with other vaccines, I will. This refers to the same souce as Seashore previously indicated.This (see below) is ABUSE, and it burns me up!

On November 4, 1996 the publication Vaccine Weekly carried an article titled “Study Suggests Women Were Injected with Contaminated Tetanus Vaccine.” The article details an investigation that was carried out by the Philippine Medical Association into the discovery of hCG in tetanus vaccines. Similar incidents have also occurred in Thailand.

Further evidence is found in a 1995 BBC documentary titled “The Human Laboratory”. The film covered the Philippines Tetanus hCG controversy in depth. The transcript for the program states,

NARRATOR: There are several research programmes around the world testing the contraceptive vaccine linked to tetanus which creates an immune response. The vaccine contains Beta HCG, part of a hormone necessary for pregnancy. This Beta HCG stimulates antibodies so that if a woman’s egg becomes fertilised her own natural HCG will be destroyed and pregnancy will not occur.

MARY PILAR VERZOSA: I began to suspect that here in the Philippines that’s exactly what’s happening. They have laced the tetanus toxoid vials with the Beta HCG. The only way I could make sure that they hadn’t done that was to examine the vials, and how to get a hold of those vials was going to be a problem. Who was I to collect them from the health centres?

NARRATOR: Sister Mary was helped through the Catholic network. A friend who worked in a health clinic removed the vials unnoticed. The nuns packed them with ice and sent them to an independent laboratory.

MARY PILAR VERZOSA: Oh boy that was really something when this came out of my fax machine. Report on HCG concentration in vaccine vials. Three out of those four vials registered positive for HCG, so my suspicions are affirmed that here in our country they are not only giving plain tetanus toxoid vaccination to our women, they are also giving anti-fertility.

“A socioculturally acceptable alternative”

Word has spread in the developing world of these documented cases, but these stories are dismissed as rumor by the United Nations and World Health Organization. Vaccination has been met with increased resistance across many developing countries. UNICEF reports from Ethiopia that, “All sorts of misguided rumours go round that the injections will sterilize them or harm them in some way. But here, the village elders are on board. They are here, encouraging the women to come along.”

Edible vaccines, according to the Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, will be a more socioculturally acceptable alternative to needles. In other words, people will be less resistant to eating a mundane banana than taking a shot in the arm. The Journal states that new edible vaccine technology may serve a dual purpose of birth control. As stated,

“Edible vaccines hold great promise as a cost-effective, easy-to-administer, easy-to-store, fail-safe and socioculturally readily acceptable vaccine delivery system, especially for the poor developing countries… A variety of delivery systems have been developed. Initially thought to be useful only for preventing infectious diseases, it has also found application in prevention of autoimmune diseases, birth control, cancer therapy, etc.”

The journal points out that, “There is growing acceptance of transgenic crops in both industrial and developing countries,” and that, “Resistance to genetically modified foods may affect the future of edible vaccines.” Indeed, GM foods are increasingly being presented as a solution to world hunger and food crises.

Will edible vaccines be used as a tool for birth control in the developing countries? The ability to do so has been demonstrated, and the agenda for population reduction and control has been admitted by the billionaire philanthropists who’s foundations are involved with developing the technology.

I wonder how much of this "stuff" we, the unknowing, have already been exposed to...


Peace and Good Will!
