This bill creates (i) an offense for a person to knowingly manufacture, acquire, possess, or make accessible to another mRNA injections and products, and (ii) an offense for the governor, attorney general, district attorneys general, county sheriffs, or state and local law enforcement officers to fail or refuse to use all lawful means necessary to investigate or enforce a violation of the first offense after being provided with reasonable evidence of a violation. "mRNA INJECTIONS AND PRODUCTS"" DEFINED As used in this bill, ""mRNA injections and products"" means all of the following:  With regard to COVID-19 injections, mRNA or modified messenger RNA as related to gene altering agents, with a structure altered by substituting two N-methyl-pseudouridine amino acids for the usual uridine components so as to elude immune destruction of the mRNA, allowing the mRNA that produces the pathogenic spike protein to exist within cells for a longer period of time.  All other injections or products containing mRNA or modified messenger RNA.  Any human gene therapy product for any infectious disease indication, regardless of whether the administration is described as an immunization, vaccine, or otherwise.  Nanotechnology or nanoparticles that alter genes and create a biosynthetic cell replication.
