The bill isn't asking for any special privilege, not asking ranchers to modify anything whatsoever. No, just asking the state of Utah to mandate labeling so that the consumer can make the choice himself if he's okay with CRISPR genes or not. It's simple: it's a consent issue.
sponsored by Utah Senator, Trevor Lee, to the Utah legislature HB0549 that would require labeling of meat that had received genetic vaccines, so the people of Utah [can] choose [if they want to take on] the risks of inadvertent secondary transfection using this technology to consumers, meat handlers and the environment are still being investigated.
Paid pharma shills for big AG came out in force and blatantly lied or asserted safety with no proof of such, in defense of not requiring labels. Jennifer Dailey-Provost [Rep.-D] went so far as to assert that we couldn’t be “experts" on the subject because we were not from Utah??? while deferring to FDA experts amongst other idiocy that had no basis in science! I hear she is a physician. 
It was an embarrassing show of paid influence with not one “against” referring to human health risk or risk to the environment, but only the money it would cost and ‘meat hesitancy’— if you can believe it and the hurdles this would require.
This bill was about requiring LABELS!!! People have the right to know whether they are working with or ingesting secondarily genetic vaccines which may still have transfection potential—-i.e., may cause the consumer to produce the antigen like spike protein or other viral or bacterial foreign antigen, or are at risk for DNA integration from the agent. The risks range from oncogenic [cancer-causing] risk from insertional mutagenesis to the uncontrolled production of antigens and “off target” proteins from using modMRNA and plasmids and autoimmune effects to neurological consequences and cardiac harm to passing these on to offspring with unknown consequence!
Meat handlers could be exposed to untold amounts of transfective agents and proteins which could pose a health risk.
Bacteria in the soil and animals up the food chain are exposed from fecal material and urine and farm waste.
Farm handlers are exposed through shedding of the gene therapies and direct contact with large amounts of the transfective agents directly.
There are hundreds of these gene therapies that have now been approved for use in the animals we ingest.
This must be investigated!!!
