Gene Therapy Injections for Livestock (FOI)

​Request

1. Bearing in mind the evidence mounting every day of the mrna gene therapy injections being dangerous, are mrna injections allowed in animals? which animals, which gene therapy injections "vaccinations" and which manufacturers and for what purposes?. 

What regulations cover this new development? 

This question was asked of you last year yet in light of speculation that the United States has begun injecting livestock and in light of the new UK bill Genetic Technology (Precision Engineering) Act 2023, it feels as though the question needs to be asked again?

2.Do our UK crops contain any mRNA or RNA or are they being engineered with any nanotechnology that transfers spike proteins or even contains spike proteins?

3. Does the new Genetic Technology (Precision Engineering) Act 2023 therefore allow for the type of mRNA,RNA or spike protein (as above) to be entered into our livestock and crops?

If so, what crops and what animals are being engineered or vaccinated this way if this has already begun?

And for what purpose?

If livestock or crops that are sold to consumers in the UK are ever sold containing mRNA or spike proteins, would there be a requirement to label these consumables as containing the same?

How would we ever know that mRNA or spike proteins have been engineered or injected to our food supply?

The Government of Jersey does not manufacture any animal vaccinations, nor gene therapy injections, therefore this information is not held, and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

However, the information requested is publicly available using the link below, therefore Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has also been applied.

Jersey does not allow GM crops to be used, commercial seed is sourced from UK and EU suppliers, regulated accordingly in those jurisdictions, and supplied to Jersey.
