Vaccine in bananas? Here is what is happening with genetic dicing and slicing.
"What we wanted to do was take the gene for that surface protein, put it into plant cells, and ask whether the plant would make a virus-like particle. It's a mimic, or a decoy, that looks like the virus, but with none of the genes inside, so it can't cause disease. First of all, we found that we could do that. We did that in collaboration with Mary Estes at Baylor College of Medicine, who's an expert in this stuff." sourceYes, we know they can do that because some of the vaccines for Covid are just that. But, we have to get an injection. Why not get the vaccine in the banana. Then it will be easy to vaccinate the whole world without them even knowing it, at least at first. Yes, I know that I am not very trusting of the world. I have seen too much.
"When we started thinking about delivery systems, the one that I began focusing on about eight years ago was bananas. When you start peeling a banana, the minute that peeling comes off, you are exposing a sterile environment inside. There are no bacteria. There are no fungi in there. This is a self-contained sterile container that also contains protein. So you can think of it as a sterile protein-manufacturing system. If we can put genes into bananas and cause them to produce the protein we want--in this case, a vaccine--in that sterile compartment, then all we have to do is pop it open and deliver it."
