New Zealand effort to reduce livestock emissions revives mRNA vaccine falsehoods

A New Zealand agency has invested in a US startup developing a vaccine to reduce livestock methane emissions, but the jab does not use mRNA, contrary to conspiratorial posts online reviving Covid-era falsehoods about the technology being harmful. The inoculation being developed for cattle uses the recombinant protein technology that has been utilised for decades. Scientists have repeatedly refuted claims mRNA vaccines are toxic or can lead to genetic modification.
