Ron DeSantis has been fighting the World Economic Forum’s radical agenda in Florida for years.
But what he just exposed left Americans absolutely stunned.
And Ron DeSantis exposed one sick plan by global elites that will make your blood boil.
Bioethicists Propose Using Ticks to Engineer Meat Allergies in Humans
Ron DeSantis called out something so disturbing last week that most Americans couldn’t believe it was real.
The Florida Governor posted a 2016 video of Matthew Liao, a bioethics professor at New York University, calmly explaining how ticks could be weaponized to make humans allergic to red meat.¹
"People eat too much meat. And if they were to cut down on their consumption of meat, then it would actually really help the planet," Liao said in the clip.¹ "There’s this thing called the lone star tick, where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat. So, that’s something we can do through human engineering."¹
DeSantis didn’t mince words about what this represents.
"Genetically engineering humans to become allergic to meat because some elites think people eat ‘too much’ of it is insane," DeSantis wrote on X.² "Let us alone!"²
The Governor linked these proposals directly to the World Economic Forum and World Health Organization — organizations he’s made clear aren’t welcome in Florida.²
Academic Journal Publishes Paper Arguing Spreading Meat Allergy Is a "Moral Obligation"
The disturbing part is Liao wasn’t just theorizing back in 2016.
He first floated this idea in a 2013 TED Talk, where he suggested artificially inducing meat intolerance by stimulating immune systems against bovine proteins.³
Now, more than a decade later, the academic establishment is taking this seriously.
A paper published this month in the journal Bioethics argued that using the lone star tick to spread alpha-gal syndrome — a severe red meat allergy — could be morally required.⁴
The authors, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth from Western Michigan University, claimed that "if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tickborne AGS are also morally impermissible."⁴
They acknowledged the obvious ethical problems — few people would volunteer for a tick bite that makes them allergic to beef, and forcing it on people raises serious questions about bodily autonomy.⁴
When pressed by The College Fix, the authors insisted their paper was just a "thought experiment."⁴
Kendall Mackintosh, a board-certified nutrition specialist, wasn’t buying it.
"Calling it a ‘thought experiment’ doesn’t make it any less disturbing," Mackintosh said.⁴ "The idea that inducing an allergy or harming human health could somehow serve a moral purpose shows just how far detached some parts of academia have become from basic human ethics."⁴
The fact this got published in a peer-reviewed journal tells you everything about where the academic establishment’s head is at.
The World Economic Forum’s Long Campaign Against Red Meat
DeSantis connected these academic proposals to a much larger agenda pushed by global organizations.
The World Economic Forum has spent years promoting the reduction of meat consumption.
In 2019, the WEF released a video suggesting that in the near future, humans would be limited to "one beef burger, two portions of fish and one or two eggs per week" to "save the planet."⁵

That same year, they published a white paper calling for "a transformation in the global system for protein provision" to meet climate targets.⁶
The WEF has repeatedly promoted lab-grown meat and alternative proteins.
Their 2019 article claimed humans would be "eating replacement meats within 20 years."⁷
A 2020 piece said there were "promising" signs of lab-grown meat adoption.⁸ By 2022, they were claiming lab-grown meat "almost entirely eliminates the need to farm animals for food."⁹
Bill Gates has been a major investor in this agenda, putting money into Beyond Meat in 2019.¹⁰
In his 2021 book, Gates argued that stopping climate change requires humans to switch to synthetic meats, later suggesting wealthy countries move to "100% synthetic beef."¹⁰
Beyond Meat’s stock tells you how well that’s working — it cratered from $240 to less than $1 amid collapsing U.S. consumer demand.¹⁰
DeSantis Already Took Action to Protect Florida from This Agenda
The Governor wasn’t just talking about these threats — he already acted to stop them.
Last year, DeSantis signed legislation making Florida the first state to ban the sale of lab-grown meat.¹¹
"Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals," DeSantis said when signing the bill.¹¹
The law makes it illegal to "manufacture for sale, sell, hold or offer for sale, or distribute cultivated meat" in Florida.¹¹
DeSantis framed it explicitly as opposition to the World Economic Forum’s agenda to push lab-grown meat and insects as protein sources.¹¹

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson praised the move as protecting "our incredible farmers and the integrity of American agriculture."¹¹
Several other states followed Florida’s lead, with Alabama, Arizona, and Tennessee all considering similar bans.¹²
Alpha-Gal Syndrome Cases Are Exploding Across America — Naturally
The cruel irony is that alpha-gal syndrome is already spreading across the United States without any bioethicist intervention.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that suspected AGS cases have exploded from just 24 documented cases in 2009 to an estimated 450,000 Americans affected by 2025.¹³
When the lone star tick bites someone, it transfers the alpha-gal sugar molecule into the bloodstream.¹⁴
The immune system releases antibodies to fight this foreign sugar.
After that reaction, eating red meat can trigger severe allergic reactions — including potentially fatal anaphylaxis.¹⁴
The tick’s range has been expanding due to climate shifts and deer migration patterns, spreading AGS to new regions.¹⁵
States with the highest rates are Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and throughout the South and Midwest — exactly where lone star ticks are most common.¹⁶
The expansion is happening naturally. Nobody is engineering it.
Control Over Food Production
"This isn’t dietary advice — it’s social engineering," Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo, said.¹⁷ "Unelected global organizations have no business dictating what free people eat, especially when they’re demonizing traditional foods that have sustained human health for millennia."¹⁷
Ji connected the dots on why global elites are so obsessed with eliminating traditional meat production.
"The war on meat has never been about climate. It’s about control — consolidating food production under centralized, patented, technology-dependent systems," Ji explained.¹⁷
"Meat represents everything the global technocracy fears: decentralized production, nutritional independence and cultural traditions that resist standardization. When people can raise their own food, they’re harder to control. The WEF understands this perfectly."¹⁷
Mackintosh spelled out who benefits from pushing Americans away from traditional ranching.
"The biggest winners in the lab-grown meat push are large food conglomerates, biotech companies and venture capital investors who own the patents and production technology," Mackintosh said.¹⁸ "Small farmers and ranchers — the backbone of our food system — lose. This is about creating dependence, not sustainability."¹⁸
Follow the money and you’ll find the real motivation behind the climate panic about cattle ranching.
Biotech corporations stand to make billions from patents on synthetic meat and centralized food production systems.
Meanwhile, independent ranchers and farmers who’ve sustained American communities for generations get squeezed out by regulations, stigma, and now academic papers suggesting we should biologically engineer humans to reject their products.
Ji warned about what comes next if this agenda succeeds.
"This is about far more than food, it’s about whether human beings retain sovereignty over their own bodies, or whether that sovereignty can be overridden by those who believe they know better," Ji said.¹⁹ "The answer to that question will determine whether we remain free."¹⁹
Joseph Sansone, who has sued DeSantis over other issues, said the Governor got this one exactly right.
"DeSantis is calling out something that many Americans feel — they don’t want global organizations or unelected bodies deciding what they can or can’t eat," Sansone said.²⁰
The World Economic Forum’s vision for your diet isn’t about saving the planet.
It’s about consolidating control over food production under corporate patents while destroying the independence that comes from decentralized agriculture.
DeSantis recognized that threat and drew a line in the sand for Florida.
The question is whether other governors will follow his lead — or whether they’ll let bioethicists and global elites continue engineering their population’s future without permission.
