University of California were awarded a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop technology that infuses experimental mRNA Covid-19 vaccines into spinach, lettuce, and other edible plants

“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” Giraldo said. “We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens.”

Millions of people who have refused to get an experimental mRNA vaccine may soon be forced to consume the gene therapy in their food.
