Snopes fact-checks claims by ‘deep state conspiracy grifters’ that US government adds COVID vaccines into our food supply


For several years, a collection of anti-vaccine activists, snake oil salesmen, anti-GMO activists, and deep state conspiracy grifters have been raising the alarm about the specter of the government secretly adding COVID-19 vaccines into the food supply.
Mike Flynn, during a September 2021 podcast appearance, referenced this research, describing it as “putting the vaccine in salad dressing.”
The bottom line is that plants that can produce vaccine ingredients are a topic of research, but that research is preliminary. In most cases, the idea is not to create edible food but to use plants to create active ingredients from food.
…
The notion that mRNA is in meat, or will soon be in meat, stems from the false notion that mRNA vaccines for livestock are presently in use. They do not yet exist, and as such claims that their use is imminent are impossible. Even if such a vaccine were used, however, claims that such a use could transfer active vaccine ingredients to a consumer of that animal’s meat are rooted in scientific impossibilities.
For those reasons, we rate this collection of claims as “False.”
