Let’s Get Busy with a Prolife Vaccine for COVID-19; The use of aborted fetuses for the development of vaccines is ethically objectionable

The use of aborted fetuses for the development of vaccines is ethically objectionable. For this reason, alternatives must be made available. This would enable people to keep from violating their consciences by resorting to a vaccine that utilizes aborted fetal tissue.

“What I find fascinating is that you all work with a retina taken from an aborted fetus.” Thus did Rick Nieman, presenter of the television program WNL op Zondag [in the Netherlands], begin his conversation about corona vaccines with Hanneke Schuitemaker, professor of virology and head of vaccine research at Janssen Pharmaceutica, a pharmaceutical company located in Leyden. This statement revealed what normally remains hidden in the test tubes and petri dishes of the laboratory: the fact that a retina from an aborted child provided a unique cell line, PER.C6, each cell of which is a unique factory in which to test a vaccine.

Janssen makes use of this cell line, derived from an 18-week-old healthy fetus aborted in 1985. The mother gave permission to use the tissue; whether she knows of the PER.C6 line subsequently developed from it is another question. Of the cells cultured from the retina, one cell continued to divide after treatment with an adenovirus, thus forming a cell line.

Janssen used to be the Leyden-based company Crucell, owner of the cell line. Crucell made money multiplying cells and selling them to pharmaceutical companies. Crucell was acquired in 2011 by the US pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson.

Researchers are hard at work worldwide to produce a vaccine to combat COVID-19. Over 160 vaccines are currently in development, of which a few are in the initial test phase.

In vaccine development as a whole, there are only a few cases in which cell lines derived from aborted fetal tissue are used.

If, after reading this article, you have any doubt that we have reached Peak stupid, you are not paying attention. How is it that fetuses Who do not receive incoming oxygen through their lungs, but rather through their umbilical cord will be able to show the effects of an inhaled virus? This is an article that is just completely inane, and is clearly designed just to jangle your sensibilities. Wake up, people.

Idiocy in action.

Let’s not develop a life saving vaccine because it was developed from abortions? Totally immoral and unethical.

This is the type of nonsense that hurts the life cause. The vast majority of Americans reject this ridiculous notion of morality.

When an abortionist fails to get the desired result, some babies are born with a beating heart, taking their first breaths, which results in situation where the abortionist can no longer use the word ‘fetus’.

They refuse to use the word ‘baby’ so the child is referred to as a “POC” which is an abbreviation for Product Of Conception, so that child will be denied medical care available for any other premature birth. The baby will be allowed to die! (referred to as medical waste)

Other live births which are at the final stage of gestation are also referred to as POC’s and those children will have their organs harvested while they are still alive! (Referred to as organ donors)

These abominations occur regularly for two reasons:
It is allowed by law.
Physicians who perform this ‘procedures’ feel no moral obligation whatsoever.

I can imagine nothing more evil, and nothing more depraved...

God have mercy!

Had a home visit from Matrix Medical yesterday, a Nurse Practitioner working on behalf of HighMark.

She asked me if I take flu shots, shingles, vaccine, tetanus shots, I told her NO because they are made with aborted babies, and probably come from China. But didn’t I realize all the benefits that come from vaccines?

Told her vaccines used to be made with chicken embryos, not human beings. Just because it is legal does not make it right.

Told her I will not take a vaccine made at the behest of a billionaire computer programmer, even if the government threatens me. I will probably lose my Social Security and my VA disability, but I will die knowing I made the right decision.

This garbage has to stop.

The Divine Physician will bless you for your faith and courage.

I didn’t know about the flu shots or the tetanus shots either, I have had both. I have refused flu shots many times only because I thought they were unnecessary and ineffective, but because of my age the doctors had me believing I was neglecting my health by deferring them.

As a result I had two flu shots and a pneumonia vaccine in the last two years. Never again. Thank you for your post, I learned something...

Here’s a website which will show you ethical vaccines:

https://cogforlife.org/

You can call them each year to find out if the flu vaccine is ethical. I checked with them a couple of times, and the flu vaccine WAS ethical those years. (Hopefully it always is.)

Moderna and Johnson and Johnson are two that use unethical vaccines for coronavirus. (But then Johnson and Johnson is bad news on many fronts.)
