It's not mRNA-based, but if they included a tiny trace amount of a sugar molecule called alpha-gal:
Alpha-gal syndrome is a recently identified type of food allergy to red meat and other products made from mammals. In the United States, the condition is most often caused by a Lone Star tick bite. The bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the person's body. In some people, this triggers an immune system reaction that later produces mild to severe allergic reactions to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb, or other mammal products.
Moderna was founded in 2011 with the goal of using mRNA for all kinds of things. After they realized that the duration of the effect is fairly short and the side effects are very high, they figured out that the only practical use is for vaccines.
Home gene editing kits. They're about 200 bucks. They've been available to the public for a few years already, I'm actually kind of surprised some asshole terrorist hasn't tried to make genetic cleansing type weapons yet.
Then again, I like staying off lists and haven't gone to check if someone has.
If they are what they say they are, they can produce, what, any protein(s) they want?
Biological computing is where I see the most interesting innovation. Where a desktop computer might have several buses but basically tackle one calculation at a time, a biological computer built of whatever protein slurry neuronal network may be able to simultaneously calculate many. A step towards quantum computing.
Also, any genetic disorder involving a small number of failed proteins--curable.
Injection into chickens (or algae?) that produce beef proteins... FlavorSwaps. For both fun/marketing and lower cost of production per kg animal protein. Soylent green.
Acquired Bioluminescence. Better than glow-in-the-dark tattoos?
Two questions.
You seem to have serious preconceived ideas about a lot of this.
It did occur to me, though, that they could turn people allergic to red meat so they stop consuming it.

Theres entire communities of people already hacking their own genomes with CRISPr kits.
