For 20 years now, scientists have been working on vaccines that can spread all on their own. These are not theoretical ideas or concepts. Self-spreading vaccines have been developed, manufactured, and tested in animal communities. Tests that were deemed, “a success”.
We are told infectious diseases like; COVID-19, SARS, MERS, and Ebola originated within the animal kingdom and then spread to humans. So the idea behind a self-spreading vaccine is to prevent virus transmission from animals to humans in the first place.
A 2018 John Hopkins paper titled, “Technologies to Address Global Catastrophic Biological Risks” says it best,
Selfspreading vaccines are genetically engineered to move through populations like communicable diseases, but rather than causing disease, they confer protection. The vision is that a small number of individuals in a target population could be vaccinated, and the vaccine strain would then circulate in the population much like a pathogenic virus, resulting in rapid, widespread immunity.
Self-Spreading Vaccine Types
There are two different ways scientists are developing this questionable technology, (source: NewScientist).
- Applying a vaccine to the fur of captured animals and then releasing them back into the environment. Once the animals return to the wild, social grooming results in the vaccine being ingested by other animals.
- Inserting a small piece of the genome from the infectious disease into a benign virus that spreads naturally through the animal population. As this vaccine (man-made virus) spreads through the animal kingdom, it immunizes them against the targeted disease.
In essence, the idea is to beat deadly viruses at their own game. Yet, this seems like playing God.
Fighting natural viruses with man-made viruses just sounds like a bad idea. Sure, in a perfect world where we know all the outcomes it makes sense. In the real world, the possibility of disaster and abuse is almost certain.
Self-Spreading Vaccines: 20 Years In The Making
The Bulletin reports,
For at least 20 years, scientists have been experimenting with such self-spreading vaccines, work that continues to this day, and which has gained the attention of the US military.

The University of California, Davis, for example, is working on a DARPA administered project called Prediction of Spillover Potential and Interventional En Masse Animal Vaccination to Prevent Emerging Pathogen Threats in Current and Future Zones of US Military Operation. According to a pamphlet, the project is “creating the world’s first prototype of a self-disseminating vaccine designed to induce a high level of herd immunity (wildlife population level protection) against Lassa virus … and Ebola.”
Self-Spreading Vaccines Have Already Been Tested
Self-spreading vaccines are not theoretical. They have been developed and tested in live environments. The Bulletin explains,
Self-spreading vaccines have some of their roots in efforts to reduce pest populations. Australian researchers described a virally spread immunocontraception, which hijacked the immune systems of infected animals—in this case a non-native mouse species in Australia—and prevented them from fertilizing offspring. The earliest self-spreading vaccine efforts targeted two highly lethal infectious diseases in the European rabbit population (myxoma virus and rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus). In 2001, Spanish researchers field-tested a vaccine in a wild rabbit population living on Isla del Aire, a small Spanish island just off Menorca. The vaccine spread to more than half the 300 rabbits on the island, and the trial was deemed a success.
What Could Go Wrong?
At this point, it is hard to imagine any rationally minded person wanting to move forward with this experiment. Yet, we see military involvement, and most of the support for this concept comes from within the United States. We can easily see where abuse and warfare could come into play.
It is disturbing to think such a man-made virus could be unleashed into the world. A man-made virus sold as a vaccine would then cross borders into other nations who may object, and once released, scientists will have no control over it its spread or mutation.
No one has the right to introduce something into the environment that could easily spread throughout the world. Not every person or nation will agree with such experiments, yet, they would become participants nevertheless.
Such man-made vaccines (viruses) could certainly cross back into the human race, even if it’s not designed to do so through mutation.
This is not science, but rather, playing God.
