Bill Gates has been an advocate for vaccines, which he has a financial interest in, and more recently climate change, about which he has financial interests in some of the related technologies for supposed carbon emission reduction. For example, artificial meat has been one of his hobby horses so to speak, and he has interests there as well.
However, now Gates has moved to combine his two loves together, that of mRNA vaccines, and carbon reduction. The new proposal is to target the supposed methane production of cows with a methane reducing vaccine. Gates has invested in ArkeaBio, a Boston-based ag-biotech start-up, through Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Gates. "Climate change is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced," said ArkeaBio CEO Colin South. "It is the race of our lives. This capital raise allows us to continue to create the tools necessary for farmers to achieve globally relevant reductions in livestock methane emissions."
The big concern here is what will these new mRNA vaccines do, given the disaster we have seen with the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines? James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a research scientist and author, has said:
""We don't need to vaccinate every cow to cause their immune systems to attack these microbes to reduce methane," he said. "Permacultural practices produce high-quality feed easier to digest that produces less methane than low-quality feeds."
Lyons-Weiler said that any vaccine attacking animals' immune systems with the goal of reducing their methane emissions may put the animals' health at risk and may also endanger the meat industry.
Dr Lyons-Weiler also said:
"An additional concern is that cattle everywhere will develop serious gastrointestinal illnesses as their immune systems attack these naturally occurring methane-producing non-pathogenic organisms.
"Entire 'vaccinated' herds will become commercially unviable, and the meat industry will be destroyed. It is entirely reasonable to suspect this is the ultimate goal of this insane endeavor."
This seems to be the next big push with the vaccine conspiracy, to use the same technology that has made most humans into genetically modified organisms, for cows. As a farmer, I find this prospect simply tragic, spending my whole life in the "cow industry." We must fight this for the sake of our very good friend, the cow, and of course, our meat and dairy industries. Farming is under full-scale attack by the globalists, under the disguise of environmentalism.
"Bill Gates has long been a proponent of vaccines in general and more recently, mRNA vaccine technology.
Now, he may have his sights set on developing a vaccine to combat climate change by targeting the methane emissions of livestock.
ArkeaBio, a Boston-based ag-biotech startup, recently raised $26.5 million in a Series A financing round to "reduce greenhouse gas emissions" via the development of a "methane vaccine," the company announced in a May 8 press release.
Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Gates and which first invested in ArkeaBio in 2022, led the financing round.
The company said:
"ArkeaBio's vaccine will provide an innovative, cost-effective, and scalable solution to reduce the world's livestock methane emissions, which currently generate the equivalent of 3 Billion Tonnes of CO2 annually and represent 6% of annual Greenhouse gas emissions."
ArkeaBio claims its "vaccination-based approach allows for much-needed decarbonization of global meat and dairy products across multiple geographies, supporting greater sustainability in agriculture."
Other investors in the recently completed financing round include The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, AgriZeroNZ — a "partnership between the New Zealand government and major agribusinesses" — Rabo Ventures, Overview Capital and The51 Food & AgTech Fund.
"The funds raised in this Series A financing will play a pivotal role in expanding the research, development and deployment of the vaccine, including large-scale field trials and engagement along the supply chain," ArkeaBio said in its press release.
"Climate change is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced," said ArkeaBio CEO Colin South. "It is the race of our lives. This capital raise allows us to continue to create the tools necessary for farmers to achieve globally relevant reductions in livestock methane emissions."
Critics of the project who spoke with The Defender disagreed, suggesting "climate change vaccines" are not feasible but will instead help international organizations such as the World Economic Forum, nonprofits like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Big Pharma attain more control over society.
Immunologist and biochemist Jessica Rose, Ph.D. told The Defender:
"The 'climate' is something that can be used against all people, no matter what, because we all breathe air and drink water. This is why it is a perfect 'item of control' being used to engineer panic. A new 'deadly virus/vaccine' campaign would be less effective in this way, following the colossal failure of the 'COVID-19 measures.'
"To me, 'climate change' is a catchphrase to mask the damage being done to our environment by mass polluters."
Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., author of "The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda," said that "climate change vaccines" are part of a broader "false narrative."
Rectenwald said:
"It's not surprising that these Neo-Malthusian control freaks, psychopaths and government-backed monopolistic profiteers are teaming up to usher in this false narrative. 'Climate change' is being used by Big Pharma, the WEF [World Economic Forum], Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, and their regime puppets as a pretence to promote vaccines and control society."
Scott C. Tips, president of the National Health Federation, said "climate change vaccines" would also give Big Pharma another avenue to promote mRNA technology.
"Such vaccines would certainly incorporate dangerous mRNA technology, just as tetanus shots now do," he said.
ArkeaBio is not Gates' only foray into the development of "solutions" related to methane emissions from livestock.
In November 2023, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation granted $4.5 million to Indiana-based animal health biotech company BiomEdit to "deliver a safe and affordable solution that consistently produces significant livestock-related enteric methane emissions reduction."
Ginkgo Bioworks, a Gates-backed biotech firm, and Elanco, which previously received Gates Foundation grants, launched BiomEdit in 2022.
The push for 'centralized, unaccountable and coercive control'
Agricultural experts told The Defender that even if the premise of "climate change vaccines" is correct, livestock-generated methane is a minor contributor to overall carbon emissions.
"These vaccines are not needed," said André Leu, D.Sc., international director of Regeneration International, author and regenerative organic farmer. "They are yet another cost for farmers, further weakening their net income and transferring this to the multinational corporations. They are based on a very poor understanding of greenhouse gas contributions to climate change.
Leu noted that the contribution of methane is at most 1.6% of greenhouse gases. "Most methane emissions come from leaking gas, oil wells and permafrost melting. Ruminants are a very small percentage. The bulk of this comes from Confined Animal Feeding Operations" — also known as factory farms.
Experts also suggested that other means of reducing such methane emissions exist.
Methane from cattle and other livestock belch is produced by microbes in their intestinal tracks through the normal fermentation of feed, noted James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a research scientist and author.
"We don't need to vaccinate every cow to cause their immune systems to attack these microbes to reduce methane," he said. "Permacultural practices produce high-quality feed easier to digest that produces less methane than low-quality feeds."
Lyons-Weiler said that any vaccine attacking animals' immune systems with the goal of reducing their methane emissions may put the animals' health at risk and may also endanger the meat industry.
He said:
"An additional concern is that cattle everywhere will develop serious gastrointestinal illnesses as their immune systems attack these naturally occurring methane-producing non-pathogenic organisms.
"Entire 'vaccinated' herds will become commercially unviable, and the meat industry will be destroyed. It is entirely reasonable to suspect this is the ultimate goal of this insane endeavor."
