Tennessee might prohibit the manufacture, sale, delivery, holding, or offering for sale of any part of livestock or meat food product containing an mRNA vaccine or vaccine material without clear labels stating the vaccine contents, according to a proposal filed in the state’s General Assembly.
The measure, filed by Republican legislators in the state House and Senate, defines mRNA vaccine or vaccine material as a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against disease by introducing messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) that corresponds to a viral protein.
