The request was successful.

Dear Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs,
Bearing in mind the evidence mounting every day of the mrna gene therapy injections are dangerous, are mrna injections allowed in animals ? which animals, which gene therapy injections "vaccinations" and which manufacturers and for what purposes?.
What regulations cover this new development which has not happened before?

Yours faithfully,

We have a target of replying to emails within 20 working days where a
response is required, and 20 working days where a case is handled under
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004.  

Please be aware that we received a high volume of correspondence during
the Covid- 19 outbreak and are working through the backlog of cases. This
may mean a significant delay in response times.

Campaigns  

We receive thousands of identical emails each month from organised
campaigns. Ministers and officials are made aware of these campaigns but
unfortunately, we cannot reply to each email individually.  

Postal enquiries  

As most of our staff are currently working from home, there may be
significant delays in responding to postal requests. Where possible,
please send your correspondence electronically and include the email
address you wish us to respond to.  

Reporting dead birds

birds, such as gulls or birds of prey, you should report them to the Defra
helpline on 03459 33 55 77. Helpline opening hours are Monday to Friday

relevant authority, and will not respond to reports sent to this mailbox. 

Notifiable animal diseases 

If you suspect a notifiable animal disease or have animal welfare
concerns, please report these to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)
immediately. Failure to report a notifiable animal disease is an offence.
APHA can be contacted using the following details: 

England: 03000 200301 or [4][email address

Interviews, university work and work experience 

The Department receives many requests for interviews, participation in
university work and work experience. Unfortunately, given resource
constraints and time pressures, we are unable to fulfil such requests and
will not respond to these emails. 

We recommend you visit the GOV.UK website and examine the material
available there. If after having examined this you still have specific,
targeted questions, please let us know and we shall endeavour to answer
them.  

Defra no longer runs a central placement scheme. We now advise all
applicants to write to their local offices requesting a placement as they
are arranged locally between student and prospective line manager:

Dear Paul,

 

Thank you for your e-mail of  18 October 2022.

 

We are dealing with it under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

 

Your request

Dear Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Bearing in mind
the evidence mounting every day of the mrna gene therapy injections are
dangerous, are mrna injections allowed in animals ? which animals, which
gene therapy injections "vaccinations" and which manufacturers and for
what purposes?.

What regulations cover this new development which has not happened before?

 

Our reply

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) regulates Veterinary Medicinal
Products (VMPs) and assesses applications submitted by the veterinary
pharmaceutical industry to authorise and make available good quality, safe
and efficacious VMPs. There are currently no veterinary vaccines or gene
therapies authorised which contain mRNA as the active substance. However,
current legislation does not preclude manufacturers of mRNA VMPs from
applying for a marketing authorisation in the future. The marketing
authorisation application (MAA) would be assessed for quality
(manufacture), safety (target and non-target animals, user, consumer and
environment) and efficacy and the overall benefit-risk balance evaluated.
Data requirements and assessment of the MAA would follow the same rigorous
standards as for any other VMP. Guidance for the pharmaceutical industry
on Marketing Authorisations for veterinary medicines including the
legislative basis can be found at:
[1]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/marketing-au....
mRNA VMPs are emerging novel therapies and currently there is no specific
UK guidance covering these specific veterinary products.

 

Further information about veterinary medicines currently authorised in
Great Britain and Northern Ireland can be found on the [2]Product
Information Database on GOV.UK.
