Did Trump know this was one of the “ingredients” and who really knew about this? I didn’t.
I’m more curious about the decision to use any fetal cells than I am about the headline.
“...the president received an emergency cocktail of anti-coronavirus antibodies made by Regeneron. These molecules are manufactured in cells from a hamster’s ovary, so-called “CHO” cells, according to the company—not in human cells....”
******************************************************
So...NOT MADE FROM ABORTED FETAL CELLS. Fake News!
Alexandra Bowie, a Regeneron spokesperson. “But the 293T cell lines available today are not considered fetal tissue, and we did not otherwise use fetal tissue.”
Mr. Krystal, is that you?
This drug is synthetic so I don’t think this is true!!
Boy, they sure are reaching.
Debunked on several sources including https://factcheck.thedispatch.com/p/was-trumps-antibody-cocktail-created
“What’s more, a Regeneron representative told The Dispatch Fact Check that “Regeneron’s REGN-COV2 program did not involve use of human stem cells, embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue.”
“Did Trump know this was one of the “ingredients” and who really knew about this? I didn’t.”

Well, since it’s NOT “one of the ‘ingredients’” I’m glad you didn’t “know” it. Fake news, FRiend.
You would be correct. Obvious ploy to separate Trump from the base.
REGENERON USES EMBRYOS THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED SOLELY THROUGH IN VITRO FERTILIZATION.
“Embryonic stem cells are sought after in scientific research because they can develop into all cell types of the body. While embryonic cells from abortions are commonly used, Regeneron clarified that it uses embryos that have been “created solely through in vitro fertilization”.
How are we to know now what is and is not made from aborted babies? It’s unconscionable. I am staying away from ALL pharma products if I can.
These kind of posts will make me deaf to the news until election day. Obvious attempt to divide and conquer. Trump will win.
Nancy’s attempt to “talk” about the 25th amendment in the House tomorrow is a clear “tell” that they’ve lost the election.
“Ingredients”
Even if one of the aborted cell lines was used in the manufacture (it isn’t), the cells do not end up in the product itself. But still unacceptable to any pro-lifer.
I’d read several years ago that most of the fetal cells used in research is from umbilical cords, which are more available n much less expensive. I’ll Google when I get home
America knows it now.
Was Trump’s Antibody Cocktail Created Through Research Using Embryonic Stem Cells?
