Discussion on Vaccines in Food Products

Give me an example of a food that's a vaccine.

You're right.

Yes. Uh, U- University of California Riverside has

already

perfected the ability to put human vaccines into our lettuce right now.

Also toma- also tomatoes has the ability to do

that also for UC

Berkeley. And then, uh, uh, big tobacco, RJ Reynolds and stuff, has

perfected the ability to put a human vaccine in, into tobacco products.

Chairman Clements.

And is that even legal to do in the state of Tennessee,

to sell those with a vaccine in them?

You're right.

Uh, well, I, I'm not arguing that point.

What I'm saying is there is no law deeming those that

when you go into a

grocery store, you should know as a consumer this head of

lettuce is a head of

lettuce. The head of lettuce right next to it could

contain a vaccine in it.

All we're saying is, if it does have the vaccine in it,

make sure it's listed as a

pharmaceutical so people can get the proper dosage.

You're right.

Thank you. Well, my con- my question is, is right now, can you walk

into a grocery store and there be a let- head of lettuce for sale that

has a vaccine in it? I don't think that's allowed under state

law presently.

And if it is, and you have to list it as a-

Pharmaceutical

... pharmaceutical, are we going to then

have Walgreens pharmacists with a

refrigerated section? I mean, how's this gonna play out?
